This... the simplest way I reduced complexity and confidently went from one to many pins... Best Pro Machine? Batteries? Best Anti-reflection? Does a pin fit in my XYZ? Useful and low noise access to knowledge.

Have or getting a pin? Find the owners thread, read the prep/repair/tech Key Posts, search ‘pitch’ in the thread and you have a ready made checklist of common things identified for your collection. Bookmark posts to keep your own library.

Follow the mod makers in the Market. Follow the least abrasive and more erudite pinsiders. Add spice/variety here to taste...

Also, you are certain to expand your local network. So start there... Regional for sale threads, local machines and mods in the Market, and if you use the maps on the Machines page to look around you for pins on your wishlist or want to play, you can see what arcades have them, or pinsiders that publicly share what they post or own or want to potentially trade. Follow those local pinsiders too.
