I solved the problem of tripping over in my garage by adding a extra floor , 2 storey garage.

My shed is plenty big enough 24m x 9m, but i rather have my pins inside, wherein lies the problem not enough room in the rumpus room, I may be able to squeeze in another but not sure if it will block the entrance to the room off, everyone may have to get down on their hands and knees and crawl into the room  #*#

No Interest Whatsover is not strictly true but the closest option.
My wife of 18 years is glad I have a hobby that keeps me at home , but I know I bore her stupid talking about them all the time.
She doesn't begrudge the $$ I spend and appreciates the idea of repairing/restoring these old games .
She plays very occasionally but seems very interested in Lady Luck and I think secretly is looking forward to playing it when its up and running .
As time goes on I think she is slowly getting more interested in them , but will never let me kick her car out of the double garage   !!! (I have half of it for my arcade)  #@#
I need more room ! and more $$$

Pretty much no interest - has had a quick bash on them but doesn't get the appeal of pinball. Oh well. And doesn't really like me spending money on them, either.

back in my first video shop I had  Pinball called Judge Dredd ...  we played this  on friday nights  and  My wife  , well customer at the time started playing it too
so I guess you could say we meet playing pinball .
she still tells me off as I sold the JD we had at home a few years ago .
My wife  runs Pinballspareparts web site    well as much as she can ....  she does all the packing of parts and tells me what to bring home each day for orders
At one stage she used to help strip pinballs too , I guess you could say she has done more work on pinballs than I have
apart from decaling

now all I need is to find a good JD again

she has no interest at all really - she's just happy i'm happy, but all the room i'm taking up in the shed, garage and spare room with this stuff might be getting to her i reckon &&

Peach,

I think it might be time to put your name down on the Sunday Questionnaire - show all these guys how it's done  *%*

Out of interest, have you always been into pinball and played them growing up? What made you want to get into the hobby?

I think it's excellent a woman is involved in the hobby  ^^^

PS: I knew you were a woman  :lol

I have always had a facination with pinball just couldn`t afford it for a long time with ,with 5 sons and a daughter to raise,there was never that much spare money,but the kids are all pretty much grown up now and we do have money in the bank(so to speak).Now we can have a games room instead of a playroom,so what better way to fill it than with pinballs... %$%
