Dear god it's been 9 months o_o.

So almost a year or so ago I posted about me wanting to buy a machine. First off still no pinball machine (sad) but things are improving. I have my license now and parents are trying to get me a car (stuff is stressful due to use car lot screwing us over) but yea I did finally get to play pinball IRL! Funhouse and Attack On Mars. One of the most thrilling things I've played, surpassing virtual reality because, well, I can feel it

As for my ability to get a machine. Unable, still, but I might think about going back to that arcade I went to (Flashback Arcade, btw.) And yea, I definitely will save up for an apartment or a member. That's an update

Try renting one maybe? Someone in your state may rent machines and you can still play a high end machine at your own home, at your convenience for much less than the actual cost of the machine. Plus they handle repairs, drop off..easy stuff!

I have seen several distributors that rent them. But they are not cheap. Something like $500 a month.

You can pick up a em project for a few hundred $. If you post and ask you can probably get a working one. They are a lot of fun to work on as well as play

My unsolicited opinion says, you are not in any position, to own a pinball machine any time soon. Keep pumping quarters for the next 18 months.

I can agree. I'll probably keep going to my "local" arcade until im able
