LOL is this like AA for Pinball or what...Hi my name is Phoebe and I'm a Pinball addict!! 
I am going to copy and paste my post from the Male/Female thread... but will add, Hubby is not on Pinside, he checks it out sometimes under my name. 
We met in a bowling alley arcade (going on 30 years now) playing...you all guessed it pinball! Our first game when we got our "bigger" (at this point it is not really "bigger" enough!) 
house was Space Shuttle which was what we played when dating, that was also the first pin I restored...You can read my story in my info page on here. 
We have 2 boys 28 and 23, they like pinball to a point, and they both have their games that they will get when we are gone...
Here's my post from the other thread...
LOL!! Nother female checking in! I don't post on here much...I used to post quite a bit on RGP but haven't been very active over there either! I too am pretty much the culprit, but hubby loves pinball too! It is funny though that most of the guys on here are like...my wife won't let me have XXXX because it would have to go in XXXX room...LOL!! I'm the one that told hubby we needed to loose the dinning room furniture (about 4 years ago) and put it in storage so we could make the dinning room the Williams system 11 room. Now we have them in just about everyroom,and always trying to figure out which walls doors etc. to move to fit more. Getting ready to remodel and make another game room. (would like to win the lottery first but otherwise we are working on it!!) But he is the one usually telling me NO More pins!!! we are out of space and $$$! My philosophy is there is always room for just 1 more!!! LOL!! I previously did restorations for myself and others starting in 2001, touching up clearing PFs touching up BGs and cabinets. I do mechanical stuff, but that was hubbys department mostly. I did the touch ups and he made them work. I just (temporarily maybe) retired from doing them for others...and got (as hubby calls it) a "real" job!
We both play in 2 leagues and tournaments together, and we have a local pinball group started in 2007 (Cincy Pinball) with about 50 or so members...with quite a few females. We just recently started The Cincy Pinball League we have 30 people in the league, and 5 of us are females! We just finished up our first full season! We travel with our trailer and pins to several shows including The Pinball Expo in Chicago coming up in Oct. Have met many friends through pinball and will continue to enjoy it together!!

I have been every year since '06 and this is the 30th year for it, so it is gonna be awesome! Hubby and I take games every year...and I usually help out with at least 1 seminar. It is a great time to catch up with friends you only get to see once a year!
Along with that, we both play in a pinball league, (we were in 2 different ones but had to drop1 due to work) but we compete at tournaments (against others, but always trying to best the other!) and such whenever we get the chance! 
I convinced hubby to get rid of dinning and living room furniture to put pins in those rooms along with the basement. The garage is my workshop, complete with paint booth...and has been since 2001/2002 (disclaimer paint booth is down ATM) but frame is still there! 
LOL!! JK but he is the one that has to tell me NO more often than not....except I did get 1 new toy at the KY SCS Championship...I brought home a red cab. Jungle Lord been wanting one for awhile and finally worked a deal for it. He was actually excited about it too!! So see guys it is debated if having your girl "into" pinball is a good thing or not...LOL He tells our friends sometimes, that they should be careful what they wish for, their house could end up looking like ours with pins in the living, dining, family room, entry hall, basement, garage, and some in storage!
