I'm about 2 days away from bring my first pin into my home, a DW and I'm so excited even though in the last year or so I've been playing a lot at other's homes and at league meets which got me wondering how other peoples' experiences of bringing their first pin home were, being able to play in private, in comfort, under the influence of whatever and whenever you pleased. Wake up at 5am with a strange itch to scratch? Have a few games in your slippers and dressing gown then back to bed!

I'd be really interested to hear stories of Pinsiders' first home pinball experiences.

I have found if you buy the pinball first then you HAVE to make room.

Weirdly I'm looking forward it breaking down a bit and really getting under the hood as it were. Of course in my imagination I fix the problems with the minimum of fuss and I guess it won't always happen that way.

I probably need to buy a few key tools actually. Maybe some cleaning solution, wax - stuff like that. What's recommended for a DW?

Picking up tomorrow morning!
