Hi peeps,
ive been lurking over the last 6 months looking for a machine to buy. Decided to hold off as we’re going to be having a house extension. I was tempted as a few were on here for sale.
The extension has given me another 6-9 months pondering time.
I am definitely looking to purchase a pin after this timeframe. I’ve looked around the forum and most members seem to be based central - where as I’m in Devon. I’m completely new to pinball and I would have liked to get to know some members located closer to me - and get some advice.
I’m really keen on Heighway’s Alien Pin, I love the theme and everything about the playfield, but I know the company went under. Beyond that, the JJP Hobbit was another I almost purchased.
Is the Alien pin a bad first move? It seems hard to come by one for sale. But it just is perfect for me from all the videos I’ve seen.
What regular maintenance is required as a pin owner, and are there any threads, sites or videos that would help me further with this? I’m not technical on pins at all, owned an mvs cab in the past. I want to make sure I’m not biting off more than I can chew.
