    Just wondering if you ever play a pin in the wild that you have in you collection?

    If not, why not?
    If so, why?

    Quoted from DaveH:

    And I always go into it thinking "I own this game, so I'll nail the GC score"... And it just never works out that way.

    Isn't that the truth. I find that oftentimes machines in the wild are set up to drain more easily.
    At least I like to think that way.

    Quoted from practicalsteve:

    At least once, it will either make me feel better about mine if its in bad shape, or if its in better shape inspire me to work on mine.

    I noticed a nice red handled shooter rod on a TAF the other day and thought that would be a nice upgrade. Amazingly it didn't have the typical playfield damage near the inner right ball drop. On the negative side there was some serious planking going on. I have looked at that pin a number of times over the years, but yesterday was the first time I actually played it. That TAF was also the one that inspired me to upgrade mine with a color DMD.

    At that location I play the Getaway and the No Fear much more that the Addams Family.
