    ***********************************

    This thread is for anyone who, like me, is trying to get motivated to get organized. By starting a couple restoration threads on Pinside I did better at staying on task and completing things more efficiently. Now I want to find a place to talk about getting organized, getting more machines fixed and still maintain my sanity. Some people might start taking medication for this; I shall start a thread. This will apply to some games I don't care to start a dedicated thread on.

    Here I can keep myself accountable and you can follow along or even join in with your struggles or progress. I want this thread to be free flowing which is why it's in the O/T forum of Pinside.

    I'm not here to show off/up anyone and their collection or brag about how many standard size coil sleeves I have. Believe me I have several....bags...of them.

    I might even share some stories about the days I fixed, and sold pinballs for a living to pay my way through college.

    Little Johnny has volunteered to spread some upvotes around so we'll let him have the run the place if he wants.

    When I started this thread about a year ago I had a list of projects to tackle. As I fix one machine somehow two follow me home. At this point the collection is approaching 120 machines and have lost count.

    Glad you are keeping me honest. Innards of the cabinet is almost done. I dropped the unshopped playfield in the other night. Might shop it out this weekend

    I kinda miss my Atlantis, but after we downsized I didn't really have room and something had to go. My wife wouldn't go for a game in the dining room or one of the bedrooms. Haha

    Very nice setup! I so need to get my stuff organized like that. Untold thousands of dollars of pin parts in unlabeled boxes here, and it's getting to be a real pain. Here's to hoping that your post gets me motivated!

    It's overwhelming how much I have to work on when you look at it all on a screen.

    I am not soft, I do not get my feelings hurt, so insult me if you want, and you still get a THUMBS UP!

    So, while ago we (Me and the girlfriend) watched a M. Night Shyamalan movie called "Old".

    I thought it was very good. I love his movies.

    With the twist at the end of "The Village", I knew this movie had to also have some awesome twist at the end also, and it did not disappoint!

    Is it on Netflix or Prime?

    I know I could google it. Don't want to get in trouble if I said that in the TV show thread.

    I have found that with a really good antenna, there is plenty of free TV available, and some of those channels are all movies, no, not the latest, but FREE, and I LOVE FREE!

    You don't even need an antenna anymore. If you have internet Samsung throws a whole free digital package together for you.

    They have a lot of 24/7 channels some that rotate. One plays 007 movies, another is constant Joy of Painting.
