    If enthusiasts are annoyed with legs, stop encouraging new owners from using powder coat, off color paint schemes, and chrome. Especially, when they are using the wrong type of legs in the first place out of lack of knowledge, particularly EMs. It decreases the resale value, the game will play incorrectly, and it looks like crap.

    It is also, pretty sad when the front of the legs are polished and shiny, and the back of the legs are full of rust.
    I recently saw this along with a full chromed coin EM coin door, but the inside was all rusted to hell, including the coin returns.
    The owner did not seem to happy to find out he spent a lot of money chroming the wrong type of legs to match his coin door, and yet the rust was all over the back side anyway?

    Mechanics are more important than cosmetics in ALL games, definitively.
    If doing a restoration, people should do a bit of research beforehand and actually finish the job, not do things lazily or not check others work if they opt to have someone else do it for them.
