    I’m a child of the 80’s. I grew up pumping quarters into arcade machines (Donkey King, Ms PAC Man, etc) and playing Atari / Nintendo games most of the day. I’ve always been into games / video games but it was a trip to AZ to visit a relative in 2016 that got me into pinball. He had a Fish Tales and we spent several hours talking, drinking beer, and playing pinball. I was always hesitant to buy one due to the cost and having to do repairs. He let me know that, over time, you can learn to repair most things on a pinball. It was at that point I decided I was going to buy one. In 2017 I bought TAF and taught myself how to work on it. I love learning how things work and how to fix them as well. Pinball has been a good way for the family to hang out and have fun together and I have zero regrets after picking up my 4th pinball machine a few months ago.
