A big thanks to all who offer their own little personal arcades for us to play with, when we attend the regular MAACA meets.  I'm impressed at the sense of fellowship between everyone and *looks to see if wife is looking over his shoulder* I hope my own collection will grow enough that I too, can invite all over to my place.  You guys and gals are the best.

Thanks for the appreciation and kudos !
I love fixing pinball machines and have been doing this as a serious hobby for over 26 years.
Indeed I often try to help others repair their machine when I get a bit of limited spare time !

I certainly feel that MAACA has been the catalyst for bringing the best in many of us,
including for sharing valuable information about parts, prices, tips, historical info, people,
machines for sale/wanted/trade, shipping, customs, fun meetings, amazing custom-made designs,
restorations of artwork, photography, troubleshooting/tips, techniques, shows, books, etc.

I also tip my hat to all others who have contributed positively in this fashion to the hobby.
Thank you. I have learned quite a bit here too.

I also want to Thank Sparky and all other admins for this MAACA site (and MacPhreak!).
It has been a big success in my books, and is part of our ...addiction with machines
I will be cured in one or 1200 more machines


Thanks again,
Sincerely,
- Sylvain in Ottawa.

thanks to all.i had alot of help from MAACA members. thanks



and thanks pinsonly for buying all my crap.or i mean broken stuff.when my pins break i sell them to pinsonly

Man..  All this lovin'...  It's... tooo much....     *GROUP HUG*

JK..

Seriously thanks for the appreciation....  The only reason I still enjoy this hobby is the mental challenge of resolving issues/problems..  THAT's the fun part

Still..  I'll leave the early Bally/Stern and GTB SS issues to Sylvain!!

This is very true. The challenge is fun, as well as reviving the machine.
I feel we are performing an investigation, what is wrong, how did it occur, and how to fix it.

Thanks! And the EMs too  
However, I will leave you with most if not all of the DMDs.

Cheers,
- Sylvain.

I look at it like this guys...

I try to treat others the way I would like to be treated, so I always try to help out when / where I can.  This is also a double edged sword at times though.... (and usually how I get sucked into those "negative" posts from time to time)

Just glad I'm able to pay it forward.

I could say thanks but all I do is pay for it. I unfortunately don't get to help as much as I used to or want to, but I still love doing it.
