I got started collecting by buying a Champion Pub and No Good Gophers for $60 delivered. Had no idea of the deal I got. I got it from a person that was selling stuff from a agency on a base that did not know anything about the machines. That was in 2000. Second best deal was my Gorgar, Blackout, Defender (not pinball) and a Monopoly game from Franklin Mint for $250. The machines have been home use for most of their life. I am hooked.
