Welcome! This hobby is a blast with many tangents to explore. Do some research, go
to shows and meet as many people locally as you can to see what else is out there.

Quoted from duckkillerclyde:The wife agreed that we should probably be purchasing a machine every 6 months to a year. I think that's fairly reasonable. I feel like a goal of a dozen or two dozen machines is acceptable.
Problem is We're going to be moving to our home on the coast in a year or two. As an avid bird hunter, I already have so many things to move. Waterfowl decoys like you wouldn't believe, then there's the classic cars I started buying while I was in high school.
I'm not wealthy, I just don't sell things that I own. If I did, I would spend the money and not have the item or the money. LOL
I feel like I need to get at least a dozen machines quick then have a cruise in with pinball. EM machines seem to be the only ones that interest me. I don't enjoy the sound and feel of any of the machines I've played from the 80's and 90's. Maybe I just haven't played the right ones. Not too many arcades around here. Maybe I'm just old fashioned for being 39.
If you come across a GTB Spiderman, Haunted House, Sinbad, Black Hole or Mars:GOW locally,
play them and see if they are pins you enjoy. I'm also into EMs but also have quite a few
early SS pins and consider them to be very good. The usual route new pinheads take is buy
everything in sight, restore and play them, then sell off the ones that they don't like.
Its how many of us have explored the hobby and takes time but sounds like you are well
on your way.
