I'm finding that I spend more time in this hobby doing 'other things' than playing pinball. Wondering if other Pinsiders are the same?
For me, I'd guess:
35% playing (alone or with friends)
34.9% working/fiddling on my pins
20% on Pinside (reading forums and searching marketplace)
10% buying/selling pins or parts
0.1% shows/tournaments (only made it to York show once)
What about others? What else consumes your time in this hobby?
Quoted from jeffc:I'd answer this but I have no time - I gotta go check craigslist and facebook marketplace for the 100th time today.
...well that helps explain why I've never found a deal on DC CL that's still available.
Quoted from Blackbeard:I enjoy finding a good deal and restoring the pin. Shopping it. Bringing it back to life.
I’m still a novice, but I have to admit that disassembling, stripping, and sanding my getaway cabinet down to bare wood and rebuilding was probably the greatest satisfaction I’ve had with pinball. Wish I had confidence to do more with the playfield...but, I guess, maybe that will come with more time.
