What's the first pinball you've gotten?

The very first pin I bought was an old EM Lady Luck. I sold it and used the money to by a Meteor. I turned around and sold it.. and now I have my Spy Hunter!
 
Gottlieb Monte Carlo. Never got it to work. :( Then I got my SMB pinball and that was beyond amazing.
 
Black Knight. It's been broken for quite awhile, so I need to spend some time to get her up and running again...
 
Gottlieb Charlie's Angels. Got it dead and the playfield really crappy. I learned about everything there is to know about pinball by reworking all of the boards, and doing a complete playfield restoration. Then after a few months of fun play, I sold it so I could start the upgrade journey.
 
No Fear

It actually came out of my local arcade at the mall. I used to play it ALL the time. One day I saw it was for sale, and I gotta sweet deal on it. It's cool to have the actual machine that I used to play all the time from my local arcade. The arcade has been long gone now....so at least I own a memory of it!

High Speed, like 6-7 years ago. It played great. I found a NOS playfield for it and it's worked 95% ever since. It's beautiful to look at but I miss the problem free gameplay.
 
My friend and I went halves on a storage unit auction, and it had 3 in it, F14 Tomcat, Dr Dude, and High speed. I had the F14, he had the Dr Dude, and the High Speed was in his basement not working. I ended up selling all 3 for cash and a ms pac cocktail. I got the cash to go towards my down payment on my new house, he got the ms pac cocktail, so everybody was happy.
 
Mousin' Around 5 years ago. Never played it before until I bought it, but saw it locally and the playfield looked cool, and it was only $600. Very glad I own it. One of the funnest games I have ever played. Now I need a 2nd pinball at some point to keep it company.

First was a pinbot that had only seen 1 year in an arcade and I have owned it for 10 years. Was my first purchase on ebay and it was a hassle. $750 The guy selling had no clue what to do and eventually I had to pay someone to pick it up from him, crate it, and air ship it to me. There were still jackbot parts back then so I replaced the visor targets and still have a new skill shot ramp in a box.
