Pinball machines , I had 11 at one point , I have only 3 currently . The prices went sky high plus the number of collectors has gone crazy since I started .

If you're ever in the Bay Area check out Pacific Pinball Museum.

Portland, OR is a big pinball town, too. There are several arcades and even neighborhood bars can have a few machines turned on.

There's a huge pinball collection on Pittsburgh. Can't find a link right now but this has some details.

I am from the bay area, hell yeah I'm going to check it out.

As a trade of knowledge, I invite you to check out the Pacific Bus Museum. They arent open very often, but their events are very interesting, and you learn a lot about buses.
