I see your point cave
I have been wondering if I'm better off getting into an older pin first and over time moving to the DMDs, but I can't help thinking that a DMD has more to offer and so will hold my attention longer

I like that idea Narf, i'm happy to get a pin that needs a really good clean, and an overall shop, but I'm not looking to be restoring a playfield or fixing anything major

I wish i had the $$ and space for 2 pins, but I've gotta be realistic and 1 cheapie needs to be what I'm looking at first time around
so something like a fish tales or judge dredd would be what I'm looking for?
