Upping my game(s)

I guess my interest for pinball machines was raised when as little boy, a friend of mine got a pinball machine in his room for some time (Bally Kiss). I could not get over how cool it would be to have one of those for myself! Many years later when I moved into my own apartment, the time was finally there when I stumbled upon a Gottlieb Victory for sale in the classifieds. From there, looking for parts, I found more sources for pinball machines and I started hoarding. It was the time decent machines could be found for sub €1000 prices, my first TZ I got for €400 (roughly $450). To keep the hobby affordable, I focused on the underdogs in the beginning, so many Sega's passed through my place. Gave the hobby a rest for about 10 years (due to low WAF) but started collecting again two years ago. At the moment, I have room for 6 to 7 pinball machines, so sometimes titles have to make place for new or better ones. The last year I have been busy restoring a Bride of Pinbot, replacing the playfield and converting her to 2.0. Just fired it up last week and boy was that exciting to see it come back to life and play it for the first time since more than a year.
