...it pulls you in with that hypnotic silvery sphere and the flashing lights. Next thing you know you own 3 of them!

(yep-- I just bought my 3rd-- pics soon).

 :soapbox:  :timebomb:

Nice!

My first was a Jurassic Park, and I sat on that one for a good 6 months. After that I thought, "well, I could use one more to compliment it, so I might as well get an old favorite." After that I picked up a Twilight Zone, not realizing that I had taken a step--wait no, a leap--onto the slippery slope of pinball madness. Now I have 7 machines downstairs, 4 in the garage, and 3 more machines at a friend's and my family's homes.

It's crazy how addictive the silverball can be. :D

Flake:
I've been in the hobby for 2 years or so.  In that time I've owned 4 different machines.  I own two currently - both in storage until I close on my new house.  Which is tomorrow!  I get to rescue my babies on Saturday!

At some point in the distant future I'd like to bring my collection to 3.  Not exactly sure which one though.

HERE'S MY LATEST LOVE---

The Theatre of Magic!

I got it from the same guy I got my Simpson's from. I knew he would deliver it and help me get it down the stairs to my basement so I've been watching his Ebay auctions for a while now.

I used to do magic at kids birthday parties, and actually was the manager of a magic/novelty shop throughout all of college so this was a great fit for me.

The machine is in great shape....and I feel that I paid a fair price (it was more than what I thought I would spend but in line with reality).

It needs a small amount of cosmetic work to get it into the $4K + value range-- but I'm well on my way as I ordered up a ton of stuff for it today.....new legs, replacement plastics for 2 cracked ones...the usual stuff.

I had to re order everything in the basement to make room-- but it fits in the GR like a glove. I still have to neaten up all of my electric cords too...but that's all the fun detail stuff to make it "perfect".  :applaud: :cheers:

Is it weird that when I see gameroom pics like that I never envy the games?  I always envy the finished space to put the games in.
