Quoted from ryansherwood:Going to the show Saturday for the first time in hopes of picking up my first machine! I'm new to the hobby and have a couple questions.
1. Does the show normally have a lot of EM machines for sale/play?
2. I will hopefully be riding up with my friend in his jeep. Do you think I'd be able to fit a machine in a jeep? Is it common practice to bring a wrench to remove the legs and a dolly to transport the play field or do sellers usually or the show have these available for use?
I just got into pinball this summer visiting wildwood and asbury park and the EM machines were my favorite. The top of my want list at the moment would be a Sing-A-Long (or Melody) or a El Dorado but am really looking to pick up anything with a cool theme, fun to play, and in the $500-$1000 ballpark. Would also love a Scared Stiff or Creature if I can come up with that kind of money by then.
Scared stiff and creature are 4k to 6k games now. Not sure if you can raise that kink of cash in that time frame.
