    I've had a bunch, but after thinning the herd to most only the great playing Williams games from the 50s and 60s, none that I remember playing as a child, 2019 has been the year of settling for no less than the one that long eluded me.

    Now that I have my Beat The Clock, I am content to finish restoring it and play the others I have. I've had enough to know there are no others to replace them, or others I would rather play.

    Happy junk hunting folks!

    I'm thinking a major reason of a current or coming decline in the EM market is the less people being able to or willing to learn how to service them.

    I think it is almost a must have talent if you want to own one. My history in the auto repair business doing all the electrical work most others did not want to or could not do, made this a relatively simple learning process along with all other eras of solid state.

    For someone without any electrical experience, I imagine looking at all those wires, switches, and relays would be baffling.

    Quoted from phil-lee:

    The cat is out of the bag, so to speak that EM machines are actually simple once you wrap your head around the concept.

    As long as the person has a head that can actually wrap. I'm seeing less and less of that these days.

    Quoted from pinwiztom:

    I feel that the early-mid 60s Williams EMs are still under valued and under appreciated.

    Not in my garage.
