I'm *playing* the CV regularly, it just hasn't been *restored* yet :) It plays OK, but a pin that has been completely rebuilt from top to bottom plays better.
My track record for restorations isn't stellar - I work at my own pace. I can typically work on pins for a couple hours at a time due to family/work/business constraints etc, and it's a rarity that I can work 7 days a week. I've got a 2 year old and a 3 year old, and as I learned when I had a 1 year old and a 2 year old, they don't stay that age forever :) Also, I built most of my collection before having the kids and while getting paid a whole lot better salary due to the US economy - so I have the challenge of funding the restorations. Even if I had more time, I probably wouldn't have the resources to go all out on more than a couple games in the collection a year.
Further challenging my time issue is the fact that I've been selling the collection of my best friend, who passed away unexpectedly in January of 2009. He had about 30 pins, and he lived in a neighboring state, nearly 3 hours from my home. Nearly every pin has required some work - some a little, some a lot. I've been trying to get his wife and daughter top dollar for everything, as they've lost his income, even though he had some insurance etc. So, when it comes time to sell one of his games, I get to stop what I'm doing and put about 1-2 weeks of my time into one of his games.
So, have no fear, most of my collection is set up and gets enjoyed regularly. Just most of them don't have polished leaf switches yet :) But, that's OK, I never said I needed a schedule!
