Welcome.

Your request is a bit broad - a bit like saying "where can I buy a car"?

What sort of machine are you interested in? Electromechanical, Solid State etc etc

Any particular theme interest you?

Bit more info will probably bring some responses.

Once you have 20 posts you will be able to access the Trader section, might be something of interest there for you.

If time and money are both part of your budget best to make an arrangement with Tony (The Pinball Shed/Warehouse) and at the very least you will get to look at 20~40 machines and get a better idea of what is out there and at what prices.

 $.$ and  %)% to Aussie Pinball !

Please do not fall for the "impulse buy" - as are doing here - ask PLENTY of questions. Advise is free !

I think Oscar from Pinball Memories has a Stargate. I have several ST TNG machines arriving next week. The sole Dr Who is already reserved. Obviously we are both based in Melbourne. Don't restrict yourself to JUST QLD based sellers. Avoid eBay - It is simply a shopping window for newbies
