Hit pin #10,000 on my $80 press last night and just sat there for a minute
I got my first machine two years ago in my garage in Salem and figured it would be a fun side thing, but the counter on the back read 10,000 pins after I finished a 250 pin batch for a local record store. The weird part is the spring feels the same as day one, so now I'm wondering if I should keep pressing until it dies or retire it as a backup. What's the most pins you've put through one machine before it finally gave out on you?
