OP
Quoted from DanMarino:

Have any of you guys gone all EM or mostly EM?

I have an appreciation for ALL pinball machines. I believe all true pinballers play/own EMs.

I think there are two main things that hold people back from EM machines.

1. Nick hit it on the head...some people haven't really played finely tuned, fully working EMs. They are challenging, quirky, and satisfy that "one more play" feel...which is literally what they were made to do.

2. People think many EMs are the same. I will admit that there are some that have similarities, but there are also numerous unique and refreshing electromechanical games as well.

I'm not sure what qualifies one as an "EM Pinball Enthusiast," but currently my collection consists of about 1/3 EMs
