Hi all,
I am looking to buy a pin (or two) for a new games room in a pub. I am after suggestions for titles that would sit well in a commercial setting. i.e. have wide appeal, not too fragile and fairly easy to get replacement parts for and fix myself.
I have been lurking a while and keeping tabs on ebay etc but it all seems a bit of a minefield and the professionally refurbished machines from Liberty Games etc just seem to be extremely expensive when compared against the valuations threads on here. I would like to be able to trade games up at a later date so I can change the line up and increase the quality but cant do that if I lose thousands on each pin on every change.
My pinball knowledge ceased in about 1991 when I was forceably removed from the education system and pushed into the workplace so the last pinball I became intimate with was a Bally Party Animal. Would love to get one of those but that would definitely be a nostalgia buy!
Budget wise I can spent 2k, maybe a bit more if I can get 2 pins. Obviously they don't have to be collectors specimens, just 100% working in a 'players' condition. Would much appreciate suggestions and what a fair price would be for them. Or offers if you are thinking of moving something on.
Thanks.
