Welcome to the addiction!! Spirit of '76 is a great game, the "designer" Wayne Neyens turned 103 in July! He's a super nice guy and loves pinball! I restored ours soon after we got it and took it to Pinball Expo in Chicago in 2009, Wayne signed it for me and also made a special circuit that we installed on it to play a joke on a friend from Australia!!
LOL!! up to 3...Great start we had a similar start ('01) back when we started in this crazy hobby!! We started with Space Shuttle which was a game we had played while dating ('84), then we picked up a Black Knight, then a Sorcerer. Then we picked up a 2nd Space Shuttle because we also had the restoration bug and we didn't want to be down 1 pin while we restored it! I've restored 100's now and we're up to 65 pins and we've remodeled and added on to be able to have more up in our house.
We have lots of Williams early solid state (SS) games and love them. At 1 point we had all the system 7 pins, all the system 9 pins and all the system 6 pins as well as like 8 system 11's...we have since paired it down by a few but still have most of the system 7s and they're super fun games! We also have several newer Sterns and some EM's. We find variety is the spice of pinball!!
We have a local pinball group Cincy Pinball and we started a Cincy Pinball League in 2013, we have 32 people playing with folks waiting to play if someone doesn't return for the next season. We also have a yearly Summer tourney here at our house (we had our 6th annual 1 back in June) so we're deep into it!! LOL!!
Welcome!! and start planning where the next ones will go now so when they "appear" you won't have to rush to fit them in when you bring them home!
Enjoy and Good Flippin'!!
