I just found this
http://www.pinformer.co.uk/
Not too many machines listed on it but then not a surprise there isn't many left. I also had a quick Google for machines to buy -£7000 for an Adams Family! I guess my dream of having one at home has just gone out of the window. But my lady would put a hammer through it ater a week anyway, lol.
Buzz, yes there is a knack to playing pinball. First of all you have to know the game, know which targets to hit and when. Most of them are 'feature' games, basically you hit a target to light a feature then hit the targets lit by the feature. Light all the features and the game goes into another mode and the game gets harder but scores more points. Most people are rubbish at pinball because they try and hit anything on the table, you have to target the lit features or you'll score peanuts.
It's considered acceptable to give machines a gentle shove as needed. The trick is to get to know a machine and how far you can go with shoving it. Some might say this is cheating, but it's fairer to let the machine decide what an illegal shove is -in other words a 'TILT'.
