Knoxville, TN
I am a 36-year-old who is just rediscovering how fun pinball is. I remember playing the Adams family, X-Files, and the twilight zone when I was younger. I forgot all about how fun pinball was until I started playing pinball FX 2 on my Xbox 360, And then it clicked, I am a pinhead. Once I got the fever from playing a videogame I quickly started looking for any kind of pinball machine that I could find. I had to own one, because that would just be so cool to have one in my house. Little did I know that all you crazy pinheads own at least one probably if not several. I think that's awesome, with pinball being such an expensive hobby I am happy for any of you guys who own more than one machine. I currently have a 1977 star explore home edition that I am getting rid of,and I am still awaiting my first real machine. I will be making a small 3 Hour drive next weekend to pick up my first true arcade pinball, Swords of Fury :-) I can't wait!!!

THANKS for the welcoming. I agree 100% with your comment. I only hope I learn quick how to take care of it. I watch a lot of YouTube and see some great work people have done, but don't know the first thing about shopping a pin. The SOF I'm picking up looks to be in great shape,but I want it to be in top condition like how some of you guys do yours. :)

Welcome to pinside. A pin really shines in a mancave. It's just so cool buying these pins and bringing them back from the dead, just for the fun of playing them and reliving childhood memories!
