If you feel like you can’t get into older pins, I highly recommend going to Pinburgh. Playing an EM or SS pin competitively gives me an adrenaline rush. I fell in love with Sound Stage, Argosy and Triple Action at Pinburgh. I just finished restoring an OXO and it’s plenty fast - I had to move it off of high-tap so the game didn’t play itself.

I’ve gotten into a groove where I only play EM and SS pins during my workday breaks. Then when 5:00 comes, I crack a beer and settle into a nice long game of JP or AS or GOTLE. They’re all great. I feel sorry for people who can’t enjoy all eras of pinball. That said, I love visiting large collections with no DMDs. I can get my DMD fix on location; SS and EM are much harder to find in good shape.
