Welcome to the fun!
Bit confused by your post - let me know if I've got this right:
You have a wife who **wants** you to buy a particular pinball machine, but you have **not** bought it?
I'm sure it's must just be me, but it seemed to suggest you were hesitating buying a pin even with wife support, indeed encouragement.
As the robot said: "It does not compute"
Someone help me out here!
