Honestly for $2,800 you should be able to find a "plug-n-play Dr. Who.......so $300 (real cost)....maybe $500.

Gotcha. Thanks for the feedback.

Regarding the market segmentation, all things being equal, I would agree with you. You hope they would target both. Nevertheless, I think Gary may have seen the opportunity with Wrestlemania to broaden the market to people that might not normally play pinball, and anything that creates more pinball fans is a good long term investment for his business. I think Jack took the same approach with WOZ.

I don't *know* that this is true, of course. Just a hunch, and I could be wrong.

I know I probably sound like a Cactus Jack's shill at this point but they definitely have a higher standard for pinball machine condition than any other place I've been (granted, that's not a huge list ). Dan's note about putting a lot of money into an older machine to get it on the floor rings true because of that level of quality he maintains.

I would certainly back up that statement as well. The standard of maintenance is second to none, and I have visited close to 200 different locations in recent months.

I was directing my question at the OP as it seems his has a massive amount of plays. Would be nice to see how it is holding up.

It may be mentioned elsewhere, but are all machines set at the same price? Or is WOZ $1 while No Fear is 50 cents, for example. If not same price, is the "drop" accounting for total amount of money, or total plays. Assuming total money, but checking.

Most of their pins are a flat $.75, but some of those have the 2/$1 option, while a small number are a flat $.50. I don't think any are $1.00, so the WOZ is a good value at $.75. You can see the prices for each on the pin map. I too am surprised that Cactus Canyon isn't drawing more. That is the one game I for sure make time to play whenever I visit as it is very hard to find on location in good shape.

I'd say...sell that puppy!

I'm really not surprised by these numbers at all. The Top 5 are all spectacular players...and WOZ...well...WOZ is just plain wicked good. So is Star Trek pro...really fun game, casual players pretty much instantly get positive feedback hitting the Vengeance and get sucked right in...and the next three are top dollar pins that everyone loves but may not be able to easily get in their home.

Thanks for sharing this list of earning percentages...really cool of you to share!

Hush your mouth! Some of us love that machine!!

....... Seriously, I would cry if that happened.

That that CC is really wasting space for you.... Id be willing to trade it for a higher earner for you...like NBAFB . You wouldn't even need to kick in any cash- Id do it just to help you out.

It's pretty amazing how well South Park still earns after all these years. Definitely a theme that should be given serious thought to a whole new remake.

Go BOP.

Seeing this list. If you want to sell that poor earning corvette hit me up Still scrapping funds together but that is a pin on my list of pins I'd like to have.

Thanks for sharing the numbers, it's always interesting to see what's popular in a large pinball arcade like this one.

Here's the new Play Meter operators equipment poll. I think Stern's Pro model is still a great deal for operators that are buying NIB games.

Because I had to go look it up, here's a link to one of their polls from last year with the Points, Longevity Points, and response rate defined:

Wow! I knew I had seen a lot of map updates with your name on them but I had not idea.

Yeah I've been to right around 200 locations if you include places that I have had to delete on the pin map due to them no longer having any games. Not counting those, then maybe around 165 places that still have games on site. But as sad as it is to remove games from those locations, I have also been able to track down 59 new locations with games so far to add to the map which makes me very happy.
