I actually sold all my machines about two years ago as I ended up realizing there is no such thing as "bolted to the floor" when it comes to pins, as fun as they are eventually they all lose their luster. Ironically I used a tiny percent of that cash to get into astrophotography, a hobby that's known to be expensive but actually quite cheap compared to pins.

One unforeseen side effect for me at least is that I was initially only buying older games as they were cheaper and hence liked them better than the new Sterns, but as prices went up on old stuff I started buying new Sterns more and more to where I actually prefer them to the old games now. Go figure, I guess I just had to give the new games a chance for them to really grow on me, I situation that rising prices on the old stuff basically created.
