    I love working on EM's and the wife loves to play them. She just loves the simplicity of the game play doesnt want to learn a book of rules to have fun. I have been buying broken EM's for the past 6 years and fixing them and selling them for a small profit. So far out of over 50 EM's the only ones that i wouldnt want to work on are chicago coins because of those dam score reeels anything else is fair game. We currently have 5 EM's in the line up and if it was up to my wife it would be way more. Buying and selling them has helped offset the higher priced games in my collection. First time buyers also dont mind shelling out 450 to 750 for a their first pinball machine vs. 700+ for an decent SS game.
