Hi everyone. This is a great site, glad I found it. Anyway, I've always wanted my own machine but never had the money. I'm kind of old school and I like open playfields and like hitting targets more than ramps , etc. Well I suddenly came into a little money, about $1500 and I want to buy my first pinball. I'm thinking of getting an Eightball Deluxe or Eightball Champ. I'm leaning towards the Champ because its typically less expensive than Deluxe and I think it's the one I just loved playing while in college. Seems the 8ball Champ typically goes for around $900 online but since I really know next to nothing I'm considering buying from a store and was quoted $1500-1800 from them. I know that is high but was thinking their shopping it and delivering it, not to mention it would have a 30 day warranty. I think these guys have a pretty good reputation although I know I am overpaying for the machine. Am I making a mistake getting the machine this way? Any suggestions? What should I look for or ask them about? Some people I know are telling me I will get bored quickly with this machine but since I can't afford Attack from Mars I thought I'd go with one that at one time I couldn't get enough of. Thanks for any advice/suggestions.
