I see pretty new shiney things and I order them. New pinball machines. Parts for pinball machines I might refurbish some day. Playfields. My god the Playfields. So many playfields. Toppers <3, PDI glass in everything. Titan rubbers till your eyes explode. Led lights. Boards to make the leds better. Interactive back glass led boards. Colord DMDs! Coils! Plungers! Parts everywhere. Plastics sets, sometimes more than one set just because I love the game. I horde parts, a lot. Am I a pinball junkie? Are you?

You sound more like an "I have money so I must spend it!" junkie to me.

Unfortunately theres quite a few of us pinsiders that fit the bill.

However if your thing is crack and you got the money to spend on it you're probably no lesser of a junkie than the local street fiend always looking for a hit.

With that said. Yes, you are and admitting that you have a problem is the first step to recovery, but you must want it. I don't think any of us want to be cured though.

Good description of my pinball behavior!

I have zero colour dmd’s, if you have too many colour dmd’s, I will allow you to send me colour dmd’s for my non-colour dmd pinball machines please.

If you have to ask, then YES. How I SO want to be one too.

You’ve come to the wrong place if you’re looking for a support group.

Unless you want us to encourage you to continue your habit.

Raising my hand slowly in the back of the room so my wife does not notice!!!
I am limited to 3 in the house at 1 time. I only have enough room to restore 1 at a time in the garage. But hey, my buddy has a big house!

For the time being you are. I'm 15 years into the hobby and still feel today as I did back then when I get a new machine.
