I bet there will be few on here that have zero pins. Before I got my first, I'd occasionally lurk but not having a pin at home, I'd have other things to do. Now that I have 2 plus one I'm storing for my brother, I just can't get enough and it's now really a hobby vs something I just like. Plus, this site is my main way to learn. So Raisindot, don't be afraid of not having the skill to repair one. I bought a JD that has been a PITA since the day I bought it and back then I didn't know how to even open it up. Thanks to this site and somebody I met after I got jD, I've been able to troubleshoot and fix all three machines I have now multiple times. I'll never have more than 3 machines because I simply don't have enough money but I sure would like too
