[QUOTE="dtown8532, post: 220943, member: 320"] The first two, King Rock and Liberty Bell were payment for shopping a Williams Aztec. Trust me, they were filthy (20+ years in a barn) and I spent many, many hours cleaning each piece of metal. The Hits and Runs my dad picked up from a local antique shop that just happened to have one. The Target Pool I bought from a friend's wife's uncle who had it in his basement for long time. The Top Card I did buy off ebay from a local seller. And, the Sunshine is a David Silverman "leftover" from that huge auction at Morphy's in which he liquidated the Baltimore Pinball Museum's collection. It, along with about 20 other parts machines, were bought by a guy from Europe that wasn't able to get them home. So, he left them. A friend of a friend led me to seeing them in his garage. The Sunshine was, with the exception of the backglass and legs, complete and in pretty nice shape. I picked it up for a LOW price. When you factor in I'll have to spend $300.00 for a repro back glass, it's still worth it. You can try craigslist or, if you're lucky, local shows. Unless it's a really popular title it's hard to get much more than $500.00 for a shopped EM in decent shape. I live in PA so I go to the Allentown Show (Pinfest) every year and the York Show (Whiterose Gameroom Show) sometimes. Not this year though. Once in a while you can find some good deals at pinball shows, especially in the flea market if you want a project. Auctions, though, are usually a joke. Prices, typically, go too high. Especially when you factor in the buyer's premium. [/QUOTE]
