Interesting, four years ago on the RGP site seems very few people gave Diner high marks. I owned one a few years back but sold it. The wife was not happy about that but the machine got old(very repetitive). I did powdercoat the wire ramp red and it really did make the machine look better.

My first pin was a Diner. The theme went well with the gameroom. I powdercoated the wire ramp red and it looked great. New ramps and a well waxed playfield made the game look and play great. Same GI problem as discussed, just changed the connectors on the inner connect board. My wife's favorite game but to me it just got old and I sold it. I had it for two years. I then decided that ramp games bore me especially when they deliver the ball right to the flipper for you. No longer a Richi fan.
