Advice

I will be looking at the Spiderman tonight. I am hoping to talk her down on the price? I am thinking 750? She has a Deep Down Earth one as well?
What should I be looking for? I am clueless to pinball machines. :)
ChadTower:
1) Does it work? Play the game and take note of anything that you think should fire but does not.
2) Paint damage on the playfield and/or backglass.
3) Broken plastic parts on the playfield. Decorative plastics as well as functional parts.
Those are my advised priorities for you in this situation. If you become a pinball person then priorities 1 and 2 will swap eventually.
I have never heard of a Deep Down Earth pin.

Sorry it was Middle Earth.
ChadTower:
Middle Earth is a much better game but parts are way harder to come by.

Thanks. I was also looking at a Gottleib Aloha machine. it looks to be in good shape, especially for its age. I went and saw that one last week. The flippers on it seemed so short. Is that the way they are? Also the bell sound was a little dull. My boss told me it just needed to be loosened. He is asking 350 for it.
Do you recommend an older one over a newer model with all the bells and whistles? I am also looking at a Raven for 700. But looking at the sheet of prices on this site...it seems like 700 is too much to pay?
