I just picked up my 12th pin last week. I really don't think I can shoehorn any more machines into the space I have. Course, that's what I said when I picked up my 5th machine.
I'm basically shooting for one example of each significant early solid state system type at this point.
They were all projects to varying degrees--some just need a good cleaning, minor mechanical repairs or cosmetic parts replacements; others need varying degrees of electronics repairs in addition to that. One needs some cabinet work since the cheap particle board bottom is falling out. But, most were bargains, and it's hard to pass up a bargain.
So...I've got quite a number of projects that I am slowly working through. It doesn't help that I keep jumping to each new acquisition for a few weeks before fully finishing an older one. But, I've been making good progress and plan on bringing one to sell in the Pintastic free play area.
So, has the pin addition taken over? That's certainly a resounding "yes" from this guy.
