Louisville, KY
Hi guys!
Was jus watching a review of wcs94, and the guy doing the vid said that he had sentimental value for this particular machine b/c he and his father actually went to the World Cup in 94’! He even had the program/ticket stubs framed, and mounted above his pin.
I thought that was pretty neat, and got me thinking what machine, if any, am i sentimental over...?
Personally, it would have to be Bride of Pinbot. I played it for the first time at Zanzabar (local barcade), and fell in love with pinball. After some internal struggle, i sold off my old video game collection, and some other collectibles while i patiently waited for a BOP to hit the market.
Eventually, after a few months, a guy had one nearby and i scooped it up for $2800.
I probably over payed a little, but it fully worked and just needed some tlc.
I took it home, and got to work cleaning, then replacing parts, then swapping to leds, then modding the ever living shit out of it... i was obsessed with making it the best.
This machine is bolted to my floor.... never leaving the basement!....I said.
But as in most things, you grow tired of them, and you look for a new toy.
I eventually traded it for a WH2o...great deal, but i do miss my bride every now and then.
So whats your story?
I would love to hear it!
