I usually play most days - after work it would be in the evening; even if I have had stuff on and it is just before bedtime I usually squeeze a couple of games in.

The fun is when you have that game where the ball just won't go down and you end up with a high score! Recently did that on both Dirty Harry (finally completed a crime wave) (a modest 2.8K million for a five ball game) and Mousin' Around! (15 million - that's starting to get up there for three ball fairly high difficulty).

I love playing pinball, it is just heaps of fun.

For me, I got rid of Foxtel to spend more time on the machines.  In between projects I generally play them every day.  Occasionally I'll have a break but not for long..

When I've got a project - generally 2-4 hrs per night until I need a break.

I can go a week and not have a game. Then when the mood strikes me I can play em all week. Getting another is the best way to spark interest, that and having a success with repairing a niggling fault.

Its nothing for me to spend 8 hours after work on restoring pinballs when i have a project on the go.  But rarely turn them on for a game unless i have guest and even then i usually stand back and watch and think I NEED ANOTHER PROJECT PIN

Hey Marty .. I reckon you need to add another option "Not as much as I should" .
Like Daniel I often am working on my current project (though not up to 8 hrs a day after work  ^%^) and just don't play mine as much as I should be .
I've decided I will have to always have a project pin in my collection.

All the time, or Anytime i like...


I don't think a day has passed in years that I have not played a Pinball machine. Even when I went on a Cruise 7 years ago, the first thing I looked for after we left the dock was the games room. Bloody pokies !

Even when I went on a remote fishing trip - I had "pinball" on my phone !

thread shouldave been.......how many hours a day you dont think about pinball?

I try to play when I can but most often lately it's been only when I'm testing after a fix.
