Quoted from pinheadpierre:I also decided that the crummy vinyl wrapped wood would not be going back on the playfield. It always astonished me that manufacturers went that route. Seriously, how many pennies did they save by using that instead of real oak?
It would have been enough even for a run of 8,100 machines... not to mention the rest of the machines they built and sold. It may seem like pennies, but it adds up in a very big hurry.
