What should I look for in old pinball machines?

Answer by  Cecilia (2828)

It would seem that the first thing to look for is a very large storage area. This sort of a collection will need more than an extra bedroom.

First make sure the price is right and you're not overpaying for it. The condition of it must factor into the price as well. Don't get something overly beat up, you might look to restore the ones in your collection.

You should look for two basic things when considering add a pinner to your collection. Does it work and how desirable is the machine. You may be into refurbishing machines in that case working condition is less important. There are books or on line guides to guide with desirability.
