I currently do all of the above.
I have rented out my machines to only trustworthy people (friends of friends for example) to minimise the risks and avoid the need for insurance.
When trust is established and they agree to my terms and conditions, a lease contract is signed and both parties have a copy.
The prices are very reasonable. The longer an individual leases the machine, the cheaper it becomes. My price guide is as follows for a 90's DMD of standard cab width.
$25 per week for 4 months
$30 per week for 3 months
$35 per week for 2 months
I only offer my most reliable machines and steer them towards a GTB sys 3, that way I know the machine is up to the task without higher risks of reliability concerns from an EM machine for instance.
Good way of getting pinball into a home environment for people to talk about and enjoy. The costs cover the transportation to and from, setting up time and additional parts. Just something I have done on the side on a few occasions.
