Quoted from PinballFever:

I'm a wanna-be "keep on trucking" LEP man waiting for my first local LEP buy... (I did buy my first pin for $30 many years ago)

Quoted from robertmee:

I braved 45 miles into hillbilly country, spent 30 minutes talking to toothless joe outside his trailer in knee deep weeds at dusk, alternately swatting sweat gnats and mosquitos waiting for his neice to get home with the keys to the shed that housed the game. The game advertised as good condition was a shell of its former self....literally, as the cabinet was rotted away and now held together by 13 rolls of duct tape..not an inch of exposed wood. After wiping off the layer of country road dirt I could see the pf was nicely patinaed. And had all the parts including all the loose ones scattered amongst the rotted rubbers. Never one to shirk from a challenge I declined paying her asking price of $300 took out two twenties and was on my way. The playfield hangs in my garage to this day while the gottlieb board set saved another game.

Quoted from JoeNewberry:

I think maybe I should have bought some heatshrink tubing

Quoted from jjpm:

I'm the definition of the low end pin man.
