Thanks to the NFSA's acquisition of five unique Australian-made machines, pinball is making a comeback. Back in the day, in milk bars, fish 'n chip shops, arcades and caravan parks, you would find pinball machines. Around the country, teenagers would empty the household supply of 10 and 20 cent coins to be part of the fun.
