Hey guys, think i'm ready to buy my first pinball machine.
My short list would be cyclone, hurricane, high speed.
Through my searches these seem to be on the lower priced side.
I like roller coaster/amusement and auto themes.
Cyclone is literally the top of my list (one i remember from the boardwalk most), but as i learned with arcade games, you gotta look for more than one at a time, or you may be waiting forever.
Any reason i shouldn't be looking at this bunch?
Am i correct in assuming that these are all about $1000-$1500 pins in fair working condition?
Any others you guys recommend for a starter that aren't going to break the bank?
I don't mind paying less and doing some mechanical work, i'm a licensed electrical contractor and all my hobbies are all hands on, but i suck at anything that requires artistic skill like painting. So i should assume i pay more for one with a good cabinet over one that works better?
Parts plentiful for my choices?
Thanks for any input.
Joe
