I started collecting pins in 2005...I presently have 6 in my collection, including a 1993 Indiana Jones, all pimped out with TASTEFUL mods, a Revenge from Mars, presently with a Star Wars Episode One NOS conversion kit installed, A completely restored 1987 Bally Dungeons and Dragons with a Bill Davis clearcoated NOS playfield, a restored (by me and the wife) 1992 Williams Getaway with new decals, an Alvin G. and Company Mystery Castle, and the latest acquistion, a Bally Safe Cracker, presently being redecaled in my living room...;)
I have an 11 year old son and a 9 year old daughter, they often bring friends to play, most have never even seen a pinball machine! Just tryin' to keep the values alive is all!

It's indeed hard to imagine that the "next generation" have never played or even seen a real pinball machine! So many kids missing out on that great silverball gaming while glued to the couch staring at bigscreen TVs playing the next 3d shooter ;-) You're definately keeping the values alive, -applause- !
