Does the thrill ever end??

Well, i recieved a phone call regarding a WMS SKYLAB. I was going to go and get it, then thought otherwise and let it go. Guy rings me again and im off loading it in the van. So i guess my enthusiasm to pick up machines may have waned a little.
But in saying that, i have my wishlist which is quite extensive.
I wanted 50's pins real bad, picked up a few and now i have my refined wishlist for 50's pins. Ive found my "holy grail"of these and they are on their way. Some titles will have to go to make room, so its a refinement of 50's titles.
Then theres the later model pins i havent even started to collect yet,
 So many SS machines i want.

If i had them all, id still be chasing others.
I still get excited with the phone calls,
i still check Ebay every day even though ive never bought one from it.
I never log off this forum.

I have nearly 30 pins now if you include the ones being shipped from USA, some are keepers, some are restore and move on machines.

When i got the SKYLAB home yesterday, i spent ALL evening giving it a clean, new balls, rubbers etc and then a few games to iron out faults - i should have been doing invoicing for my business.
Im itching to get back into it and sort out the little niggles.


Yep - i still get the rush!!!
