Default The best

This for years has been arguably the single best and most recognized pinball machine in the world. I just found one for $300 in operational shape and am considering it.

Yeah a buddy of mine just got one in and I took a look at it and plugged it in. My only problem is I have no place to store it right now so I may have to pass on it

:chuckles: Last year at New Years and Halloween the house we partied at had Links 04, Street Fighter II Turbo, a pool table and a wet bar all upstairs.

Only downside to the vid consoles is that if they go down they are pretty costly to repair. Like the replacement of a reader board, or a circuit set (they have like 5 - 12 different board sets depending on the game) can run the cost up a bit.

Ouch that sucks. I guess I'll stick to Emulators. I just think its more fun to play on the real thing, plus fulfill my childhood dreams of being able to set it on Free Play and not waste all my allowance at the arcades. h:

Yeah I wouldn't mind picking up a Galaga, Stargate, and Centipede console but if they go down I am kinda stuck.

I found a few real mechanical slot machines for ~150 that I want to try to get. It would be fun... Pinball machines are so cool but way too expensive.
