You have to move it, you have to maintain it. It's going to break a lot, it's going to need regular maintenance that requires a lot of knowledge and skill. Overtime new parts will be needed. You need room for it and you probably want to have your own house where you plan to settle because lugging it around won't be fun, nor will having to consider it when making housing decisions. And one day you're going to get bored with it and want another, thus starting the whole process over.  I once bought a 2-slot Neo Geo MVS. Worked great, a steal at $300. One day the monitor just didn't turn on. Ended up being a major hassle and that was just an upright arcade cabinet. Sadly, I had to part with it at a loss.Truth is, owning pins is pretty impractical for most people. Better to just live in a city with a solid pinball scene and a few good public places to play. But that's why we play TPA, right? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
