It's mentioned in the article, but if you're in NYC, take a trip down to Modern Pinball (http://www.modernpinballnyc.com/).

I'm no aficionado, but paying $12 for unlimited play on around 20-30 machines for an hour was a no brainer, even just to see the difference in mechanics and design between modern day and old machines.

And if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, check out the Pacific Pinball Museum in Alameda (http://pacificpinball.org/). Even more machines for a couple bucks more, and as a museum it has machines that go all the way back to the beginning of the game.

If in Austin, check out Pinballz Arcade - easily more high end pinball machines than you'll find most anywhere.
