The FPPB.com<\/strong> site was written many years ago using the (then current) Adobe tools. The graphic art and original site design was all Phil Butcher\u2019s. <\/strong>We did technical documentation by confirming the information against real machines and I have updated many of the circuit diagrams in Adobe Illustrator as mistakes were found. I lived and worked in London, UK for nearly 35 years when we collaborated. I\u2019m now retired and living in central California. More recently, I designed this WordPress Menu and Layout which allows access to the most important site content on all modern devices. Phil works as a Graphic Artist (he is really good with all types of Media) and lives in Exeter, Southern UK. As far as I know, he’s no longer “into the pinball scene”<\/strong> and has sold his collection. He does continue to collect, but they are smaller items.<\/p>\nRichard<\/strong>

Richard’s Hobbies: I enjoy poker, electronics, old computers, welding and auto body refinishing. I studied pure maths and digital electronics in college, but find practical learning to be more interesting now like documenting the original designs of Firepower. I collect, restore and modify pinball games. I also collect,, restore and modify Datsun 240Z cars. My current collection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
