Hello all,

I have been lurking on here for a while just checking things out... I hung out at a pool hall in NJ for 10+ years and while i was there I became addicted to pinball. Plus it brings back good memories of dad and me heading to Jenkinson's and playing games for 6 hours at a time 25+ yaers ago when they all were not driving games!!

I am now in the market for a pin and was wondering who in the NJ/PA area are reputable people to work with. I have contacted Ron at pinball clinic (mixed reviews here), Diane at shootagain, and BarryNJ (who I apparently should run real fast from). I would prefer to deal with someone in the hobby and not so much as the retailers or flippers. <– (haha that's a pun).

I have been checkin craigslist, ebay and the market place on here to get general knowledge and ballpark prices. I am in no hurry to make a bad purchase, but was looking at a 3-4 month time line.

Is there a seller feedback section on this site? as for now the only reference I have is how many pkp's you have...

Thanks for all the info shared on here so far.

MJS, new to the hobby.

Thanks for all the quick reply's guys... really appreciated.

I do know about the silverball museum, they just reopened and am going there the second week in January with paps to support them as I am sure they took a hit in the pocket.
