Quoted from bluespin:jacksparrow0112 That's a nice pick for your first pinball machine, one of my favorite 90s pins. The best way to find a well maintained pin (especially your first) is by networking with fellow pinheads. The best way to do that is by joining a local pinball league. You can find a list of local pinball leagues here: https://www.ifpapinball.com/ I also suggest that you talk to Mike Burgess, the owner of Fort Wayne Pinball. He's a really nice guy and has been in the hobby a long time. I realize the seshpilot and gryszzz live farther away in Indianapolis, but they are also great contributors here on Pinside and I'm sure they would be willing to help you in your search.
Fort Wayne Pinball has a beginners tournament on Tuesday May 29th at 7PM.

Haha! I don't really consider drunken one liners and daily doses of death metal "great contributions" but thank you Bluespin.
You are 100% spot on with Mike Burgess though. Although I haven't had the pleasure of meeting him yet, he IS a pretty big contributor to pinball in our state. Thanks for all you do Mike!
