Quoted from trilogybeer:

I agree with others who say it is not a good choice for your first pin but my reasoning is totally different . Since StarTrek the Next Generation is th greatest pinball machine ever made anything else you buy afterwords will be inferior and a let down to you .

Let me throw my 2 cent in too. Trilogy is correct about being able to fix damn near anything after getting a STTNG running and keeping it running. I bought a basket case parts machine ($1200) STTNG as my first pin. It took the better part of 18 months to get it back together and working properly. It still has a couple ticks that I'm ironing out as we go along but for the most part it's pretty rock solid now. I started with next to no experience with pinball games and no experience at all with WPC games. Since I finished up, I have worked on numerous machines and even repaired a few for other people. If your patient and read a ton, this game will be fine. If you have to have a game to play all the time every time, I would pass
