<div dir="ltr">I'm still fairly new to the pinball scene, but I can tell you after buying my first machine that it pays to get something you know you'll want to play. I almost bought a Spin-A-Card for a steal at $150, but it would have been a lot of hassle to buy it, move it, and get bored with the teeny flippers and flip it to make, what? $450? I say it isn't worth the investment unless you know you want to play it. Either wait for the York show as Bob suggested or be on the lookout for games you want.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 11, 2018 at 4:01 PM, The Bob via FSPA <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:fspa@fspazone.org" target="_blank">fspa@fspazone.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div>If you really like classic EMs, sure, it'd be fine.
