    I will be down to one machine come Saturday and picking up one the following weekend. My wife said I could get one more machine. Do I wait for one that I really want and can work on/semi restore? Or just buy one that I like but don’t love to fill the spot and hope to trade/sell when I find the right one?

    Buy four more. To replace the ones gone plus interest.

    Tell wife you can't count. One looks like more.

    LTG : )

    Buy what ever you find cheap - fix it up and enjoy it for a while - sell for a small profit & repeat the process. After doing that a couple dozen times what you have in your collection will be free.

    Being very honest I actually do it more to have a chance to enjoy lots of different machines and you really don't make a ton of money doing things that way but it is fun changing things out every few weeks or months if you don't mind doing the work.

    I vote vacation. Go to Charleston or Savanna and go eat at the best restaurant in town. Take the wife out and live it up

    Same here. My vote is sell the last one and get out while you can.
    If congo is the last one, keep it.

    What is your choice Wackybrakke? Give them to you?

    I will have added the Simpsons to my
    Congo next weekend.

    Everyone seems to want a Congo .... it is a fun machine maybe I should trade it and some cash for a scared stiff?

    The Simpsons, or the Simpsons pinball party. I wouldn’t bother with the first. But TSPP is awesome.

    I’d save for a nice nib when you see one you like.

    TSPP...my grail machine.

    I'd start by buying pair of pants. And then wear them.

    I'd put the cash on a divorce attorney if my wife dictated how many games I could have (just talking big here because my wife won't see it)

    My wife doesn’t like me..... gotta keep it clean.

    Yes my wife said I could get more but I have to finish a couple of house things. But right now I have the option of one more.

    Anyone have a WH2O that needs some work for a decent price?
