Congrats on getting it going!   :applaud:

So want to have just one more go lol but I won't. It gives me even more of an incentive to get my cab finished now :)

It works both ways.  She has her hobbies which are dog agility and gardening.  I make her agility equipment for her and one of our major projects this year was a pergola so she is a happy camper.  Even when building your own equipment, agility can get expensive.

The thing about buying the pinball machine is that it isn't mostly just money down the drain (like if you bought a new Jet Ski or something), it is just parking the money in pinball form for a while. As long as you pay a fair price for your pin and maintain it then it isn't going to lose any value and is even likely to go up (unless you bought a brand new pin, in which case you are going to take a little bit of a bath when you resell it 5 years later).

Agreed.  I don't own anything newer and my machines vary from 71 through about 95.  I actually enjoy them a great deal.

Felt like a kid again lol.

Can't wait to get my cab finished now.

I remember that feeling. Its a fantastic sensation. When I first powered my CP, it had been about 20 years since I had last spend any length of time with a proper joystick and buttons. Amazing.

Incidentally, we live in a small house. I am building a bartop at the moment. My wife understanderbly said she doesnt want me to build a full size cab until we have more space... Our house in now on the market !
