Do you tinker more than you play?
shardian:
I'd say I'm a tinkerer. Right now I am stripping gloss black paint off of a xevious cabinet. It is grueling work and very messy...but I love every minute of it! I love the feeling of taking something that would be a trash pile candidate and turning it into something that is worth keeping.
One time I took a crappy, rusted out gas grill and completely restored it. I could have bought another for $50 at Big Lots, but that just wouldn't have been as satisfying.

I tinker and play equally! My first cab would already be finished if I didn't play it so much. Of course, I'm at the point where I just need to finish my other swappable panels, so it looks like a finished product right now - I just don't have the controls for all the games yet.
My latest thing I'm working on is getting the Daphne games going. About 85% done. I think most of them are crap, but I am really getting into Cliff Hanger...

I do not play as much as I should .... :P but my kids play about 3 times a week now for a few hours. When their friends come over on the weekend, they can even play longer

I would recommend starting a new thread regarding your coin slot question. I would not hijack this thread with a new topic ..... :)

Perfect example: I bought a Turbo Twist 2 to install in my horizontal cabinet...I just HAD to have this $70+ device so I could play Ivan Stewart & Blasteroids...
...i've put a grand total of MAYBE 15 minutes on the damn device since I have had it...and i've had it oh...a month or so now.
ARGH!
I just got the wheel from a member here...came in the mail yestarday morning...I was so friggin' excited to get it...couldn't wait to install it...
...then I worked on my DKJr machine and didn't even go NEAR the horizontal cabinet.
ARGH!

Actually, I do play more than I tinker now that it's done. I still don't play much, because what this has taught me is that even with infinite quarters, I'm still terrible! But since my dog doesn't like to eat unless someone is keeping him company and we feed him beside the cab, I put in some decent time with it, usually trying to go try a random game and see if I can understand it.
