Getting my first pinball this weekend!

[meegis]

Spent a solid few hours shop vaccing the basement, put down a quick coat of paint in the area where the macine will be going tomorrow. Should be dry before we get it in place.

Will finish the rest of the basement another time. Just temporary for major dust control until the day we decide to finish it properly.

Also just sent a facebook request to join the ToPL group.


We'll see how monday nights go in the future.

 

[meegis]

It's in!!

 

[eh97ac]

OH Mr.Peabody!

 

[Monkeybug]

Ahhh... I remember when my basement looked like that..... all that floor space full of hope and dreams.......

At least I think I remember having floorspace....

 

[WARLOCK]

Nice. I bet your basement will start looking like everyone else soon.
One just won't do for long since you are already on the path. Enjoy!

 

[brewmanager]

I had one once....

They're like potato chips and bunny rabbits. You can't have just one, and they multiply rapidly.

 

[frolic]

I thought my basement could hold only 1. I told everyone I could have only 1.

Then it became 2, and I'd have no more space.

Then I found space for 2 more. and it became 4.

Then I found space for a 5th.

I have a feeling your basement will remain unfinished longer and the pins multiply ;-).

 

[slacker]

WOW look at all that space! As it has been said I only had the room and the funds for maybe 2 then I had 4, some may say OMG you did what but I ripped out the bar (installed cup holders on all the pin legs :lol: ) then it was 7.
I am back down to 5 since I can't stand to see any not being set-up but as Warlock can tell you, summer is coming so as it gets warmer my garage can hold lots but they will need to thinned out again before it get cold again..... but then again heating the garage year round has always been a dream.
Wecolme and congrats!
P.S right now might be the best time to buy lets say 3 or 4 pins that will be a sure test of if the wedding thing is going to work out!

I am not against getting more, it really is a wallet issue at this point.

And Slacker, she has no issue with more machines and other various stuff.

Was also at my parents house yesterday, took a quick shot of my dads machines.

Sweet from one car guy to another her words not mine
"well at least they are smaller then cars"
BTW my kids love SP so your dad is their hero, lol they keep asking me to get that one!
Cheers!

 

[meegis]

Yeah, if I wasn't into cars, Id probably be further ahead in the pinball game (pun!)

 

[Beafraid]

I got out of the car game to get into pinball. It was time for a change. This is what I sold last year to fund the pin collection.

 

[Menace]

Yikes, and to think just a couple years ago I almost dumped my entire collection to buy a f5 cobra...

D

 

[meegis]

I always had a soft spot for the cobra. Otherwise, the muscle car era never enticed me. Probably my age.

 

[tkaye]

This is awesome... Now we'll all get to see first hand how quickly his collection balloons from 1 to 2, and then to 3 and then to 12. LOL Welcome to the club, it's a slippery slope! Lots of good people here to help when you need it.
