It would be a excellent if the poll was broken into 2 x parts.

1. how many fully working pins do u have, and

2. maybe a second question about how many non working project machines.

The reason I say that, is some people have 5 working machines, and a dozen projects stored somewhere which havent been touched for years, and perhaps a few years before they will see daylight. or a whack working, and only a small percentage as projects. etc

The working pinballs, gives a better feel for what is working and out there today flying the flag for people (new or old to the hobby) to play.
Just a thought. Prhaps the vote could be split to show real figures ?  !@#

(mine would be all working today for example, with a project arriving soon)

I "should" have 131 machines in storage, not counting the Bingos. Which reminds me, I should add some others I picked up recently  #@#

Some people collect stamps, can you believe that  (((

I would estimate that 10 machines are fully working and the rest are projects.

13 today. 14 Tomorrow, back to 13 Sunday.

All are fully working except one Joker Poker waiting on cab stenciling, and Spirit that's pretty much working but still being worked on.
