Quoted from Deez:I think stern needs to enter the low end market by producing a stripped down machine for 3k that will appeal to the lower end market like some operators and collectors. 8k bucks for a pinball machine is ridiculous. Even being able to afford that much for one, I would never even consider it. 3k I would be in and I'm sure there are others. There needs to be some games that appeal to the players and not just collectors.
Your saying it's the manufactures, but I think it's the hobbiests that will pull $7K+ out of there bank accounts for just hearing, "Bally Williams parts", "LCD screens" and "bring pinball into a new era" with a play field sketch on a napkin. Want drives production.
