From Mars!
After years of hoping, today marked the acquisition of my first Pin, A Bally Attack From Mars (http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?any=attack+from+mars&search=Search+Database&searchtype=quick). This is one of my favorite pins, and when the wife and I made our short list of potential tables, this one was the highest on both our lists, so when one presented itself, I crossed my fingers, and went to have a look.
Lucky for me, the guy who sold it to me, was very knowledgeable, and has kept the machine in excellent condition. Aside from a burnt bulb, and an unlit LED (probably a wiring issue) this machine plays as close to new as any AFM I have ever come across.
Here it is -

I just wanted to say thanks to Chad, and all the other Pinheads on the board who repeat the mantras of "RGP" and "marvin3m", in helping me become more informed about what to look for.

Awesome!
I have two pins, The Simpsons (the original) and Pinbot. However, neither one is in my home right now. The Simpsons is sitting at my parent's house, and the Pinbot is at my aunt and uncle's house. I'm planning on picking up another one (or two...or three) once the wife and I move into a larger home.

Nah, just a looong time planning and budgeting. Definitely worth the wait though. :D
