Quoted from shlockdoc:Kevin is a good choice. Gwaxt on the group here is local and has goo deals. Ebundy in CT is a good dude. I'm in bergen county. Which pin you have in mind? EM, SS, DMD?
First one will likely be an SS. I love playing almost any pin, and eventually would like to add some older games as well (quite fond of Klondike and Central Park, as well as a ton of others I played as a boy). I want my family to enjoy it as well. We're big Doctor Who fans and I know they would love that. Not sure if I can do that in the price range or if I could find a good one available, but it's on my radar. The above mentioned Funhouse is a favorite, and I love Eight Ball Deluxe and Cue Ball Wizard. Bride of Pinbot is another I enjoy. Cyclone, Comet, Centaur, Tales From the Crypt.
Of course down the road I'd love to acquire an Addams Family, Attack From Mars, TZ, or TOM, but am quite willing to bide my time.
Years ago, when I worked at a local Blimpies, we had a Paragon machine that we played endlessly after hours. Silverball Mania too, though I recently played it at the Silverball Museum and it didn't quite hold up as well as it once did for me.
Hell, there aren't many I don't like, but those are some favorites.
