I guess my issue is that you need to be careful with non reversible modification of anything. Who knows what the future holds for pinball but in almost other collectable situations, originality is king.

I must admit that the nicotine smell of old machines does bring a touch of nostalgia, but years of sun fade, abuse from kids and careless operators, and of course general wear and tear can't be a good thing can it?
dave do you have ocd even the novus in the pic is lined up perfectly
Yeah I dont think ive ever seen all three bottles of novus together since i took them out of the box, let alone all lined up nicely
Well sure it is, IF you're talking about keeping the value of said item.
But some people look beyond what it's worth an instead are focussed on making it playable for now and years to come. When it's an antique vase which sits on a shelf then sure you wouldn't want to be changing too much, but when it's a piece of gaming equipment I think things are a little different.
Personally i'm in the camp of 'make it look nice' and 'make it play well'. Those are my two highest priorities but I realise that's not everyones view.

Ha, OCD! I wish! It looks a little cluttered now. spare parts all under the pins, tools everywhere...
Sounds like you also enjoy the inevitable 'out of order' sign you'd often see on arcade based pins too if you enjoy the originality
