Thanks to recommendations and emails from those that took the time to help me off this group, we were able to have a good weekend run picking up machines.highway and end up loosing it's head, the whole day was a pretty good run.
I got 8 machines for under 1800. They were split as far as EM compared to SS, but the owners I ran into were some of the nicest pinball people I have met to date. Both of my stops were in Kansas and although I watched a deer try to cross the
I was able to get 7 pinballs and 1 pitch and bat. for the amount of money I spent you just couldnt ask for better deals.but prices for used machines, being able to find machines that owners wil let go is still hard.
The biggest part of it was the fact that although I always lean towards EM's and that's just because that's what I learned on when I was taught pin repair, use of that repair word is really stretched, I am not passing up SS's like I use to.
But the biggest part of all of it was the fact that I have heard in the last 2 weeks the same thing from just about EVERYONE. The pinball hobby has exploded and the reason being was the pandemic. I do wonder where it will be in a year from now,
I really believe that we are a marker point with this hobby and it would be cool to see where it is at a year from now. I am watching it and as long as I keep finding those as great as last weekend....things should be fine.
thanks
