I thought it was a blast to have a pin, but I sold it within about 6 months. After acquiring other pins, I found them to be more fun and I was the only one playing Kick Off once a day to keep it limber. It had a strange and frustrating separated double flipper arrangement, combined with an odd outlane setup. I don’t miss it.
Jurassic Park (DE) - I do not still have it. I bought another one at one point, but I don't have that one anymore either.
Still have my first pin which is a Harlem Globetrotters that I bought on August 10th, 1996 at a garage sale for $200. The lady wouldn't take any less for it because she claimed it was going to be a "collectors item"....LOL.....I just laughed and handed her the $200 and thought to myself, "who in the world collects pinball machines?"....

Quoted from noitbe1:TOTAN was my first pin. Sold it without regrets and bought an AFM. After a while I regret it though and thought that it deserve a better software so I’ve bought a second TOTAN only for that. Working on it.
Now that’s a good story good luck on it
Quoted from Pinmeister:MB. Only place it will ever go to is HEP.
Feel the exact same way about my T2
1977 Stern “Pinball”. I remember unboxing it but strangely, I don’t remember whatever happened to it. It wasn’t a collectible then, it was just business. Sorry it’s gone though.
First was F-14, paid $800. Learned a lot and restored it. Sold it for $2000. Dont miss it, but it was a fun game.
Quoted from Quadrat:Star Wars DE got it around 25 years ago. Still have it at Mom & Dad gameroom.
I was close on that one .Made plans to drive up north then I guy got back to me on EHOH LE tgat he had sold but had others .I was looking for arcade games rechearching when I saw the trailer for WOZ.I remembered that as the moment I was hooked .Drove further north and picked her up .
Blackout and yes. Great first pin to learn to work on, and I love the classic 80's Williams sounds/speech.
Space Shuttle was the first, sold long ago. I've owned 3 over the years its a fun pin to play but I don't miss owning one.
Quoted from fabsj82:Speak Easy. Recently started regretting getting rid of it. May be buying back from guy I sold it to.

Damn that’s a sweet looking machine .
William's travel time was my first in 2003. It was a freebie a coworker gave me. The sad thing is he had 2 pins told me I could have both. They both needed cleaned up and minor repairs. I only took one! Figured I only needed one! Fast forward 17 years I have 16 games but Travel Time is long gone. Miss it sometimes.

Quoted from GeekedOnPinball:No Fear and my wife is pushing me to sell to make room for another game. I’m torn.
