That is a very tough machine to start out with for a first pin. Fun to play no doubt but a little on the finicky side. Frustration is part of the hobby but if you keep at it I think you will find it is well worth it. People here on Pinside are very helpful especially when they own the same machine. Keep your head up there will be plenty of mistakes learn from them and just keep moving forward. One of the key things is to take your time and meticulously think out what you are going to do before you do it that will help reduce the amount of mistakes made.

I did the same thing and learned a lot in the long run it was well worth the money I paid.
