Non-Paintball Collections - What's Your Other Vice?

[Magmoormaster]

I collect a few different things, but I'm also somewhat of a minimalist so I'm very particular with what I have in my collections. My biggest collection would be DVDs; I think I have something like 150 right now. I have a small book collection, which is probably the least impressive. And last year, I got into vinyl records. I have about 25 or so.

I have 21 pinball machines. 10 are at my location I have had for 7 years or so. I just added a 4th to a location I got about 6 months ago. The new spot is close to home and I run novice tournaments there. My main location is 30 minutes away and I run my league and other tournaments there. I also have 4 pins that a friend owns while he works out of state and will figure out what he wants to do with those once he decides if he is staying there or coming back.

Do you happen to have a KISS machine ? Always thought they were so cool as kid in the arcade. Yea I’m old enough to have played on one.

I've owned a few pins over the years. They are fantastic! Have you a Creature From the Black Lagoon?

[desertT1]

There are two KISS machines now. One from the late 70’s, which I’ve played a few times, and one from 2014-2016. I’ve played that one a few times as well. Both are fun, and one cool thing about them is the art was done by the same guy.

Don’t have a Creature, but a friend who had a pinball arcade that was closed due to covid has one. That might go out some day if he finds a good location for it. He just got a spot that he put 4 games in and can put up to 8, so here’s to hoping.

Autographed sports stuff from Chicago teams, UFC gloves, as well as a Goalie helmet signed by the entire Miracle on Ice team. I'm a huge sports fan outside of paintball, and have a room in the house that's got a ton of gear in it. A LOT of signed stuff from the Blackahawks and Bears, including signed jerseys, sticks, Super Bowl Trophies/Stanley Cup, balls, books, cleats, gloves, mini helmets, full size helmets, etc. Great place to watch a game too.

Sort random question I've always wondered. How much does a pinball machine cost?

you can get them for several hundred dollars up to around 9 grand for new ones. rarer stuff can go for more.

Restoring some old Ram pickups. The step side bed is going on the white 83 Ram D150, The other one is an 82 W250 Power Ram 360 4-speed. the white one is getting a 440 swapped into it. May have to list some gear to help pay for it all.

Moose guy with a Mustang II name?! You sir, are a complicated fellow, but always glad to have a fellow Mopar fan here.

[mustangii]

well the white one is going to my son, the 440 is going into the w250
