Pinbot, hands down. Enough were made that the price stays reasonable on them. You can get a good fully working players condition for $1000 no problem. Besides, who doesn't love pinbot?

Quoted from Law:

Pinbot's not that great... It's a classic but it just doesn't have the staying power for me.
I'd also go for a Flash Gordon, Barracorra, Space Invaders, Centaur II, or a good late EM like Mars Trek.

I guess it depends when you were born.

As for Centaur II, Barracorra, and Flash Gordon, you won't find those in working condition at $1000. Space Invaders you can find under $1000 because it is a BHWBB (big heavy wide body beast).
Comet & Sorcerer can be had for under $1000 working. I'd still take Pinbot over any of those.

Quoted from rollinover:

not mine, but the seller is a nice guy and very solid.

Unfortunately nice doesn't make a game worth more. I've tried that 4 times now and it hasn't worked!

Quoted from BadBrad97:

That is so cool. I bought Pinbot because of the movie "Big".

I probably did too subconsciously. This was a favorite growing up, and I knew it was Pinbot back then.

Go with him to Allentown. Leave with a machine.
T2 used to be the "go to" $1,000 machine. Sadly, no more....

The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line January 14th, 2015. Human decisions are removed from strategic pricing defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-inflated at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, January 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
