Almost 30 years since high school, I have said “I am going to get one”. Over 20 years together with the most wonderful woman, my bride got me a beyond awesome anniversary gift - The Addams Family pinball machine I have always wanted!

Great gift and a real classic I watched as a kid.

But the real question is "Did she keep the coin slot functional and requires you to pay for each game". LOL

Would be a great way for her to save up for the next gift!

Have fun Spikey Mike!

No way ! That is awesome. I started playing pinball in 1965 ,what a fine machine you have there. If you lived closer I would ask to drop a dime in it (that was the going rate back in those days). However, it was amazing was amazing what a penny n a stone grinder wheel could do.

That is really cool! Sounds like your wife is definitely a keeper.

Now for the question everyone is wanting to ask... what did you get her? ;)

Actually I found a grail gift for her about 2 years ago for her 40th birthday. She is an avid reader and I found a signed Stephen King first edition, first printing, hard cover, of her favorite book - Bag of Bones - that recognized his first ever European book signing. It's one of I think 2000. The only other thing I could get her to top that would be a J K Rowling signed book or an in-person dinner date with Stephen King and that would require a second mortgage.
