You fill in the blank.

Having a sort of up and down pinball/ pinside experience as of late...negative threads, hype threads, no time to play, games kicking my ass nightly, minor repairs, etc.

THEN....Chris calls last week and says "come pickup your TZ"

Will spare you a million pics (just 3 with a mirrored backglass that cannot be captured w my poor photo skills). We all know how insane his work is.

Suffice to say - my pinball universe is right again now that my TZ has made it back home....

When the hobby goes back to it being more of an "engineer/tinkerer's" hobby/playground and away from the "How many zeroes do I need to put at the end of this check of mine?" mentality.

And that's not a dig at the OP.

Couldn't agree more....thanks.... these were my first 2 machines (TAF first, followed later by TZ) that really started my hobby/ obsession w owning these crazy things.

They have value to me that far exceeds any monetary $$$ that would be attached. Suffice that I rarely bring personal things outside of pinball into the forum, but these 2 are literally inseparable. Pics will never do them justice.

The games being made have enough in them worth the price and creativity.

Yes JJP has brought a lot to pins and tons of stuff in them like a true piece of art but they don’t play fast and great shots like a Stern which hardly has anything in them if you know what I am trying to say.
