I suggest you go to a good pinball show with good EMs. Not just average EMs, but restored models that play as they should. A lot of people play sub-par EMs and don't like them, not understanding that they are 40+ years old and tired. If you play nicely restored models, you're bar gets set properly, and you're opinion on EMs will probably be far different. I would like to suggest our show, the Ann Arbor Michigan pinball show (may 13-15), as a good play to explore fully restored and properly playing EMs. http://vfwpinball.com
