You might want to consider buying new balls for ALL of your machines. Worn silver balls can lead to pitting and excess wear in the playfields. I don't think that they are that expensive, and the lives of your pins will be extended.

I would definately keep the rare  roy clark pinball. And maybe one of those skill tops too, just because they look kewl. hehe.
Some of the other stuff, i would get rid of though.  Maybe even some of the crappy pinball machines.  That T2 pinball and kiss pinball would be my CENTER PIECES!!!! heeheh.   I really did like the "antique" look and feel of that roy clark piece.   Man, i need to start collecting stuff like that.  I've never really seriously looked into buying arcade machines, but i think i may start hehe.  It would just look kewl having old vintage stuff around the house for conversation pieces.  :)

Good score man!  Seems like alot of money at first , but when all is said and done, it will work out ok in the end. Just play your cards right and you will probably be ahead.

Groovy, I agree that there's nothing neater than a vintage pinball machine. My dad has a really cool old Gottlieb Big Hit Baseball pin. (like this one: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=253 ) I think it's way more fun to play than any newer multi-level pin.

I plan on keeping 4 out of the 8 pinballs, not sure which 4 yet, as well as the DK jr cocktail and maybe Astron Belt since it reminds me of Battlestar Galactica (assuming I can fix it). I am also keeping 4 differnt Pachislo's and maybe 1 more for spare parts which leaves about 10 others to sell. :) I just found out how easy it is to modify them to accept quarters, and they make auto stop chips so it'll run like a genuine slot machine. They also make "bandit arms" for these, who would have thougght? :)
