Hi, i played my Ghostbusters Pro now for 5 months and its an aweosome game.
But recently it started to get boring quite fast.
I also have a second pin from Williams "Fire" which is not nearly as cool, and its getting dusty.

I want to get a Jurassic Park Premium, but i started to think about how long it will catch my attention
and if i better should buy 2 cheaper Stern pins for the money. The thing is that JP really appeals to me.

I'm curios in your how you manage your pin collection to keep the hobby and machines interesting.
How much do i need, where will all this lead to?

Haha you guys... so to sum it up: always +1, veriety, and themes.
I have room for 3-4 pins. Since I'm alone with my pins and the internet,
I have to ask those questions. The next Pinball museum nearby just closed
and i do not know any pinheads. Somehow I'm the onlyone who loves pinball,
family and friends got bored really quick... not even wanted to practice post
passes or any of the rules. If I could excite them, maybe I would go deeper
into the hobby.

So you would recommend buying 2 older sterns instead of one new JP premium,
because +1 weights then the theme? Also prices here are more then in the US
(9300$ for JP premium) and I'm not rich.

Thats nice to hear since theme and quality is also very important for me.
I tried alot of machines which i didnt like because of the theme.

But on the other hand, for about 10.000 $ I'm sure i could get 2 good HUO pins.
Star Trek Pro would be one of those... but finding used machines here is also a pain,
so i guess it will be the JP Premium.

I'm also curious in another aspect regarding "keep pinball and pins interesting".
What I found on this forum and papa.org helped alot:

-Change flipper rubbers to a softer or harder type
-Widen or tighten the outlanes
-Tighten or loosen the tilt
-Change the slingshot sensitivity
-Reduce or raise the game’s pitch
-Clean and wax a dirty game
-Adjust the level slightly
-Read in the Forums and watch streams

so focusing on practicing skills and not the game opens up a whole new world.
I feel like i need a duty to keep it interesting, what about you?
