All of what you said is absolutely why ePinball won't ever feel the same. It's a shame - with the price of a "real" machine being 5 digits (USD), I can't ever see myself owning one.. but damn, I want to.
- LeifCarrotson 3y ago5 digits? There are lots for 4 figures, going rate seems to be around $5k. And if you're willing to fix one up, they can be had for 3 figures instead of 5: https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds?s=1&keywords=&ad_what%5B%5D=machine&ad_wantedforsale%5B%5D=forsale&min_price=0&max_price=2000&pinsider=&machine_type=&ad_machine_manuf=&year_from=1931&year_to=2023&ad_condition=22&ad_countrycodes=&ad_states=&radius_distancekm=0&sort_by=ad_time_placed&sort_order=DESC#results https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds?s=1&keywords=...
- slipperlobster 3y agoSure, but everything I've seen in the 4 figures range is MUCH older than I'm looking for or needs MUCH more work than I would like to put in for my first table. Every year, I go to an annual pinball convention in my area. The tables that are 4 figures are the old 70s and 80s tables. Hell, one I've had my eye on (Fish Tales [1] from 1992) is averaging about $5,700USD on Pinside. [1] https://pinside.com/pinball/machine/fish-tales https://pinside.com/pinball/machine/fish-tales
- jxramos 3y agothere's an interesting middle ground virtual pinball case that's an approximation. This fella built his own case and everything in between. It was a fascinating project to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxilHoceiNo&list=PLrqlHbqP7FIO5P8e8HtrBB01xqQtAWpJ5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxilHoceiNo&list=PLrqlHbqP7F...
