I'm getting the bug I can tell. Since money is tight I'm looking to either trade some of my arcades for one or just buy one but my cash flow is only going to be around 800 - 1200 dollar range. If anyone is in the Cincinnati area and is interested in helping me that would be wonderful. I've looked around CL but have only seen a couple that has cought my interest that is in my range. I seen a Terminator 2 that is pretty good. Also Demolition Man but I would like to see if there is anything else. Does anyone have anything or know of any better way of finding pins besides Craigs.

Thanks guys..
 
I sincerely wish you luck on trying to trade for a pin. I've tried this several times and no one wants to trade a decent pin - always some crappy EM or SS that is worn out.
My advice is don't even waste your time trying to trade. Sell your games off and then buy a pin outright. $800 - $1000 "typically" will get you a C list game in fair shape. Keep in mind - the machine may play but the chances are you'll find there are so many worn out parts (and once you realize how sluggish the game play is you'll hate it) and before you know it you'll drop another $200 in a blink of an eye. Welcome to the dark side ;)
 
I kinda figured that trading wouldn't work out that is why I'm looking at 800-1200 cash. I don't really want to trade off the arcades if I don't have to anyways. I was hoping that maybe someone here knew of something in my area or could give me some pointers on what to look out for. I'm trying to find something that's not totally ragged out and nothing super old. There has to be something mid to late 80's that is decent for around 1000. I don't mind paying for repairs later on it's just dropping that initial large amount of cash up front that is making it difficult.
