Dude, whatever. There are two things Wayne is stopping: JACK and SHIT.
Just yesterday I received a non-licensed part in the mail. What's it for?
Oh, I dunno, let's just say it's for MY WALL. That it also happens to fit
inside a pinball machine perfectly is a happy coincidence! :)

let me tell yah i am so scared i am hiding all my assets and my two

out in my shed too. I was tired of not being able to fit the lawn
mower in there anyway.
I hope that guy is standing behind a boosted rx2 or rx3 one day and a

Car guys will know what i am talking about. Especially those from down

Avoid shops that do sell a lot of kangaroo stuff

Subject: pinball repro
I just wanted to email you to tell you i am reproing lots of stuff.
Who knows what but its being reproed and you can do anything about it
nananananana YOU SUCK DICK HEAD.
Oh yeah cant wait to get ahold of nucore :) and all teh other stuff
that you dont make hahaha cant wait till you get sued for ripping
people off with your mm scam.
Someone get the straight jacket boys!
Someone has finally lost it.
Very mature post from a 'businessman' - comes across like a 3 year old
with that nananeenana rubbish
And could YOU SUCK DICKHEAD be part of the new roms for MM when it
gets released shortly?
And where is Expat at the moment - seems to be distancing himself from
these threads too??
I once emailed this "business" person in regards to a playfield he had
listed on ebay. I simply wanted to know if it was an original or a
reproduction. Here was his responses....
"Mate I spent over a Million dolars buying the rights from Williams.
do you think i am going to risk selling a whitewood playfield that is
not original.
Please dont bid you guys are so anal
- pinball-sales"
When I responded that I thought his response was unprofessional
considering all I wanted to know was if the playfield was original or
not he sends this one...
"jealous I control your hobby
we also bought 78 patents which cosy 2-4k each to renew,plus
engineering inventory as well as artwork, you have no idea what we
paid,
The playfield is what it is.
I dont care what you buy from me, without our parts you may as well
sell your games.
Take care
- pinball-sales"
When I responded, never mind I didn't care to do business with such a
person I got this response....
"who gives a fuck mate
I am a millionaire and own the bally Williams pinball rights, so i
might just feel like a price increase on all our parts.
- pinball-sales"
My last response to him was to explain that his price increases would
not effect me and I didn't care to buy his .99 parts that he marks up
500% this was his response....
"yes we paid .99c for items selling for $500, we sell a lot of
products, we are the largest pinball parts Manufacturer in the World,
with Distributors in 30 countries, we own the Bally Williams IP and 78
Patents inc Williams Website www.pinball.com.
Mate I love your emails, Because you will buy parts for your games,
and we make them regardless of who you buy from.
Like owning a Corvette, you need to buy Chev Specific Parts if you
crash it
Go back to collecting un employment
- pinball-sales"
This guy needs help.
Says the guy who posts negative, unverified news on UKPinball before
Christmas about Stern (the only *real* coinop pinball manufacturer),
like talking about Ray Tanzer quiting, trying so hard to get someone
else to re-post it to RGP during Steve's posting frenzy. Not to
mention all the talk about you trying to buy Stern :) :)
Says the guy who agrees to Sponsor the UKPinball show and then dumps
on it after all the free publicity, flyers and show advertising had
been printed and distributed.
Says the guy who spent 3years making inserts, at least thats what most
of the *development* photos show.
No one mentioned nucore but seeing as you did, I for one will be
pleased to see it marketed, hopefully with the hologram of
authenticity "Genuine NOT TPF endorced product". Maybe even a cool
looking animation on POST in 3D!
Ping
Why the hell would anyone spend two seconds of their lives sending him
an email like that?
I don't get it.
Who knows? Perhaps a sign of desperation - his tiny pinball world
falling apart at the seams.
Ping
Maybe his prized dingo ran away.

What in the world could there possibly be about Wayno thet you like or

... except the notion that Wayne is building complete MM pinball machines. Even

Wayne Gillard certainly knows how to burn the bridges down with people
that want to help out with pinball products. After all the threatening
emails from himself or the sales@ about any pinball projects i am
working on. Here is his comments:
http://groups.google.ca/group/rec.games.pinball/browse_thread/thread/767fe2b108c5a04e/14d73c3f8e8a59d0#14d73c3f8e8a59d0
You kick to many people down with your threats, who if you took a more
positive approach might of been there to help you out. You probably
could of been finished building some new pins if you weren't so busy
threatening people. Many different sources could of been ready to
provide the parts for production. But I guess time will tell if we
ever see a pinball factory in Australia.
Your last question has already been answered by the man himself. Yes,
absolutely, we will see a pinball factory in Australia. In fact, it already
exists. It didn't begin when Wayne incorporated under a name that implied he was
a pinball factory, it began when he started taking orders and money on said
product. When the first person sent him a deposit under the promise they would
receive a pinball machine in exchange, like it or not, Wayne became a bonified
pinball machine manufacturer.
Of course, time will tell whether he is remembered as a successful pinball
machine manufacturer or not... :-)
There is a legitimate reason why people aren't hounding Herb or any of the other
people that have boasted they would build and sell complete games. Because those
other guys are doing it the right way, they are building their product and when
it's done they will sell it. Wayne bought the rights, posted a flyer picture on
his web site of something that someone else built 10 years earlier and started
taking money. Hence the formation of an active fan club in his behalf.
Or occasionally post a WTB here and see what might turn up... :)
Actually, no... it is indeed wayne's google profile, meaning it was
posted from wayne's account (which requires wayne's password). Check
the history of the profile. Trolls will have no history (or a history
of trolling.. of course.. well, this IS wayne.. so technically it
is a troll :)
Erm.. Expat has no redeeming qualities either. Birds of a
feather :)

