Thankyou guys for the kind words. My aim with having a collection was always to share them with others and watching other people having fun is what it is all about.

The pinball designers are the ones who should be proud that they did such a great job of designing some "magic" into every machine. Whilst these various machines have passed their so called "hey day" making money onsite etc, I think if anything they are probably appreciated MORE TODAY by pinball people because we all know they are no longer made like they used to be, and I treat them and think of them like yesterdays treasure. They might be old, they might be forgotton, but they are valuable parts of history to me and many others. Just looking at them gives me a buzz.

The best thing for a pinball machine, is to get some love and games put onto it. It repays your affection with a heap of fun. Sounds like a fair deal to me.  

Thanks again for the kind words.
