Hey All

I am looking to get a Pinball Machine for me and my wife .. We grew up playing and really like to play, we would play for hours on hours ... I was wondering what would be a good machine to start out with .. We like " target " machines .. We played alot of Count Down .. Royal Flush .. Joker Poker ..

I am know the difference with EM and SS machines .. I an " handy " around the house .. But not sure about fixin a machine ..

Any thoughts ... My budget is about 1200.00 .. I was looking and think I should beable to get a nice older machine.

If anyone has a machine in the New Jersey / Penna / Delaware area, Please email me on PM me .. My email is [email protected]

Thank You all in advance.

Thanks for all the good reply's .. I ended up getting a Stern's " Trident " I like the machine and the setup .. The machine was working great where i bought it .. When we took it apart, to lower the head, something must of been knocked loose .. Pin will power up, But won't start or shoot the ball out .. Game won't start

I am going to post and see if there is anyone in the Phila area, that I could pick their brain, or ask them over for lunch and show me a thing or 2 that I should know .. gotta learn/start somewhere.