The posts are likely real, since i get the emails both from wayne
himself & sales@ the last couple of years. I am under his orders not
to contact him or his company. So if this was another imagination on
my part, he can post it here. Same with his new lawyers.
Anyone knowingly put TPF products in their machines want to justify
why they buy his stuff
yet tear him to shreds when the thread is right?
How far are people willing to go?
How about an honest head count of those with TPF products in their
pins?
How about all those AFM playfields?
All the plastic sets?
All the decals?
etc,etc,.........
As the owner of 25 WPC machines and the owner
of sys11 and solidstate bally and wms games,
i have ZERO kangaroo parts in my games.
I do have a canadian BK playfield, but it's a mere
wall hanging.
How do i do this? I buy from Pinball Resource!
It's really that simple. If you get it from Steve,
there's a 99.999% chance it did not come thru
wayno. And if you try and buy a part from steve
that is kangaroo based, he will tell you before you
buy it.
It's not hard to avoid wayne. you just gotta be
mindful of it and ask. There are alternatives out
there. You just have to ask.

as far as I know, the only part that Wayne has actually made in his
'Factory' are some coils
he has also said he owns a printing works and a company that makes vac-
formed plastics (ramps)
MOST of his parts are made by the same people that Williams used all
those years ago
those companies are in the USA
Other companies are making stuff under licence from either TPF or IPB
You make your choices and you live with them. It's a matter of
principle. After all... "It's only pinball".

Heh, heh, heh. I guess we need a moderator to verify the ISP of the
sales@ poster. It would be interesting to see how true or fake this
stuff is.
AFM? My AFM is gorgeous. Instead of decals I touched up a pretty nice
original cabinet, had a playfield restored by HEP, paid extra for NOS
plastics and original jiggly martians, found a very nice used lobster
ramp and bought weldments from Kerry Stair.
The down under dolt hasn't received one cent from me. It's possible
that some of the pins I've bought have had his parts but I don't think
so. I also haven't bought from the biggest pusher of TPF parts in CA
for a few years largely because of dufus.
Instead, I restore, pay extra for NOS, wait until something useful
used comes available, make my own, find an underground repro, or do
without. Pinball isn't worth dealing with him and I'm doing my part to
defund the dolt.
The point is that if Wayne is going to make even one cent on it,
I ain't buyin'.
I for one have never had a horse in the TPF race nor have
seen the energy spent on it to be very beneficial.
Don't CPR and other repro companies have to pay a price for doing
certain Bally/Williams titles?
Do any of these companies do business with TPF?
Still, even if one has bought from him it does not preclude one from
detecting that he is on the evolutionary level of pond scum (apparently
swimming alongside Gary Stern if certain accusations are to be believed...),
and on an ethical level all to his own. How low can you go?!?
:0)

Not necessarily. To be a bonafide pinball machine manufacturer you actually
have to build the product. After three years I'd be saying "bonafide con
artist" or "thief", depending upon one's point of view. Mahoff for the win.

Clever, however, the IP address never changes.
Mike
but the question is, do most people even know how to properly read
email headers
for spoofed emails. if you happen to have the same ISP as this wayne
fellow,
it'd be almost impossible to tell.
Consider also the fact that IPs change quite often with some ISPs. With
Comcast, mine changes about 6 times a year. When I had AT&T DSL, it
changed 4 times a month. So just following the IP address doesn't
necessarily help.
Even if the poster had a static IP at work, he could be posting from
home, or a laptop at the coffee shop.
luther
But one can trace the ip to a location (Australia). In any case, all
that post did was confirm to everyone what they already knew or felt or
suspect about him. Nothing new or unexpected.
Sam
Actually, I was wrong.. it looks like it did indeed fake the google
profile (at least in the show profile link - the IP and headers still
show it was you). Shame on Google for not controlling this. So,
check those headers :)

Lessee.....TPF/Wayne post
Metallick,Cody,Lil Miltie,Kenbo,Ron...did I miss anybody???
As far as I can tell:
Williams sold the parts / reproduction business to Illinois Pinball Company.
Williams then sold the rights to make the Williams games to Wayne Gillard
who started The Pinball Factory in Australia.
Stern is not too happy as they figure they will lose business if TPF starts
making pins.
TPF has made nothing, but has taken deposits on MM pins.
There are a lot of people who do not like Wayne Gillard. More info would be
appreciated.
Lots of lawsuits by who against who?
I am guessing that making repro parts for Williams games is now running
afoul of those two companies that have purchased the rights.
Any more useful information or links?
Thanks.
BTW, if the below email is authentic, I am amazed. I have a hard time
believing that anyone could be so stupid to put something like this in
print.
