I hate to say it ( I love the 80's Arcade games But ) My real love is with the pins I tell You.As for now I have 4 arcades and Only 2 pins . I am torn do I trade my 4 arcades in for a 60-in 1  to make more room for pins ?

I have seen this happen many times with my friends. I like both and they both have a place. For me the right balance is a handful of pins and a lot of vids. That's how I remember arcades anyways. Smiley I also prefer working on vids too. Not that pins are hard. I just think vids are more unique from game to game. Vector monitors vs raster vs oddball controls vs side art etc cet

I like pins, but was born into the video game era right when they took off I still can remember going to the arcade daily back in 1982, also they seem more intimidating to work on, with that said, I wouldn't mind finding a Flight 2000 it holds some good nostalgia memories for me...
