Quoted from GoChiefs70:The vast majority of enthusiasts are still priced out, and I doubt many $9K pristine machines are going to be routed, so pinball socialism to allow access to MM probably still will not pan out very well.
Considering plenty of original MM's are currently on route, are still one of the best earners on location, and at a street value well north of $8k, I don't think an $8k price tag causes anything but a positive effect for more on location.
I might even think some operators would replace many of the originals on route with the NIB version, selling the original to cover 100% of the cost, then the public gets to play the shiny new version, and the operator has something that's less troublesome to maintain, and a bump in income to boot.
