Around 2007, a family friend of my parents let slip to them he had a side business fixing and selling pinballs, and mentioned he had a DW. It had always been a bucket list item for me (though I knew nothing about pins at the time, other than a Travel Time my dad had growing up)) and he assured me he was "giving us a great deal". Though I LOVE my pins and I'm really happy that that machine got me into this hobby, gave me a ton of enjoyment rebuilding and modding that routed, hacked to heck, tired old mare, years later I'm still wondering WTF I thought this was a good idea.

How much was the great deal? $5K.
