Today I voyaged an hour north to get a 1975 full sized pinball machine that I found on Craigslist. I've been looking for months for an inexpensive but still quality, working machine, and I found it on thursday from a very nice guy in Katonah, NY. I was, apparently, the first person to contact him about the machine and although he had more than 30 people contacting him over the next day or two, many offering more money, he did the nice thing and still sold it to me.
It came apart easily and, fortunately, fit in the Saab with the seats down (good to know for future pinball machines...*hums quietly*), and made it to the basement easily and smoothly. It plays great and the kids love it. A good first "real" pinball machine and now the kids are all hot for an arcade in the basement. We'll see what I can pick up over time.
Of course, this entry wouldn't be complete without a picture:
