Longest you have owned the same pinball machine

I recently sold the first pinball machine I ever bought.

It was early 1997 when I got Flash.

 

That makes nearly 22 years

 

I'm sure it's not a record, buts it's certainly a long time.

 

Hopefully the new owner will keep it for a while as well.

Jungle princess was my first and I think I was About 13-14 so 25 years ish and it’s not going anywhere

Haven't even seen it yet. It's @kayakkingoz place he's bringing it up next time he comes. He may have clocked it maybe?

Bought my first pinball machine from a dealer/operator in Albury around 26 years ago. Gottlieb Incredible Hulk (1979). I sold off my He-Man and Ninja Turtles action figures and vehicles at the markets and my parents probably put in the rest. I think we paid $300-$400 for it back in the day?
