Well, its just pinball. The older 70's to early 90's games are very entertaining, costs much less and give the owner a chance to restore/upgrade them as wished. Many of the older EM pins are great fun to play too. Getting caught up in the 'I've got to have the latest pin' or a high end resto on a newer pin in my opinion will cause some second guessing about the hobby and the money one has spent on it. Its just pinball and the older pins have a great benefit, the ball is most always in play meaning you don't have to stop your gameplay to watch a DMD show. John
