I'm 28 so probably fit into the younger age bracket of collectors. Most of the guys I hang out with when playing pinball are 40+. I just worry that in 20 years there won't be enough people playing anymore. Part will be harder to get, competitive pinball will die, and who knows what will happen to prices.
I also worry about lost expertise. I have learned to repair most issues on my own and hope to be repairing other peoples machines in the future. But the best techs in this game aren't getting younger and I don't see enough younger guys getting into that side of the hobby.
