I'd say the first thing to do is to make friends in your local pinball community, start going over to their houses and talking about how much they have to repair on the machines and how they do it, and THEN find yourself a beater to work on in your spare time.Our Top 3: Choose Your Own Adventure, Comedy Club, CrabbingĪctivities: Cabaret, Cafe, Cake, Camel Ride, Camera, Camp, Campervan, Candle Making, Candlelit Dinner, Candy, Canning, Canoe, Canvas, Car, Cards, Carnival, Carousel. and it's rare to find machines at this price point that don't require a LOT of time and effort to bring up to the level where I'd feel comfortable suggesting them to a first time homebuyer.
I don't sell anything at this price point.Īt amusement auctions, there are occasionally machines at this price point, but there are always compromises. Pinball isn't nearly as much fun when it isn't working. Somebody with 'skin in the game' who might be willing to come to your house and help get your machine fixed when you have bounced it down the road during delivery and now something doesn't work. Try to buy from someone reputable, who will help you as a first time pinball buyer. You can't do that by seeing a picture and swiping right on your phone. At this price point it's important to know what compromises you are making. This is called a 'cash on the glass' transaction. Make sure you PLAY the machine you are thinking about. There are vast areas of the US that have no skilled pinball technicians within a 2 or 3 hour travel radius, and when you can get them, they are frequently booked out for weeks.Įspecially if buying something older, or already broken, make SURE you have a path to getting the machine repaired in the event that you don't have the skills to repair it yourself. which will be not only expensive, but may not be available in your area. Usually in simple ways, frequently in ways that require specialty parts, rarely, but more often when you are starting out with something compromised, you are going to need a technician. A much older machine will have lots of parts that are really prone to breaking. you aren't going to get the same kind of machine. If the average cost of a car is $48,000, and you want a car for $5000. If you are looking at that price, you are looking at something very old, or very compromised.
