Martin Ayub – Pinballnews

Martin Ayub is the publisher of Pinball News.
Pinballnews.com

He founded Pinball News in late 1999. The platform evolved from his personal website, which previously mainly featured reports about pinball and trade shows. The catalyst for the change was the closure of Williams’ pinball division in November 1999. When that announcement came, it was said that pinball was dead, done, and buried – and he disagreed.
