Welcome to the hobby! The first thing we tell people looking for their first machine is to get one that's working! You don't want to get discouraged with your first machine.
What era of pins are you interested in? |

For less than $1k, and "newer" you are looking at a working 90's SS machine, and likely a Gottlieb/Premier, and there are some good priced DMD (dot matrix display) in the Gottlieb System 3 family available now and a gain "mostly working". A better budget (IMHO) for something working, shopped and newer would be around $1200. You'd have some choice then. Miracles do happen though if you happen to beat one of us to a local KIJIJI sale!

I don't mind a 90's era machine at all. I just want to get my first machine. And I could probably up the budget to 1200 |

Welcome to the group, you will love it here. Lots of info, even more opinions and sometimes some facts.
It has been said many times before but get a fully working pin for your first pin, makes life more enjoyable. Then, even if you like the newer pins, consider one EM to fill out a collection. It gives a slightly different flavour. If you really want old school, go wood rail! Enjoy! |

If I am back down in the toronto area then I will try to make it to the church. But I've played a gottlieb smb at the trailer park I have a trailer in and love it. Even if I got to buy a machine that needs a little work I am willing to do that too |

Seeing as you already know and like the game it sounds like the timing is right, go scoop that SMB pin in the thread others have posted above before it's too late and enjoy! Oh, welcome to Hotel California... errr... I mean the group! D |
