It was the first machine I bought before I got addicted. It was like losing a good friend.
I got a fair price but I still feel like my dog died. Oh, how great she played after a few beers...(sniff). If she wasn't so dam ugly I would have kept her......I could'nt take Arnolds face any longer.
And yes I am addicted, I bought a White Water and it arrives next week.....
Now i'm going to get drunk.
Sorry to hear about your loss wesperron...it gets easier though...hey, have one for me too...or two, whatever. 
I don't think I could do it. But then I don't find Medusa an ugly or annoying machine. You will really like Whitewater. When I have the energy I'm moving the Dancing Lady machine I just got in from the garage and putting out the SWEP1 Pin2000.
I couldn't sell my first one, then I'd have none! (till next week!) I think I'd sell the wife first. I'd have to flip a coin to see if the dog or pinball machine went!
Tomdotcom, that is a great idea...for some reason I had never thought about doing such a thing. Pins don't take up a whole lot of room when you fold them up, Thanx.
I thought I'd never sell a pin, just keep saving and getting a new game every so often....
After realising that 3 pins at a time for ME is reasonable, with playing time/maintenance, money and space permanently getting in the way of that perfect pinball life.
But I suppose if I had endless space, time and money I guess I wouldn't ever stop buying and would never sell, eventually I would be that CRAZY OLD PINBALL GUY who lived in a pinball shaped house.
I have had 6 pins and sold 4, with a gap waiting to be filled right now.
wesperron - the feeling will go away when you replace it with something cool. I had a hard time letting go of Dracula, but TFTC is easing the pain
