I don't post anywhere near as much as I used to, that's because I'm in the fortunate position to have most of my time taken up with real machines, but up until around a week ago, I had 3 machines, 1 of which is on loan from a friend. I was in a little bit of a lull, yes its great having real machines in your own home but you start taking them for granted and playing them less and less.
To try and reinvigorate things, I offered to shop machines for free to a few friends, it didn't take long to have 2 replies so, 300 miles later now I have 2 additional machines to shop! One is currently stripped to the playfield, with plastics, guides and everything else nice and clean, now that alone occupies a lot of time but I really enjoy doing it, nothing quite like getting stuff shiny again and seeing how much crap is now on my (once white) cloth!
So as it stands, my current home pinball list is FT, NBAF (in bits), I500, HOOK and LW3, pretty darn varied I think you'll agree, most if not all of them will be getting on a van for a retro show at the end of the month!
