That's not how they roll. They just want to piss and moan. I've asked several times how their games are set up and their numbers of modes achieved in one game. Crickets... I guess they expect marilyn to reach out the coin door and give them a handy.

Today I collected on my first full week of Munsters Pro public operation. The game exceeded expectation and drew in a couple of 'new' players that are regulars at the bar whom ignored LOTR and Transformers Decepticons LE for the past couple months. I know all locations are different, but I'm quite pleased with it so far. The question is if or how fast the play will drop off. I'm trading in TAF for the transformers in a week or two. Should be an interesting combo of Munsters and TAF in a 2-pin location.

No shaker for public operation for sure. It's one reason (although not the primary reason) why I'm ridding of my Transformers LE. My primary focus is robust, unattended operation. I know that is different from most, but that's the main reason why I bought Munsters Pro. It was a comicon show game and came to me with about a 1000 plays. I played a couple hundred more and snugged up everything before placing it. I hope to run it for months without repairs. It's a simple, fun, attractive layout. Out of 600 unattended games, 2 lost ball feeds and 0 missing-ball game starts. That makes me happy.

The wireform isn't plated.

Sorry to tell you, but all pinball machine play turns to "chopping wood" once you master the game. It appears that your play was more like chopping wood learning. Until one demonstrates relative mastery of any pinball machine, they don't really appreciate the nuance of the game. Watch any papa video and if you follow the suggested strategies, it all becomes wood-chopping once you master the drain vectors and rules set.. on every game. I own munsters. I bought it for more casual players and it earns just fine in that environment. I enjoy the play. I think the game plays almost just like Ironman. Everyone loves that game, don't they?

I think your empathy is broken.

I've played pinball 40 years and work on them for a living. I, too, love the game. I think it plays just like Ironman that everyone seems to love. I bought the game to operate. It's on location now. I probably have 200-300 games under my belt and I still love the game. I've played them all at one time or another and munsters is a great casual game. I kept my Munsters over an LOTR I sold just a month ago.

Learn the strategy..

Learn the drain vectors..

Chop wood.

Aren't all pinball games like this? I think you guys are letting your fantasies impact your expectations. I love my Munsters pro.. and I'm comparing it against my TAF, LOTR and TSPP. I've owned about 50+ pinballs over just the past decade. Believe me when I tell you they all become chopping wood once you master the strategy and drain vectors. I still love playing pinball, but these days, I don't expect to be overwhelmed with amazement every time I play.
