Thinking of selling my Top Score

Well, it's been a good long trip, and the kids know this as "their" pinball machine since they grew up with it, but to be honest, Top Score was my starter machine... not one of my holy grails.  And now that I have Jenny's Taxi and my Wizard, I'm ready to move up to what I want.  I used to think a I wanted a Black Knight, but playing it a few nights for hours on end at www.cppinball.com and www.pacificpinball.org, I realized that what I love about it is mostly the memories.  It's fun to play on William's classics, but it doesn't capture me the way my Firepower does or the way World Poker Tournament does.  So, I think for my Steve Richie, what I'm gonna do is this.  I'm going to get rid of Top Score so I have an empty spot in the game room.  Then, I'll start looking for a WPT.  Once I find a WPT, I'll decide if the Firepower stays or goes.

What a wonderful thing, to have these kind of problems!  :)

Anyway, if anyone wants a Top Score in good enough condition, let me know.
