Two beater EM's just came up in my area today for under $500. I see that there's a College Queens for $550 just put up here, that game kicks serious ass, under a grand, what's not to love.
Go to PPM if you want EM's they are selling hundreds of them, Literally hundreds, I think Larry is putting up 4-5 titles a week, buy one from them, support PPM, they are one of the reasons pinball survived.
Pretty sure it's just you.
