The THANKS-giving thread

[DRANO]

Well, it's 2015 and I can't sleep after a huge family gathering and New Years party. It could be all the drinking

It's been a couple of days now but I wanted to make sure one final good deed of 2014 was recognized.
I big thank you to Sparky for, first, collecting my Bally Eight Ball from ottawa... and then, earlier this week, delivering it the GTA for me.
It's always great to see you Ian. Your enthusiasm is contagious and I greatly appreciate all of your efforts on my (and others') behalf.

Happy new year everyone; and I will endeavour to earn at least as many thanks this year as I give out.
Now that seems like a good resolution!

Im dropping a thanks to everyone I have encountered on my journey in this hobby.

I have had machines in my home for many years, but it was only once I joind pbrev almost 2 years ago that I met many knew people, made lots of new friends and contacts.


You guys know who you are, and how you have helped/corrupted me in this time.

My home office is officially lined up and should be sitting still for a while, as I only have room for the 4 right now. Thanks to those who have shared parts, knowledge, picked up, dropped off and helped me move in/out all the machines that have come and gone.


Here's to a long future ahead, and for those who know me, my offers are genuine and dont ever be afraid to call one me for help.

I am thankful for all my friends who assist me on a daily basis in this "crazy, wild, fun" hobby.

That was my great pleasure Tim.

I've had a lot of help with my recent P&B project that deserves some thanks... but I'll wait until it's done. I'm sure the list will grow.

 

[DRANO]

It's been a while since I've sent out a big thank you but I was holding off as I knew that my recent Official Baseball restoration would offer me plenty of opportunity.

I have a ton of people to thank for their support and assistance on this project.

Firstly, Spiroagnew was a huge help in assisting me to bring the game home in the first place and then further assisted me a great deal in acquiring many of the key parts I needed for the restore.
A huge thanks to my buddy Mike in Minnesota for selflessly offering to throw his metalworking capabilities at this task and custom making a missing player bracket for me.
Several Pinsiders and long time EM P&B guys assisted me in the parts department as well. Pete, Dave, Joe, Mike, Mickey etc.... Hope I haven't missed anyone.
And also a big thanks to Cooke for his help in diagnosing a few bugs once I had it all re-assembled and then, of course, Warlock himself for providing transport for the game to Allentown and ensuring I had room on the way back by bringing my other game home.

A huge thank you to all.
Hopefully, I haven't missed anyone.
