No doubt Donal Murphy, he was the coil winder for all

I had a copy of the DVD spoken of. Donal had (i believe)
a copy of each gottlieb one player EM woodrails in
his collection, and a number of wedgeheads. This was
documented on his DVD. it was not a great video production
by any means, but it gave you an idea of what he had.
Unfortunately Donal passed away a few years ago...
he was cleaning his gutters and fell off the ladder.
(I am reminded of him when i see those gutter-guard
ads on TV!)
I have no idea what happened to his collection. I do
own a couple wedgeheads that were Donals. Bought
those from a Chicago guy a few month ago. But i
think he bought them from Donal probably 10 or 15
years ago.

I knew Donal, saw his collection when I was picking up sooped up
Gott flipper coils Green with a yellow mark on them.
I have one of Donal's machines myself. Along with a hand signed letter of sale for my Centigrade 37. I spoke with him once on the phone and he was such a kind and generous man in helping me with finding a backglass I was looking for. He invited me to
see his barn collection if I was ever back in the area. He touched the lives of many a pinball enthusiast as I have found in my conversations with several older collectors here in the Denver area. My C37 now has an even more special meaning to me.
