Whirlwind for about 15 years .... around 50 other machines came and went off , WhiWi still in the house. Fair price, much fun, long term fun, nice rules, great sound. Stands for month with no play .. than suddenly I spend several evenings a week on this machine.
TZ ... had one years ago. sold it to buy a LoTR HUO years ago. My wife was really pissed becaus LoTR sound cheap and was boring with the "path of death". Sold the LoTR weeks later and bought again ... a TZ. My wife not often plays pinball, but if she is in the gameroom .. klickkk ... TZ is on ...
My Alvin G.´s ... it costs me years to get 5 machines from Alvin G. it would be stupid to sell them. The heart of my collection even they are not played often. Collecting was the goal.
