Start buying parts for machines you don't own
Quoted from Wickedquickss:If you have ever had more than one pin in your kitchen...your a pinhead
Just one isn't enough?
if you convince your boss to have the company trucks oil changed at a new place because there is a pizza place across the street that has pins, you are a pinhead.
If you bought your truck primarily to haul machines.
If you put a lean against your truck to buy a pinball machine.
If you search CL, ebay, pinside, pynball, mr.pinball more times a day then you eat.
If you have more than one gameroom and .....
If you can't wait until your kid goes to college so you can have another gameroom.
If you have purchased a second game of the same title then sell the one that is in the worst shape.
If your girlfriend who did not play pins before dating you drops 6.5K on ECWOZ LE.
If you could sell off your pinball collection and payoff your house.
If you still work 40 plus hours a week not to keep up on bills but to keep feeding your pinball habit.
If your want list goes from 20 to 2 to 5 back up to 8. Just stand up and state your name you have a problem.
Babbelman: When your pins have no burned out bulbs, but you drive your car with one headlight...
been there but turnsignal light.
same goes for pinball rubbers and truck tires.
as for the fireplace.... sounds like he is the type that would already have armor, non glare, shaker, subwoofer and low voltage low heat LED's =-) on all his pins. Probably not much heat.
also if you have crossed two borders to get a pin your probably a pinhead
come home from a long trip with a sexy, beautiful woman waiting with open arms and a smile on her face, and pass by her blowing her a kiss on the way to the Man Cave....
Luckily she's forgiving and didn't leave me.
i choosed my last truck (brand new) considering i will buy machines in the future.
i did buy parts for machines i don't own yet.
i always have a half full basket ready from pinball life and others.
i have too much spare parts... and they keep coming in.
thats what i can think of right now...
Quoted from robertmee:When you're driving out of town and checking craigslist for each location you're travelling through....
When you schedule vacation around driving to pick up a pin....
Guilty of both
GUILTY! And sentenced to a life of pindiction.
Quoted from rplante:If you've planned a trip to Vegas JUST to visit the Pinball Hall of Fame ......

I had one of these moments today when I was at the store buying a neoprene knee sleeve...decided to go ahead and get an elbow sleeve for my "pinball elbow" (acts up when I nudge)
If when you build your gameroom you give it two 20amp breakers and plugs spaced every 4 to 5 feet apart...
Quoted from rommy:If you form a corporation so you can write off all pinball related expenses. Especially travel!
Now that's original!

But, I am here on business.
Quoted from ianwho:When you're texting and your phone auto corrects to pin abbreviations
lmfao!!!
Quoted from Drano:Okay, how about a little Friday fun?
I'll start.
If you have ever purchased parts for a machine you don't even own yet.... you may be a PINHEAD!
Guilty
Yes, I didn't finish the deal on my Sopranos (pretty much set though) and was at www.LittleShopOfGames.com store buying parts for it.
Quoted from rommy:If you form a corporation so you can write off all pinball related expenses. Especially travel!
Yup, can lose for 5 years too! Per the IRS before it is called a hobby
Quoted from gweempose:When your wife says "We need to buy more rubbers", and you ask her "Flipper or mini-post"?
