Since I was a kid (like so many of you) I was, and still am fascinated by the pinball. I spend hours, days and weeks in my garage almost every day after work airbrushing, sculpting, degunking and super detailing pinball machines. Play them for a while and then sell them. I have come up with some rather (if i may say so myself) innovative restoration processes to bring to life the original artist's concept of the theme. Just to drop a line, If anyone is interested in buying a game just for the fun of it, there are some really bad people out there saying they have a "GREAT" game, and it's always a basket case, or the workings are just not right and it costs you your house to get it fixed. I put real love into the machine so when it's ready to sell your getting a REAL work of art that really WORKS as it should. I'm currently selling a "travel Time" machine on Ebay, and working on 3 more for the near future. FYI.........
 
"It's a labor of love" is what I tell anyone who buys old games from me, especially pins. Once a pin has a few plays on it, something is going to need attention. Bulbs go out, switches don't always work, balls hang in unexpected places, the list goes on. It will be 100% working when it is sold, but don't expect it to stay that way for very long.
 
I'll tell you what: Things go wrong. That's just the case. But, for the most part, once I've fixed my machines up, they go well for a good long time without needing much of anything. I love working on these... which is strange, because when I got into the hobby at first, I HATED working on them. It was a pain in the ass to fix things. I love playing them much more than fixing, but fixing still is neat for some reason. A sense of accomplishment, I suppose.
