Yep, I'm the king of buying new stuff....just ask RTBB!
I don't think there's been a week for the last 12 months were I havn't ordered something!
Ramps - yep, basically I replace anything that is broken..Sometimes playfield plastics which cannot be sourced makes its hard...I need to venture into making my own one day!
Its difficult to put into words really....I still wouldn't class any of my rebuilds as full restorations - my Black Hole is probably the closest I've come to a full restoration...but the machine was worthy!
Sam if you checkout some of the guys restorations / rebuilds / shops' in the restoration section it may give you a better representation. I reckon almost everyone on this site would happily spend 10-60hrs working on a pin!
I've only ever bought 2 pins 'shopped'. Both were working perfectly and cosmetically spot on, took them home and plug n play. However there is nothing better than getting a pin straight off a container, covered in 10 years of crap and black dust only to spend a week cleaning it making it look new....
