What keeps me in is my love for the game and what the next pin might be. Since a kid I couldn't keep my little fingerprints all over em. When shopping with my parents as a kid in the 70s you were always reminded not to lean on the glass displays. Pinball glass was the 1st glass I was allowed to touch without reprimand. When I started I used to love to swap in titles all the time but as the years go by the collection starts to become all of your favorites.
If it wasn't for all of you here at Pinside I probably would have left already from frustration. It's great putting faces to names at shows and making friends. It's a fantastic feeling when you get her up and running again but sometimes things just don't make sense and you need someones help. Thank you all for your help and entertainment in between.
