If we all collected the same kind of pins it sure would be boring.
I can fully understand why people collect all types of pins. I have owned alot of SS and DMDs over the years but they don't get used after a week as I find them too easy to play. Don't collect them (or even pick them up cheap) anymore.
Alot of the early SS pins play just like EMs with some extra features.
Why do I only collect and adore 1950 to 1965 pins? They have a history - imagine if they could talk, the way they look - simply pieces of art. Restoring a game that is over 50 years old takes alot of skill, patience and the hunt for parts is a rush. Also the game play is difficult, there is alot of skill required, especially with games with 2" flippers.
I have taken some closeups of some of the art on my games and will post them in the next few days
