I recently sold a Top Ten EM pin to an old guy in TX. It was his childhood memory (so many of those here!), and he had been looking for one for years. I sold it to him for less than what I had into it to help with the shipping from IL, partially shopped (just the easy stuff. I'm still learning on EMs and hadn't gotten to the reel restorations, etc. yet.) He was an extremely polite gentleman, with no pinball experience or repair knowledge.» Read moreHe knew it wasn't starting a game (credit reel wouldn't reset due to steppers, etc. needing reconditioning), and wanted it (it was in great condition). So I reached out to Pinside to see if someone in his area could come out for a charge and help get it running for him.
Colin responded with an offer, and I connected the two.
The Old Guy got back to me this week and let me know that Colin came out twice, taking a stepper with him each time (main, then backbox I believe). After the second visit I am told it is running, and the guy is ecstatic. I feel like we made his year, and to boot he told me he had to beg Colin to take any money for it. A true hobby lover in his words.
Thanks Colin for helping me make a Merry Christmas for a stranger. I love connecting people in this hobby, and helping others has been one of the greatest rewards for me. I couldn't do it without the guys who have been doing it forever, like you.

“Mike,
Those are some really nice words. I was more then happy to get Charlie’s machine up and running. I haven’t worked on a Chicago Coins game since the early seventies, so it took longer then I planed. All good in the end though. Charlie’s 1st machine. That’s all it takes lol
Again Mike, thank you for your kind words.”
