ToM is a great choice for a 1st game.
It's relatively stable, very little goes wrong compared to many other games.
It's challenging and rewarding.
I've had mine for 20 years and only now am selling it to make room for Houdini.
Make sure there is no insert wear or cracks on the magic trick inserts. It's impossible to fix that area. Clear coated playfield is a plus if it was done well.
Added pinbits magnet boards are also desirable. As well as colorDMD.
Led conversions are not a big deal as most are done poorly and you can do it yourself.
If it has led's Led OCD is a must on this game as the blink rate has to be adjusted to look right.
Brass trim really looks good on this game.
The game is definitely a keeper long term.
