    I'm 56 and played a lot during the summers when I was in my teens. This year I found it again and instantly bought a Getaway and then a NIB ST Premium. I've played over 300 games in the 12 weeks since I bought these. I've also started visiting the Tarpon Springs Amusement Museum on the weekends to play more variety. My wife and daughter absolutely hate the noise so I have to be careful when I play. They don't argue when I go to the "arcade" on the weekends 'cause my pins are silent when I'm gone. I've completely modded the ST with almost all of the suggested upgrades and fixes and also added some of the suggested lighting mods to the Getaway. Unfortunately I had to sell the Getaway to make room for the ST, and miss it dearly. I've learned SO much about pins and love them! I'm considering moving us to a new house where I can have a dedicated game room to keep everyone happy (and hopefully get another Getaway and maybe a TSPP and LOTR to keep them company).
    But I don't have a problem. Really. I don't.
