You have been warned!

If you are easily excited, please go back!



My fellow pinball fans
I have come to a conclusion.
After a two weeks of moving games around, I think I have reached my limit

I have too many pinball machines!!!

‘Not possible’ I hear you say 
I never thought it would come to this, I reply

Lately I have had an itching to play some old style EM pinball. Cool, I have one that I should be able to get up and running without too much trouble. But finding the space to get it up was the trouble, it took a few days of packing up one game, and moving others around to make enough space in order for me to set the game up and be able to work on it, but I did it and hopefully I will get to play it in a few days

To make it even harder, I took a fancy to an old system 11 game, I had it delivered to work until I found some more space, but two weeks later, the game is home but I still have not found a place to set it up and have a few games



Maybe I am not trying hard enough

Burn the heretic!!!!

I guess that is why some build a shed, extend the shed or the house, or move...

[Retropin]

YES!!!! I hear you!

Hahahaha, good one if it was April the first.

Of course, everyone (well those that didn't immediately faint) knows that you really meant

I have insufficient space for my pinballs and will need to get rid of my fridge, stove, TV.. ..

"I have too many pinball machines!!!"

I'll have to "pin prick myself" as I must be dreaming.. I've never heard such a comment. I'm still in "shock"..

The only part of your post that I am able to understand is this part - "Maybe I am not trying hard enough " 

It's time to move house, Pete

sounds like the first step of rehab

Dump them at my place, I will gladly toss into the street all my kids bikes and crap just to make room for your unwanted pins  

[scratcha]

You know, I could rip out the bath, I could fit two in that space
Bathing is over rated anyway

Yeah, but you only want the ones that are working 100%

Even I forgot about that room. What a lot of wasted space!!

For all the pretend shock horror replies, I hear you. I am a serious collector of anything and everything so space is at a premium. The thought of letting something go just seems wrong to me, but sometimes it is a neccesary evil. That is why we all seem to move on a machine or two every so often...

No way
I have learned the hard way, never sell nuffin

[Caveoftreasures]

I agree Pete.

Pinball machines are like Gold. Ya look at the prices every few years, and they only ever go one way. UP UP UP UP >>>

Its too hard to find replacements, and the replacements never seem to be as good (unless u pay ALOT more.

I say keep em forever ! (Still playing them when ya are 90 yrs old and have to guess where the ball is from ya wheel chair seems the go !)
