Quoted from Pin_Guy:These are literally designed to be disposable machines. Whats worse is Stern took the Homepin design and used it in commercial pinball machines ... this is how the Spike system was born.
It’s a shame, there is market for Safe Cracker sized machines at reduced prices, but they have to be repairable or no one will buy them. Perhaps this is a market another manufacturer will look to capitalize on at some juncture.
