Is there a PA similar to AA ?

Somehow I’m now 10 pins over and starting to realise I have a problem.

Somethings gonna have to go 😢

Trying to figure out what to do:

My keepers are:
Paragon
TAF
MMr
WH2O
IJ
Centaur (to refurb)
Fathom (to refurb)

sell?:
Bally star trek
Space Invaders
HGOT - prov. sold
Goldball - sold
Fireball II
Stern Lightning
Stern Star Trek Pro
Pinbot (spanish one)
Rick N Morty BS Ed.
Eight ball deluxe LE
TZ

maybe sell once cabs restencilled:
Cosmic gunfight
Stern Meteor
Elektra

To refurb:
Medusa
Fathom
Centaur

decisions, decisions…….

Oh and of course I need to make room for a Rush 👍

On the other hand I could sack off the Mrs, send the kids to live 100% with their mum and then I don’t have a pinball problem at all.
 
I dont know......but if you find a PA group let me know. I can see me heading in the same direction and I've only just got started! (although 10 over is hardcore!)

Lovely selection of games there and I would not like to be the one making those tough decisions!

I have PM'd you ref TZ just in case it makes your life easier.

So my other unseen ebay purchase (in addition to the Bally Gold ball), was this Cirsa Pinbot. I am not really a fan of pinbot, but I want to get some experience on fixing SS Williams machines, so this is my first one. Seller reported that machine more or less working, but CPU failing to...

I sort of fancy a pinbot, could i have first refusal once its up for sale please :)
 
This thread explains a lot . I was thinking of asking about supply and demand on here being out of kilter . i.e. there being very little supply.
I have 11 machines . Have older ones mostly in my 'shed cave' currently Baywatch, NF, Shadow, JM. They all cost me less than £2k each and I fully intended to rotate these for similar price machines . It doesn't matter of course if they're all now £2500 or whatever but I'd fear selling any of those as nothing in that bracket ever seems to come up for sale anymore . So I was wondering if everyone is trading without listing (for the reason I've said I won't sell) or maybe people are hoarding them ? Free country of course just wondering why the supply of 90's machines has dried up ?
 
You are well on the way bit looking at your collection you won't be there until you assemble the full 1981 bally set.
There is no cure. Sorry.
 
If you look at the sales thread you have more wanted adds than actual pins for sale. That in itself tells you something. A number of pins have been taken out of circulation by dealers too.

Yeah they are all sat in HLD warehouse for sale at silly greedy prices :D
 
And very likely you've had PM's galore about the potential pins for sale.
Rick & Morty BS - I'd have it 😁
 
Thanks for all the messages and posts - currently still deciding what gets the chop. Will post up for sale ads in due course.
