Quoted from polyacanthus:Thanks for the encouragement and insight. I did incorrectly use the term "restore", to be clear I wouldn't be looking for a full restoration candidate right off the bat- more like something that works but needs some maintenance. I'm assuming rubbers, lighting, targets, that sort of thing should be fairly readily available... Where's a good place to start looking for parts like this?
As for the money part, I've been involved in high power rocketry where you buy expensive motors and literally set fire to them- so pins have to be more reasonable than that, right?
You sound like you're going to enter the hobby in a good way. You are going to love it. I would look for a beater of a routed machine that is a decent title in the top 100 with dirty/damaged playfield parts. You will have some work making it look and play good again, but it's better to learn by fixing one thing at a time than something you can't play. And at the end of it having a machine with depth is a lot more fun than an old EM
