Pinball Priority

[Jonwolf]

I was wondering if anyone wanted to share their experiences and thoughts on where they put pinball as a priority in their lives.

If anything goes wrong with one of my machines (I only have two) I am straight in there sorting it. For example, recently a sling shot started ‘chattering’ when playing.

In minutes I was examining the switch and checking if it was set right. I clean and check the machines on a religiously regular basis.

Meanwhile...

- the inside of my car looks a tip, red warning light has been on for months and the car is bloody filthy

- the garden is overgrown in the summer and I mow the lawn when I can’t see the cat outside

- the uneaten Christmas cheese in the fridge has started to develop its own ecosystem and the icebox is held shut with a paper clip

- the radiator control that broke off two months ago is still in the fruit bowl

- there are tins of weird food at the back of the pantry that are older than me

Etc etc

The good news?

My pinball machines are in top nick though [emoji106]

I'm reading this pinball forum when I could be watching "Don't Tell the Bride" downstairs

Funny you wrote that as just spent over 2 hours cleaning a 1954 Gottlieb stepper as I noticed it was not re-setting as quickly as it could. Even my 1950's games I want them to play 100% fault free and as close to factory as possible

Same with all my modern games - have to be fault free! Er, think I am a wee bit obsessive

It would be interesting to hear the forum members wives opinion on this.

There are some jobs in the house that have to be done - otherwise moan to nagging ratio gets dangerously high - thankfully Martin @ gopinball (who is a fantastic Pinball mechanic) helps me keep my machines in tip top condition.

They should be too busy in the kitchen and cleaning the house to be able to spend time on the forum....

Polish machines
polish house
polish wife

in that order.

Currently the pinball machines are just ahead of the goldfish on the priorities list.

You mean fluff, not stuff?

Currently my car has got a break light out, a sidelight out and I've had my engine light on for probably about 6 months now. However i will check all of my machines quite often for blown bulbs and replace them instantly... My priorities are definitely sorted.
