Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

Do you know about Lost Ark?

Quoted from wolfy:

there are at least 25 or 30 collectors in Greensboro Winston Salem area send me an email and I'll put you in touch with people that are selling games

Quoted from ebjimmyg:

i see plenty of machines for sale on craigslist and mr pinball in virginia. have you looked on those sites?

Quoted from robertmee:

No such thing....You don't start collecting with games you want. You start with games you can find, fix up, play, learn, sell and pocket a little sweat equity and move on to the next one. If you sit around waiting for the games you 'want' you'll be waiting a long time. There are thousands of pinball titles out there....How do you really know what you want

Quoted from Matt_Rasmussen:

As a fairly new owner (I don't say collector, because my games are not collector quality, they are player quality and up to damn fine, but not collector), I suggest that you keep your mind open for great deals on classic games, or, sleeper games. You can probably find a really nice Baywatch for not much money, I know, I know, it's not on your want list...but that's what's great about it. It's a fun game and is fairly complex in operation to give you some good experience in working on them before you spend a lot of money.
I think a misconception with new owners is that if you buy a machine in good condition it won't break for a while...yeah...right... . The biggest lesson I learned is that you have to have the right tool for the job, and the best tool purchase I made were some long handle magnetic nut drivers, these to be specific...

They work great to get into those tight spaces for repairs. I also bought a real .093 molex crimper, a real professional one. It's really nice to not have to hold the damn connector, put the wire in to the right position, and then try to crimp. Just latch the connector in place and push the wire in until it stops and crimp until it releases. (all my Minneapolis metro area pinballers that need one and don't have one, just look me up, you can use it all you want )
Otherwise, welcome to the club, playing pinball is one thing but owning a machine or a few is an entirely different animal. You really get to appreciate the quality arcades out there when you see how often they need adjustment (or you just wanna buy a new coil or something...)
