Hi there, I’m 1st Prototype (PRO) and I have a lot of interests, mainly pinball, baseball, music, and other stuff as well.

I am on Pindigo, Pinside, VPForums, & VPUniverse in terms of other social sites.

I am starting a new daily (hopefully!) thing starting today called Guess the Pinball machine. Each day I will put in a photo of a random game’s artwork zoomed in by a lot.

Hint: It is a 70’s EM.
