    Quoted from gottliebgameroom:

    almost decided on getting a King Pin, as long as it's in my price range of up to 1000, and at least fair condition, working. If anyone has any that they are willing to let go, please let me know, but know that I wouldn't be buying it until June or later

    Where are you located? Do you need it delivered? If you're picking it up yourself do you have a suitable dolly and tools to remove the legs and (possibly) head?

    With a budget of $1000, shipping isn't really practical. That's 20-40% of your budget right there. Watch your local market for tables to have a general idea of prices. Get involved with your local pinball scene, let people know you're looking.

    the 1973 gottlieb EM. It would be good if it were somewhere in the DC-Metro area.

    Unless you know of one for sale it's very unlikely you'll find a specific title, in your area. Most of them have not survived. https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1374
    You have plenty of time before June to figure that out. If you can't find it, consider the add-a-ball version Pin-Up as noted at the IPDB link above.
    Get in touch with NicoVolta at the Roanoke Pinball Museum. https://roanokepinball.org
    He is an excellent educator and if there is a King Pin around he'll probably know.
