Just interested in how many pinball machines people own? I'm interested if anyone can actually stop at just one. 11 here at the moment.

Its an addiction i am trying to shake. But like they say rehab's for quitters, that's why i am trying to drive off into the sunset. 
Ottawa, ON
Five right now. I want to buy one more, but I am still trying to decide if I want to get rid of one to keep it at 5, or just have 6. Maintenance is the big issue for me. I don't want to do it.

18 at the moment , I'm selling one tomorrow do ...but I'm getting two as partial trade so 19 ....damn hobby !!!
Why couldn't I collected cards ....
Villejuif
17 in the past year and only got into the hobby a year ago. 15 currently and all working but one because new ramp is coming for it. If I had more space I'd have more.
Quoted from pinwiztom:though i have only bought one game in past 3-1/2 yrs
That's because there aren't any left that you don't already own.

Got up to 8 at one point and realized its a lot if big boxes taking up too much room and I did not play a third of them. Down to three and could use 2-3 more. For me 6 is a good amount to always play and maintain.
First pin brought in Sept 2013, 2nd in November....Wife said only 2 inside umm...built second games room at back of garage to keep the peace and allow my collection to grow, have two more out there with two more on the way...where will it end who knows!!
I talked to one guy who had a machine for sale who said something that cracked me up: "I'm what you might call a 'double-digit collector', which of course means that I have somewhere between 10 and 99 machines... the reality is probably about 40 or 50."
I'm still a single-digit collector, and I don't see that changing anytime soon, although I have started accelerating the rate at which I've been mixing up the collection.
Here's how many machines based on what people have on their Pinside profile:

Wow, I hope you did that automatically and not manually - well done.
I would like to hear from the single owners - we know one is in the Coast Guard, and has to move frequently. I bet of the 2K or so, most just haven't updated their profile as they are too busy playing and trolling the 'For Sale" section!

Yeah, I used a Python script I wrote the last time a thread like this came up. I figured it would be more accurate than depending on everyone on Pinside responding to this thread. Here's what I get if I use the OP's buckets:
1: 2333 (27%)
2-5: 3514 (41%)
6-10: 1440 (16%)
>10: 1184 (13%)
(% is out of those with at least one machine)
