I have 7 pinnies and only 1 playable right now .
2 are projects stored away, a 3rd is restored, but stored away .
Of the 4 setup ,
a) Creature playfield is currently stripped down for a major clean ,
b) Gulf Stream (restored and playable) is currently being used as a workbench for Creature playfield parts
c) Thoro Bred is still undergoing an overhaul/rebuild so is not playable which leaves
d) Firepower as my only playable pinball .
So.. just wondered how many pins you have setup and playable right now ?
-
I have 11 setup and playable
-
two out of about 20
-
2 pinballs out of approx 12
2 gun games out of 2 gun games ( a rare 100% working)
1 arcade out of 2 arcades
1 peepshow out of 1 peepshow.. may i never tire of renewing the filth in this machine

Hahaha - I must plan a trip to Bris just so I can have a "look" at this very collectable piece #@#
-
Paragon is playable.
I promised myself to have at least one of MY personal collection restored each year. Might be my Black Hole or Viking. I still love working on games more than playing them.
-
3 out of 5 working, I hope it will be 4 in the next month or so. Then I am going to attempt my first full resto on a EM Gottlieb Kingpin.
-
i think i have about 28 pins set up working.pluss 12 fixers.
-
Ten set up, 8 playable - AFM is getting Eltimbo treatment at the moment, and Pinball Magic playfield is sitting in front of me waiting for me to get motivated for the playfield swap.
I hate when my games aren't playable, I get obsessed until fixed and running.

One out of six not working, which is my Zaccaria Time Machine, it is giving me the shits, i must have another go at fault finding the CPU.

LOl- Zaccaria logic will do your head in.... the logic is all interlinked .. dont give up though, youll get there eventually unless of course youve had acid damage, in which case just do yourself a favour and buy a Homepin replacement
-
all 8 playable and get played at least one game a week each
-
3 out of 4 for me up and running
IM is 100%
Creech will be going in for a restore someday is running but needs some love
Baywatch will be going in for a minor shop but playable - but has sponge bits behind target switches and lots of broken plastics and just needs a polish and a few mods
Surf Champ, partially stripped and will be getting a cabinet restore and general shop (not playable at the moment)

All are playable except Pinball Pool which is in pieces, waiting to be finished.. the cab has been sitting there ready for stenciling for the last almost 12 months ^&^
Or should i say they are playable but i have to move the crap that's stacked on a few of them in order to play them :lol
A few others are in the resto queue but are set up until i get to them;
Stellar wars.. pf resto
Cosmic Princess.. full resto
Black Pyramid.. pf resto
and Hot Hand.. full resto
All the above work but have minor issues that will be dealt with come resto time *%*
-
I have 5 playable and 2 awaiting some love. Jungle lord needs new boards and a new coil everything else is done and Selen Cup needs the second playfield to be rewired.
-
5 out of 6 at the moment, thanks to the PPCR crew. GI, DD, SS, HH and whatever the acronym for Monopoly is !@#
1 x EM ( 2001 ) getting restored by me @@*
and 1 x EM ( Surf Champ ) getting restored for me and can't wait, come on NINO %.%
Life is good $#$

Pinball Pool, it looks like an interesting machine. What's it like as a player when all working?
-
Everyone of my machines work. When i start pulling apart Phoenix - 1978, it will be the only one getting restore treatment.
Doesnt mean to say I wont look at some resto work on some others n add some bling etc down the track.
-
17 out of 19 playable.
Centaur II and High Seas are stripped apart undergoing restorations.

A lot of people rate it as one of the better sys1 Gtbs. I really like how when you hit one drop target on one side, the corresponding target on the opposite side drops automatically.. really cool game *%*
Looks like i might be getting a break from doing pin restores for other people soon, so i might actually get a chance to start working on it again!!
-
3 out of 3 Pinballs playable
0 out of 2 Gun Games playable
0 out of 1 Driving Cab playable
2 out of 5 Arcade cabs playable
Hmmm, maybe i should stick to pinball...... %.%

Thanks for the feedback. I'm a big fan of the Gtb system 1 machines, never met one I haven't liked!
-
Four out of the five are playable and at least one of them gets played every day.
One of them doesn't need any work (excluding some TLC), whereas the others all need a little bit of resto to varying degrees.
-
87% working 100% for me. The remaining 13% are playable but have issues.
It bugs the crap out of me having non working machines sitting around.
-
Thanks for the feedback. I'm a big fan of the Gtb system 1 machines, never met one I haven't liked!
I am guessing you haven't met Dragon yet then!!
There are some really top games -
Joker Poker
Countdown
Asteroid Annie
Pinball Pool
Sinbad
Genie
But it drops off a bit after that in my opinion.

No haven't met Dragon yet Nick. There's one in every family though isn't there %.%
For a simple looking game your old Asteroid Annie is awesome. She's a real looker too which never hurts. I even enjoy Hulk which I've heard some find difficult to get into. I'd love a Buck Rodgers one day too. Purely for the theme and looks but that's half the magic isn't it. In my opinion the most stunning is Genie though. I've only played this one on the iPad but very much look forward to playing the real thing.

Trouble is i went through the board and cleaned the acid damage, the game worked great for months, then i went to play it one day and it wouldnt boot
-
11 out of 11 working and playable.
As of right now all are 100% but of course this can change at any moment. :)
White Water will be in pieces soon though.
-
Very impressive to see so many collectors with 80% or more of their games setup and playable. ^^^ Good to hear .
Seems like I need to pull my finger out as the best I can usually manage is around 60% *%*.
Of course it depends on age/era of your machines, whether you bought them as project games, whether you have room to have them all setup etc etc .
-
Out of my collection of 1 machine, i can safely say i have a 100% working rate $#$
-
All of them, some bulbs out here and there, but all up and running
-
All 3 of mine are playable... However since adding the candle mod to my SS I've noticed a burning smell if I play for more than about 10 mins... :-(
-
Ha ha, with my latest haul plus a few yet to be to touched possum pins I have 5 out of 32 working....
-
Ten out of ten wedgeheads all set up and running.Ranging from 1962 till 1976
-

-
All seven of my pinballs are set up and playable, PZ was out of action for a couple of weeks with power problems but is back up and working.
-
All 5 of mine are playable although still have 3 in storage until their new room is built
-
None now... just a pile in the shed
-
All five are 100% working..........Today anyway.
-
My seven are all working perfectly at the moment. I don't sleep properly if one has an issue.

But have no problem ignoring my AA PM's for payment #@#
70% of mine are running, the rest need restoring/parts/servicing.
It's quite difficult trying to maintain a small group of machines. Hats off to those who can.

well done guys keeping all the pins working, my 4 are all going, continually doing small tweeks, ()
