I've wanted a pinball machine for a very long time. I used to play those things to death in college, sank way too many quarters in to them. I understand that buying one, especially an older one, is only the beginning. You also have to maintain it, fix it, clean it, etc. It would be a labor of love. I also started building a MAME cabinet years ago, but never finished it. I still have the pieces and really ought to finish it or my wife will make me scrap the pieces when we move.
