Quoted from Hellfire:Williams/Bally for sure.
Stern sacrifices quality for profit.
WMS/Bally machine had issues just like the new Sterns. I remember ops pulling new games right out of the box and the machines wouldn't even power up. It would take the op and hour or so to go over the entire machine to get it working correctly. I guess WMS/Bally never had service bulletins either because their design and quality was so high. I even hear that the playfield wood was magical because it never dimpled. These posts are funny.
