I'm 39. I started collecting and was all about solid state machines from the early 80s. Even though my first machine was a wizard! I thought that was the way to go. After awhile my started to sway towars EM machines. Long story short I sold all my solid states (besides xenon b/c it's part my wife's) and now I have all ems. I really narrowed it down to 60s gottlieb and Williams machines.I love everything about them. I have nine machines and I'm lookin for about five more
