I moved to a new instance, here's my re- #introduction

Hello people. I'm Ari, although I'm better known by my nick APz or apzpins in the social media.

I'm an IT guy by day, dedicating my free time to keep #pinball alive. My hobby has turned from owning a single game at home to an #arcade full of them over the years. Originally a very active tournament player, but in the past years I've been leaning more and more to the restoration and maintenance of the games. I especially love early solid state pins.

I'm a very #DIY -spirited person, often having to come up with creative ways to fix something that's been long obsolete. I do a lot of #3dprinting, tabletop #cnc and #laser'ing, among other things.

In addition to pinball machines, I'm into mechanical and video arcade games, #retrocomputing, owning plenty of machines from Commodore, Atari, PCs and old servers.

I run a #Peertube instance to archive my Youtube stuff at https://video.apz.fi/

I mostly post in English, but I'll reply in other languages where I can, I can do #Finnish and conversational #Spanish.

I love animals and I often post pictures of my whisker faces.
