Thanks starting this thread Daniel, it's nice to read all the other responses.
Although my wife never played pinball growing up or is terribly excited about it, she does understand that with us working long hours 7 days a week I need some sort of release. I don't go out, stopped drinking and smoking years ago and haven't played in a band since the early 90's!
My last hobby was photography and film-making however when that turned into a full-time business I knew at some stage I had to rekindle the old pinnie hobby, I mean crikey a man needs something other than work in his life!!
She's also happy that the kids like it as much as their beloved Playstation 2 and also that the machines are actually worth a little more once they're restored.
