Wanted: Pinball Machine

Looking for a cheap and functional full size real deal arcade style pinball machine. I've known a couple of arcade owners that lost their buisnesses and were selling the machines for less than $100 just to pay off rent and such. However I've never had "that much" money when the opportunities were around. Now I've got about that(Hooray for Christmas). Hoping that maybe someone knows of someone or something. Not too particular about condition as long as I can play! Love the ones with the little ramps too!

Please reply here or send an e-mail to paragon75stingray@hotmail.com if you have information that could lead to me having a new pinball machine!

Thanks!!

Just in case you don't get my IM, I have several sources for what you are looking for. I collect pin balls, juke boxes, slots etc. Local coin op shows will have scads of this stuff.....not cheap..but really good cool. They stopped making pins about 1995.

WHY IS THIS POST SO HUGE ? or is it just me?

I didn,t know Pinball Machines where so high priced. I would have to sell the vette.

I've got a Terminator II - 1994 version....bought it at a show 4 or 5 years ago, now doubled in price at the last show i was at.

Really cool recent pins will run 1K to 1.5K at the shows, there will be several of the same version usually there, so you can work your magic with the
vendors. And play the thing for free to see if you like it.

Older ones, 500 -800 for something cool, but not very challanging, 10 - 15 y/o's are plentiful. All parts can be found relatively easy.

Antique mechanical ones run ya under 500, but these are slow and very worn of course. Cool in their own way, like a C1.

So as Arnie says " Don't move....I'll be back"

Wow...just got the PM..and had completely forgotten about the thread! My roommate just disappeared over winter break...so now I have the same space and half the people!
