Funhouse was excellent.  The puppet talked some good trash.

There was one that I spent the better part of a summer playing that I can't remember.  It had a big T-Rex hanging in the middle of it.

Junkyard is kinda fun too.
Yup

You can generally get some older ones pretty cheap...problem is that they have a TON of problems that are quite annoying to fix

A pinball machine that comes with an attractive lady. Does sex appeal extend to every single product?

haha, maybe we can go halfsies?

there is a place up here that sells completely refurbished older games, I haven't had a chance to get there in large part because if I came home with a 400 pound pinball machine in our 2 bedroom condo, my gf would kill me =) one of the good reasons to buy a bigger place

This is true and, especially with the older ones, people who can service them are getting harder and harder to come by.

I own a `53 Seeburg jukebox.  The thing is a peach.  I had it in my old shop, and it's now being used at a friend's done over basement (really cool retro cellar - he a very pinball machine too).  The guy I bought the jukebox from deals in pinball machines too.  He had some pretty cool ones.

This is what my jukebox looks like

Yup

Unfortunately I don't get to enjoy it anymore.  But it's in a happy home until either the guy can afford to buy it from me, or I can find a place for it. 
Yup

is it customizable? or does it come with certain records loaded in that you can't switch out?
