I am wondering what are the worst mistakes you've ever made and what is the best advice you can give.

best comment on that was from Hamster. I quote it every few months or so. "pissing off the people who pack all that smoke into integrated chips, once you let it out, you can't get it to go back in, how they do it, i dont know."

Here is mine from 2012.. I had just bought a non working Missle Command. Was looking to repair the PCB. Ended up sending it to guy on Klov who fixes them. My 1st real upright arcade game.

Here was my first from back in 2013.
Feels like 20 years ago and in some ways 5 years ago.  Crazy!

I want to thank everyone who brought pinball and arcade games to the Florida APE last month.
It was personally an incredible experience for me and I want to thank you all for your contributions to making the event a great one.
I was only there for Friday and wished I could have stayed the entire weekend. I also wanted to meet many of you but didn't get to meet as many as I would have liked to.
Thanks again to Marcel for hosting a fantastic event where we can all share in this fabulous hobby. See you all hopefully at Game Warp!

What's up guys! Shawn here in Wesley Chapel, FL.  I've been collecting pins for a few years now; it's about time I got on here.  Some of you I've met or traded games with in the past and you have told me about this site (Especially Mick).  I'm looking forward to chatting with you and sharing in the mutual passion of pinball collecting.  It's always great to talk with my fellow pinball enthusiasts! 

Current pins in my collection: NASCAR, Cyclone, Doctor Who, TFTC, Stargate, Bride of Pinbot, Black Hole, Whirlwind.  Just picked up - not working- needs LOTS of restoring: Black Knight - Not sure I'm up for the job but researching now (Wish me luck??) 


Take care guys - Talk to you soon!
