Bally, 1995Just re-added NBA FB to the lineup. Considering a fourth machine. Among those in contention:
- ACDC Premium
- MMR
- TOM
- JD (plus something like a Skee Ball machine)
- NIB Stern (likely a ST or MET Pro)
- Something I haven't thought of.
Any suggestions?
I like theme and artwork. We have young kids do something appealing to them is best.
Get an AC/DC Premium. Set the insult level on the lowest setting. If there is a particular song that you don't like of feel that it's inappropriate for your children, then you can change it. Replace it with Barney's theme song... Whatever... Customize it then never look back. 
ACDC Prem or ST Prem (not pro - you need this light show for the kids! 
)
looking at your lineup, ST Compliments IM & WCS better than ACDC would IMO. So I say go with that - its been extremely popular with guests and kids too.
ACDC is a great addition too. I found my wife and guest housewives really took a liking to ACDC. But it is an ass kicker!
JD and a skee ball....come on, who doesnt love skee ball??
I'd get something on your list other than ToM--it is a beauty but gets old quickly. On the plus side, it is easy to play even if you are not the most skilled at controlling the ball--might be good for the kids. Shrek, Flintstones, Batman DK or PotC might be fun for your kids--if any of them appeal to you you'd have to check them out--I've only played Batman and thought it was very cool.
Keep the suggestions coming. 
I think I've eliminated a NIB Stern. The only two active pins I'm really interested in are Metallica LED Pro (eliminated by my wife due to the electric chair of all things) or a Star Trek. ST seems pretty similar to SM (which we've owned in the past) and the original series is my least favorite. Silly maybe but I love the theme.
I don't think my kids would enjoy the JD as much as I would and the skee ball machine got a lukewarm reaction (we already have one of the small Sears-brand Harvard Roll-a-Score machines).
That leaves:
- MMR
- TOM
- TOTAN
- ACDC Premium
Probably in that order. MM is my grail pin (ever since I first played it at the 2003 TPF) so I'll get around to picking one up someday. Since space is limited, I thought it might be fun to pick up a TOTAN or TOM and enjoy it while I waited for the HUO MMRs to pop up.
TOM makes the list as it's the first pin my wife really enjoyed. Her grail pin of sorts.
Wish I could find one locally. It's such deal killer to ship a single pin.
