    Quoted from Pin_Guy:

    What really concerns me is I can see where this disposable technology leads I was recently working on a Monster Bash remake that had a credit dot, the problem turned out to be a failure of the right flipper EOS switch to register as closed; the switch itself and wiring all checks out fine up to the point where it enters the under playfield PCB. This board is roughly half the size of the entire playfield and is a game specific part ... is replacing this one massive board the actual solution to fix a single EOS switch failure? What would be the out of warranty repair cost for this one part be? What will happen when these boards start failing 10 - 20 years from now? Have we now turned entire pinball machines into disposable items?

    The entire main board for MMR was two hundred something - I bought one to stash it for insurance. Nose boards can be pricey, too.
