For what it's worth, if you were closer than Illinois I'd jump on this machine. (To buy it outright).
I personally am wishy/washy on this hobby. I am not a slot person. I had bought a few for my gameroom some years back. (Bally 6000s) and have upgraded here and there. I now have a Bally Alpha video (Lucky Luigi's and Poppit), WMS BB1 (Super Jackpot Party) and an S2000 I dream of Jeannie). If I can get an I-Game for a reasonable price I will swap out the S2000. (Preferably a Munsters or Jeannie). I was big into pinball (huge into pinball before my kids came along). I have finally accepted a realization. That is that I prefer to work and repair pinball more than I like to play them. (That is where I am going with slots) If it weren't for two pinball machines, I'd be way in the hole. I'd buy machines, spend a ton to get them perfect (even as far as swapping playfields a redecalling cabinets) and then I'd lose my shirt when I'd sell them. Luckily 2 machines made me break even. (A Medieval Madness, and a Monster Bash)
I've really added nothing to this thread other than a bump.
