Welcome, Jared!
I was a bit the same. Hanging around in the local arcades in the era of the DMD machines. Pinball was a secondary interest for me back then. I'd play a few games of the flashy pinball machines while I waited for a go on Street Fighter II or Mortal Kombat. Today I'm a pin addicted. 3 machines and want more more more!!! Have a cocktail cabinet with a 48 in 1 board in it currently that will need some tinkering with in the new year.
Absolutely love your arcade cabinets and jukeboxes. Do you sell them? Would be nice to have a cabinet that was playable, then switched over to jukebox when not in gaming use.
Cheers!
Adam.
