Strikes and Spares as your "first" pinball machine?
Hey all,
I've been a vids guy almost exclusively outside of a Bally Speakeasy I lucked into and had for a few months before trading it to someone for a Black Widow. Just wondering what you pin veterans would think of a Bally Strikes and Spares as a "first" pin... one I hope to keep and really work on. They don't seem nearly as daunting to work on as far as more modern pins in terms of a ton of stuff on the playfield to remove to work on. I don't have a lead on one or anything and before I start posting WTB's I figured I'd get some opinions. I know Pinball at the Zoo is coming up next month and maybe there would be one I could try out, but my schedule doesn't look good for going.
