Hey, any of you Guys/Gals old enough to remember pinball? Just another one of my obsessions...fun to play and work on. People coome over to look at my German collection and end up playing Pinball. I have five in my collection to date...really competes with my Relic collecting.

Let's see, then.

I picked up Terminator 2 for my wife for Christmas a couple of years ago. since then, at every party or gathering we have, there is a line to play.

the problem of course, is maintenance. But, they are not so difficult to work on once you get use to it.

Jim you talking about the wife or the pinball with the maintenance.

Funny Ed. There is a distinct difference between maintenance and "high" maintenance. At least for my PBMs I can still find replacement parts...the wife on the other hand, well you just patch-up what you can...

Oh, I get some pics out there tonight for you guys...

Had an Evel Kneival pinball in good working order with a really nice conditioned playing board and backglass...sold it 3 years ago for $500 don't know if that was a good deal or not...figure that it was worth more...cheers, Ryan

Hi Ed.

Hard to tell from my post which i was talking about.

Now that I think about it. The maintenance (fortunately I do not have upkeep problems)on my wife got easier the better I learned to maintain the pin ball machine.

You old married guys know what i'm talking about.

I want a pinball machine. I would really like to get the old "Red baron" one to fit in with my stuff, but "PinBot" or "Back knight" would work as I spent most of youth playing them.

I also have been looking for a Pace Comet .05 slot machine. Not the panache of a "War eagle" but it was we had when I was a kid...

Here are my 5 machines...

3 and 4

Note, thes eamchines are inmy dining room...I have a tolerant wife (besides, she plays)...as soon as the basement is finished they go downstairs and my German collection comes out of its boxes for display.

Very nice.

You should add little horizontal trays on the right and left for the food. Save all that space wasted on furniture.
