1. All around the same time (86/87) there was 3 pins in our town they were FJ, Black Knight and Hyper Ball. I liked them all as I'd only ever played arcades before that.

2. Funhouse it's just such a cool pin. Got to love Rudy.

3. I like them all. They all have good qualities. At the moment I really like Zaccaria

4. Funhouse but once Devil Rider & Farfalla are up and running, Rudy might not get turned on for a while.

5. 18 months

6. Cactus Jacks. Found it on gumtree

7. Yes

8. Lol it's pinball so I'm always working on one of them. I've got 7 pins that are all in need of some love.

9. I'd say Tales of the Arabian knights cos I can't afford Medieval Madness

10. My Selen Cup head to head pin. Got that for $500 and I'm told it the only one in the country and one of a handful left

11. Missed a Tmnt recently the kids would have liked it but if I bought that I'd have missed the 3 zacs I bought.

12. I'm glad I've bought them all but if I had to pick one it would be wipeout. But when ever someone that's not into pinball comes over that's the one that gets played the most.

13. Bit of everything I just like pinball don't care who made it if I've got the cash in my pocket and its for sale there is a fair chance it's coming home.

14. It's a shed. Two rows of 6 pins then all the parts and rest of the shed behind

15. Got an upright cab that I built with 356 in 1 & 26in lai cab with mortal kombat 2 sold the rest to buy pins.

16. Great to see guys like Homepin having a go. I think the whole hobby will continue to grow as some of us get closer to our midlife crisis and try to relive our youth. Never thought that I could ever own a pin now I've got 12.

It is truly amazing the way they multiply despite best intentions.

Thanks for taking the time to do the quiz.

12 pins in 18 months is pretty impressive . Looking forward to a resto thread on your Selen Cup when you get around to it .

I enjoyed doing it. Selen Cup is about to get "put away" while I start the zaccaria's. it's time to start finishing some of these projects it would be nice to play pinball instead of fixing pinball when I go out to the shed.

Great to to read these experiences. Hopefully we can keep this tradition going.
