It always amazes me just how many very good and playable machines can be had in the $1800 - $2500 range. Depends on who is selling, of course.

Now these are not so called A list titles but there are definitely a number of very good pinball machines to be had in this price range, especially if purchased in unrestored but still good condition.

$3000 should give you a great choice of games, as evidenced already by those listed.
