I used to love fixing my games at first. Those days are long gone for me. I prefer to just play them these days.
But yeah im with you.

Yes. what got me into owning my first game was wanting a game that was playing the way it should.
And owning and being able to make them play the way you like them to is Awsome.

No sir. I fix them or I call my tech when I cannot. A game not working mechanically chaps my hide!
Only games I've ever sold are because I wanted something else or in one case was offered more than what I thought the game was worth.
I still help maintain that one, my first game TZ.
Just seen it last week and she is a sweet bird.
Just saying I like them working more than working on them when there not these days.
Please check post #9.
Basic maintance is no big tho.

Here's a pic of my first TZ that I poured over in the beginning of my pinball addiction sitting next to a safe cracker as of last week.
Looks like it will be my joy to help this friend I sold it to years back build a nice little collection soon as well as he is thinking of buying more. Great hobby!
Is that a credit dot on TZ, wait no. Plays so good to.
