    Who has ever had another separate collecting hobby other than pinball that pairs well with it? Here is mine.

    Oh Jesus.. my best friends mom had one when I was in high school so thats the car we rode around in terrorizing the neighborhood.

    It had an alarm in it that sounded like an ambulance siren so we would go around blasting that at people.

    Im going to guess it was a late 70s model and we trashed that thing. Fun car.

    I can't say pinball is my hobby. And model railroading used to be.

    So please put me down for two different interests.

    One thing that I collect more of then pinball is signs, signs and more signs..... I have many awaiting wall space but that could change soon. And they do go good with the pinballs and the cars too of course.

    My other hobbies are sports car collecting and vintage & ham radio.
    Similar in that I spend almost as much time fixing as using them!

    How about something like a poster display rack that you can flip through?

    Music and pinball for me.

    Have gotten more into synths recently, and used a Prophet~10 to make the audio track for the Stranger Things teaser clip I made. My own arrangement, but inspired by the Stranger Things theme.

    Bit of another hobby slipped into that photo with the Freddy gear, which paired better when I had that pin (EDIT: added the old Freddy pic)

    I'll pass on that one, but thanks anyways. All my posters go into frames and up on the walls.

    I collect contemporary art and artist monographs you might think that doesn't connect well with pinball and you'd be correct.
    BUT there are a number of exceptions to that rule and I've been slowly working on a blog post on the interconnections between the fine art world and pinball machines.
    Coming soon.

    My vacation planning always consists of determining which art galleries and museums and pinball arcades i want to visit in any city. Fine, and whatever else my family wants to do
