You would probably save a bundle by getting hold of some local companies 
and ask around.  Start at the local arcades; many of them have a couple 
of old machines up for sale; a quarter will tell you just how well it 
plays.  Also, check the local pizza joints, convenience stores, and bars, 
and find out who maintains their machines.  (You may get stonewalled in 
the bars, due to the fact that most of them have poker machines, which 
are generally illegal in PA.)

Cost:  Around $300 for an old ratchet style; $400 up for electronic.  
(Early computer types, like Firepower are around $400; the current stuff 
is in the $4000 range, used...)
