How many of your games are playable right now ?
« on: April 09, 2013, 08:40:15 PM »

I have 7 pinnies and only 1 playable right now .

2 are projects stored away, a 3rd is restored, but stored away .
Of the 4 setup ,
a) Creature playfield is currently stripped down for a major clean ,
b) Gulf Stream (restored and playable) is currently being used as a workbench for Creature playfield parts
c) Thoro Bred is still undergoing an overhaul/rebuild so is not playable which leaves
d) Firepower as my only playable pinball .

So.. just wondered how many pins you have setup and playable right now ? 
I need more room ! and more $$$

Paragon is playable.

I promised myself to have at least one of MY personal collection restored each year. Might be my Black Hole or Viking. I still love working on games more than playing them.

3 out of 5 working, I hope it will be 4 in the next month or so. Then I am going to attempt my first full resto on a EM Gottlieb Kingpin.

Ten set up, 8 playable - AFM is getting Eltimbo treatment at the moment, and Pinball Magic playfield is sitting in front of me waiting for me to get motivated for the playfield swap.

I hate when my games aren't playable, I get obsessed until fixed and running.

LOl- Zaccaria logic will do your head in.... the logic is all interlinked .. dont give up though, youll get there eventually unless of course youve had acid damage, in which case just do yourself a favour and buy a Homepin replacement

Creech will be going in for a restore someday is running but needs some love
Baywatch will be going in for a minor shop but playable - but has sponge bits behind target switches and lots of broken plastics and just needs a polish and a few mods
Surf Champ, partially stripped and will be getting a cabinet restore and general shop (not playable at the moment)
