Let's say someone produced a pinball machine for $5k that was your Grail theme and the funnest pinball machine you had ever played but the playfield consisted of one flipper, one ramp and three blinky lights. Would you buy it?

Quoted from GotAQuestion:The question is flawed. There's no way "one flipper, one ramp" ever adds up to "the most fun game you've ever played" for me.
Granted it is likely impossible, but for the purpose of the poll it is given that it's the funnest pinball machine you've ever experienced. Could be due to the sound, theme implementation, superior rules, display effects, etc...we don't really need to get into why, it just is.
Quoted from TigerLaw:I don't know about that. If there is a mechanism in the coin door giving us some sort of improper satisfaction making it the best game ever I may not buy it out of fear of being beaten by the wife. It would have to do something unusual given the limitations outlined elsewhere.
A negative to special coin door mechanisms... 
Quoted from GotAQuestion:I guess to a more general question - yes I would buy the best machine I had ever played even if it wasn't packed to the gills with toys and stuff.
I think Total Annihilation is a good, recent example. No ramps, no bash toys, but I'm still looking at buying it. Would love to try it first.
Okay, that's a yes to a different question.
Quoted from ForceFlow:Wouldn't that almost make it a pitch & bat machine?
Except it would use a pinball which could be hit repeatedly.
Quoted from AlexF:1953 Williams Nine Sisters with 3 flasher bulbs installed could qualify... one flipper, one ramp, 3 blinky bulbs. Fun too from what I understand, and the right example in the right circles could sell in that range. This must be the one the op had in mind.
Holy archive Batman! Great find!
