Quoted from MrBally:There are quite a few distributors of Stern product that the ones we hobbyist/collectors deal with. Shaffer or Betson alone probably buy more of one machine model than all of the hobbyist/collector distributors combined.
Full-Time route operators pay less for pros that what Stern advertises.
Within about a 50 mile radius of me in the northeast, there are a few redemption arcades, and a small handful of 90s and early 2000's pins. There are two ghostbusters pins....one put on location by a pinsider, another is in a redemption arcade were they got rid of a dozen or so older pins. Another redemption arcade has a Stern Star Trek, but that is supplied by an outside operator, rather than actually owned by the arcade.
Otherwise, that's about it. Most of the pins are older, rather than the latest & greatest.
