Well after 7-8 years of waiting, finally got my wife and self a SM on Saturday. We played one years ago right after is was released and my wife liked it a lot instantly. It was funny how at first some were kind of lukewarm to it, but then the ratings and reviews became stronger overall after awhile. We find a routed but one that cleaned up nicely for $4500 and have been playing it a lot. No major problems just needed a fuse to get the slingshots working and a few minor adjustments and lots of cleaning. Nice we happened to get if during a holiday (Labor Day) weekend. I'm kind of hoping she'll get on the high score board first as she doesn't have a lot of time to play pinball. Hooked a subwoofer up to it last night which is only the second pin I've done that with and really like the effects. What a great game!
