Ok, we all know you ain’t getting a JD, but what can you get? If you had $1,400 for a pinball related purchase, how would you spend it in this market?
I know we take the marketplace listings with a lot of salt, but they suggest with a pin you’d have a choice between some well known and cared for EMs, or an old SS that could be parted out. What’s your $1,400 grail?
Maybe it’s better spent on a reproduction PF and BG for your next project?
Or do you go with the glitzy topper for your new Stern?

Was looking seriously at a Time Zone AND Card Whiz for less than that in partial trade for my flash Gordon.
$1400 will get you a working early Solid State 3 hours before closing at a pinball show.
Or if you have a multimorphic you can buy a couple of nice new games.
This if I have to get it today.
Ugly, but one of the earliest games I consider good that's not an EM.
At the last Winston Salem NC Auction:
1200 F14 Tomcat (problems)
1200 Secret Service (players grade)
1100 Penant Fever Pitch & Bat
The other twenty pinballs sold for more than $1400 each.
And all three of these had problems...
Duh, it’s Judge Dredd, now tell me what I’ve won…
Quoted from jorant:All you need is a time machine and you're all set.
Time Machine should also be a $1400 game, folks.
Quoted from woody76:lower end system 11 or classic stern
Quoted from Blackbeard:ROAD KINGS!!!!
Yup. Sold my fully working one with a half decent PF, and a few minor upgrades last month for $1600 in the northeast. Arguably the best bang for the buck at that time. When I dropped the price to $1600 my inbox was flooded. But one a few steps down would be ~$1400.
Can we include projects?
Comet, Space Shuttle, Firepower, other sys 6/7 Williams and early Bally SS games.

Such an underrated game. I find the layout amazing with the varied shots. I like it better than even HS, which I’m lookin for.
Quoted from chad:But PinBot is on your list to get.
A 1400 pinbot would be a wreck. I would LOVE to get my hands on a really nice pinbot for 1400.
