Quoted from tomh52722:I am ready to buy my first pinball machine and have received a lot of good advice on the kinds of things to look for before buying through this forum. Does anyone have any suggestions on which machines I should be looking for in my price range ($1,500-$2,000)? It would be for my wife, kids and I to play. Looking for something with multiball. I have also looked a lot at the pinside ads around my area (Davenport Iowa), but if you are in that area and know of any for sale, please let me know. I have been talking to a really nice person with Judge Dredd and Jack Bot for sale, so I am leaning towards one of those, but thought I would post this first to get some additional advice prior to pulling the trigger on one. Thanks
a quick warning because of your location.
DO NOT BUY from oldpinballer/ Dean/ Kevin/ whatever the hell his name is in Rock Island.
He is a fraud and takes advantage of everyone he can.
Here is a recent thread where he pulled yet another scam.

Do you research before buying so you can avoid guys like him.
He has been know to lie, cheat, and steal. he often has all sorts of pathetic stories he uses to try and get people to sell him games cheaply and then turns around and jacks up the prices and sells crap.
