    Quoted from hool10:

    I don't think some of you folks read what I wrote or even the article. The way your car would be fixed or a warranty would happen is you would bring the car to to the dealership or the dealership would send a tech to the car itself.

    Not many people would drag their game to a distributor. I don’t understand the benefit or how it would even work. I don’t know a single distributor that would support a game they didn’t sell on any sort of scale. They might support one from a friend or one who buys every pin that comes out.

    Also, with car dealerships, the manufacture pays the dealership for warranty work. When I was a mechanic at one, the dealership would always complain about warranty work because they were underbid on the time required to complete the work. I don’t know if a pinball manufacturer will pay for labor. Most times they don’t want to pay for parts.

    …also, it’s easy to want to cut out a distributor when pinball is hot and everything sells, what happen when there is a down turn?
