Still have your first pin ?

[Sgt GrizZ]

Just wondering how many of the troops still have the first machine they ever bought ?

I do, and as I have said before, when my Tommy goes .....I'm either dead or done with pinball forever

 

[JT.]

Nope

[Matt Adams]

Well not the original one but I have never been without a taf

 

[kevlar]

Still have my Getaway, out on loan atm. Actually still have my 2nd pin too, The Shadow.

 

[JWG9999]

No - broke beyond my ability to repair - but would have kept it. You love your first pin (or it would also have been your last)

 

[replicas]

No.

 

[I TiltAlot]

No, not the exact same machine, but I missed my first game Fish Tales so much that I bought another one again recently.

 

[Adrian Hufton]

Still got my 1st (TAF) and my 2nd (TZ) I might as well sell up and forget the hobby if TAF or TZ ever leave (and I hated TZ for a month when I bought it) they will never go unless I am flat broke and have no more body parts to sell!

 

[Calimori]

I have only been in the hobby three years and like all my other hobby's, I don't really sell anything so have all my firsts.
Space issues will make me sell the least loved machines but I am not at that point yet.

 

[mark9]

Yep, FT was my first and I still love it

 

[JT.]

so have all my firsts

First girlfriend currently stored in the basement Geoff?

This +1. Keep half-heartedly trying to sell my No Fear at shows, but then play it a few times while its there and take it home again

 

[Julian]

Nope TZ is gone, I've had 2 thus far, keeping an eye out for a super nice one though.

Having just bought another I now an forced to sell something...... But I love them all right now.... Aaaagh what a dilemma. I almost wish I hated 1 or 2 of them :-D

 

[J.C.Rox]

You know what I'm going to say here right?! Toot toot

 

[BigIan]

Nope,

Pinball pool was my first machine bought at an auction in about 1984/5 with a bust drop target. played it anyhow.
My brother took it to his house when he got married, eventually dumped it (didnt think id want it back!)

 

[cooldan]

until last month, yes, but now, no.
(checks records)my longest surviving pin is my 3rd purchase, and then they're all sold right down to my 13th

 

[jagman]

yep, in 2000 bought a bsd restored by the original pinball paradise
