after extensive review here and on youtube, I determined that the only way to learn about visual pinball would be to take the plunge(r) ha!

I plan to add the Idaho plunger to have a proper-looking table, but at the price of $299, including shipping and no tax, I could not find an alternative to my Switch and vertical flip grip.

I found one used Micro on eBay for $250, with a. plunger, plus shipping and tax. I also considered the Cleveland Software OnePIN mini...which of course I would then need to figure out the display and CPU and operating environment.

I think the Micro will incentivize me to build a full size cabinet and go for high end electronics, or it will tamper my enthusiasm and save me a ton of money!

So my question for those who bought ALP Micro's, was it one and done, or did you go down the rabbit hole this hobby requires? thank you.

I watch these You Tube guys like Way of the Wrench with awe, but am way over my head.

Is there a place for beginners to learn the basics? The most I have done so far is to play (vertical) pinball with a Switch Flip, and I love it!
