    Quoted from snaroff:

    LOTR...the quality is stunning...has had more plays than my entire collection combined x10 and still looks better than some of my newer games. One switch replaced in 16 years

    Strange, EVERY Lotr I have come across has needed the fork switches at the VUKs replaced many times. They were simply crap switches during that run. Putting Cherry brand switches in instead of the factory Orion brand has been the only way to permanently fix them being flakey.

    Quoted from CubeSnake:

    and the crap they produce has the durability of a soap bubble.

    Ssshhh! ..Don’t tell that to my games...

    Quoted from Darscot:

    It's generally accepted in every mature business that used sales hurt your bottom line. Feel free to disagree and discuss

    Upping quality would have zero effect on used sales, it would only hurt the bottom line.
    The difficulty of properly tweaking a pinball machine is up to the owner, or they can physically take the machine back to the distributor to let them do it. For free.
    That’s the model, and don’t forget, these are commercial products, designed to make operators money, Stern has that mindset. Like it or not.
