I've enjoyed playing pinball machines for 40 years since I was a kid at age 8 and we got our first pinball machine in our home (Sing Along). I still have that machine and it's running as good as it did back then.
Over the years I've added and subtracted various pins to my home collection, and along the way got married and had 5 kids, all of which enjoy playing pinball as well.
My involvement in our downstairs game room is primarily driven by my kids these days. When they get interested (comes in cycles), then I get re-energized to make a change to our inventory or do any necessary repairs/upgrades.
It's been a fun and pleasant hobby for me and my family.
I'm just about to purchase another pin for Christmas, so I might be back asking a few questions if there are any problems I encounter. Thanks for having me as a member of this forum.
