Title: GOOD BYE!!! sorry to say that my time has come - to RETIRE
Post by: GOS on November 21, 2017, 02:35:40 PM
been on this site many years now - many of you know me - I have been in this hobby/business for 40 years!!!  started with mechanicals (mills - watling - jennings ....)  then Bally E/M  -  E-Series and as the years went by and more machines became LEGAL?  learned or tried to learn newer technologies - ALL with the help of other NLG and Larry Weber and Alan.  I have sold off most of my parts (given most away) - only have a few S+ and that DEMON VISION game that has been the death of me.  I will be offering up what I have left 12/4 - cash and carry. I will be leaving the US on 12/18.  Will be back occasionally but RETIRED means no more slots.  I LOVED the hobby/job - will miss it NOT.  Worked my ass off for to long.  Time to travel - hit the beaches - bars.  Will read this site to see what is going on - maybe someone will find the answer to my VISION or THE VISION if someone takes on this challenge - hope Joey has enough space for this hog.

Enjoy your retirement and best wishes for good health always.
We'll probably hear about you fixing slot machines somewhere with palm trees & ladies in grass skirts.   :odie:

It's been an honor to know you and to have done business dealing over the past year. I hope you have a long and enjoyable retirement. Wish I had a little extra $$ on hand, I would have bought a few more items over the past week. Keep in touch and don't become a stranger.  :cheers:

Hello from the PHILIPPINES - home of VOLCANOS and TYPHOONS - and sadly NO SLOT MACHINES - bummer - love it here - people friendly for the most part - SECURITY EVERYWHERE - every store - restaurant - 7/11 stores - banks usually have 2 guards - MALLS are awesome - new - each store will have 2 or more clerks (small stores) - metal detectors and guards at all entrances - hotels - lots of security - no store robberies  here - AND they SHOOT drug dealers - no trials!!!   Wake up AMERICA!!  I am on the island of Cebu - in Cebu City - trying to get used to the Filapino food _ not doing well on that - haven't traveled much yet (7000 islands to explore)  - Just got back onto NLG (THANK YOU JOEY) - internet is 3rd world here too.  Been living off of WIFI (dying more than living) - just got fibre - modem and what they call hi speed - DON'T ASK - you will never stop laughing. Don't think there are many hackers here - they would TIME OUT.   I will try to add my 2 cents when I see a post that I can answer.  My EBAY STORE is still alive - i turned it over to a friend who just ships parts - has no expertise with slots.

 Sound like you are living the dream! I knew a guy from another forum I frequent who sold his plumbing business in WA state. Moved the family down there and opened a Pirate Themed Dive Resort on the Coast. It was his dream and he loves it.


 Keep popping in as you can. I'm sure no one will chase you away.

Good to hear from you GOS, enjoy yourself in this retirement and check in here when you can.

I think I have an old-school modem I can send you if you think it will be an upgrade to your internet connection.  :garfield:

Congrats.  I had hoped to get to Clark Air Base when I was in the Air Force.  Mt Pinatubo blew it's top and dashed those hopes.  Had to settle for Korea instead.  Be careful and enjoy!

I think I figured out that you are about 14 hours on the clock ahead of USA midwest time, so it is already tomorrow morning for you. Glad to see you back online, you were missed.  :wave:

Maybe you can win the annual slot giveaway and NLG folks will chip in to ship it to you. That would be very popular with your new
neighbors.

MAIL - SHIPPING???   - i mailed a test 1st class letter from Florida on 12/4 - it arrive 1/29/18!!!  Any packages are usually empty by the time they are delivered if at all.   My IMAC works great - yawns a lot waiting for data.  Technology - CELL PHONES - US phones don't work here especially IPHONE - you have to get special sim cards with some kind of booster chip after they UNLOCK the IPHONE - the good news it cost 100 peso a week to use a cell phone ($2.00 US)  local calls - international haven't measured that cost yet.  So doing the math $8.00 (400 peso) for smart phone use - vs $100 ATT!!!!   Bad part is when i switch back to ATT sim card back for US use - good but when i change my phone back to philippine sim cards phone doesn't work - so I bought a NEW SMART PHONE - OPPO - philippine brand - android platform - works great and it cost me $100 US - so i  have 2 phones - one for here and one for US - but the OPPO phone will work in US as is - no sim card change - guess I dump ATT when I go back March to do my TAXES!!!!

also heard all of the Celebrities are going to take over  and run our country since they are all so intelligent and trustworthy. That is after they burn all the male hollywood execs at the stake.  Rosie O for president - wouldn't that be SPECIAL
