Use the Pinside map to seek out games on location. Play as much as you can before buying anything. Talk to the operator or someone that owns a few pins. A used Stern Pro from late 2000s up to Ghostbusters is a good value. How handy are you? It will break and you will need to learn how to fix it. Everything you need to know is online so spend some time doing your research. It's a great hobby but don't let it consume you!
