I'm lucky to have a companion who likes pinball too.
No begging to stretch the budget for a new purchase here! I just take her along when I go look at a prospect.
Then, I have a rational, grounded mind with which to exchange feedback - she helps keep my enthusiasm (foolishness) in check and supports spending money where it counts.
The pinballs also enjoy a prominent space inside the home - as opposed to the garage/storage area game rooms I've seen.
I love my sweetheart. She's the best.
Now to get to work on that strip pinball idea I read about somewhere.
