I'm trying to not get the bug too bad yet (my Wife still loves me).....but apparently the above machine is available for what I think (?) is an amazing price. Haven't seen it yet, but just described as "collecting dust and ignored" to me. I have a TZ, SM, and TAF which I anticipate keeping for a long, long time and are mint (playing wise). I know this machine is a different league, but do you think it would be a fun enough project, and potentially keep my interest long enough to hang on to for at least a little while (or just a cash suck, and I won't like it)? I already have a major full time job, and don't see me getting into this for profit anytime soon, but sold my H1 Hummer (which I blame on the Pins) and a now pretty empty garage...thoughts?....thanks....mark

done.........thanks guys..I'm officially hooked........will take pics when i pick it up........

empty garage.....new 200a service panel w/ lots of room....this could get ugly......

No, just a casual comment from an employee... she does some of my in house accounting, and asked me today how to classify my Paypal purchases ( oops)... I told her I was into pinball, and she told me her dad had this in his garage collecting dust if I wanted it...just shows...never hurts to mention your hobby once in awhile, maybe lots of this stuff floating around where you never think about it

good point......just don't want to start collecting to turn at this point. I read some of the reviews and saw e-bay prices (can be very skewed)..just never played one, and had no clue if it was an amazing price or a dog...I know what my other ones are worth...to me anyway.....

I'll have to go back and see which one of you warned me to" run away fast" when I bought my first one... does this mean they are going to eventually invade my entire house? Hopefully there's a pin therapy group out there..freakin addictive...

Awesome!!!

I haven't even seen it yet

Agree and understood.. will seal this one in the morning...I'm officially excited now...

Yeah, I had it 6 years and 10mpg was going downhill.. I loved it, but at the end of the day, it was mint and I would only drive it once a month just to keep everything lubricated... just didn't make sense, and was worried something expensive would break... ended up selling it for more than I paid for it... guy flew in from freak in Mongolia via LAX to check it out...I'll miss it, but the pin hobby really is a better fit for my toy hobby

I didn't drive it long enough to warm anything...ha

Pin should be fine purchase wise.. thanks for the advise.. I actually find a lot of useful info and insight from guys that have been in it alot longer than me...
