Space Sh(i)ttle. Playfield was totally roached. Bought CPR plastics and playfield, did the swaps myself by CUTTING EVERY DAMN WIRE ON THE PLAYFIELD...oops...and resoldering them. Sold to a local guy. He had the cabinet repainted and it won a Best 80's this year at Texas Pinball Festival.

Mine was Capitan Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy in 1995! Sold pop bottles to play that game when I was 11 and it was the first one I owned! Bought from Colorado Game Exchange (long before JJ) when they were on the other side of 6th ave off Federal.
Eight Ball Deluxe.
I played it in Aladdin's Castle at the local mall. Even more at the student center at UofL. And finally at a pub i frequented in my 20's. If I were to ever own a pin, it was gonna be that one.
Went to the Louisville Arcade Expo and fell in love with pinball all over again after a long absence. Started scouring Craigslist and found one in pretty good shape with a few issues.
Fast forward 5 or 6 years and the collection is up to 8.
Funhouse in 93' as the only Christmas present for my 3 young boys (then 8 and twins at 5). I still have FunHouse.
Quoted from mollyspub:The machine bride of pinbot.
+1 BOP, still there telling me to play her.
F-14 Tomcat for $750 CDN ($600 USD) and sold it 4 years later. Regretted the sale the moment it left my house and searched for another over the past many years. I just bought a replacement that is in better shape and it's NEVER leaving the collection!!
Alien Poker for me. A total basket case for a whopping $125. Learned alot fixing and restoring that game. Still in my collection and looking great.
Street fighter 2 in 2010 on my own. High speed from my parent to me and my brothers in the early 90s. My brother still has the high speed. I sold the street fighter.
Tales from the Crypt. I knew I had to have it, and my expectations were exceeded. It's a definite keeper.
