With enough wax the playfield should be fine forever.

thanks for keeping this thread going. That's a great price for a MMR and shouldn't have any problem selling it. I really enjoyed and appreciated reading your threads on operating since I had no idea how it worked and learned a quite a bit about life of a operator and I hope you keep the thread going whatever replaces this machine. Do you have the final tally of the earnings and plays total?
Yes it was nice of you to document the life of MMR. Great, it sold fast too. Life continues for MMR.
Quoted from Okarcades:I'll be documenting the entire life of this game as long as I own it which will probably be forever.
Cut to 2 years later...
Quoted from Okarcades:Game sold In a few hours locally!
The honeymoon period for a new pin is full of such optimism. 
Quoted from Spiderpin:You got to make it past the 7 year itch. Then she's a keeper.
If I buy a pin more than twice, it's a good pin.

26,002 plays and not a thing broken again. This thing has been a very solid game and we are impressed as heck!

That many plays ?

What's it being replaced with?
Quoted from PinMonk:What's it being replaced with?
Not sure yet. Possibly nothing. Earnings have dropped. And time for a change

Are your locations still open?
Quoted from PinMonk:Are your locations still open?
No. City won't allow bars to have groups of 10 or more so I they decided to close until this virus is done. Deciding to sell a few games in the mean time.

Pretty much the same story here. A few bars trying to hold out, but they'll be closed by next week, whether they want to or not. The operator I was helping got out a month or two ago, selling his share of the route out, and I thought that sucked, but it turns out his timing turned out to be fantastic.

Sold for $6200. Total earnings over $17k. Total plays 26,219.
What a great run. So after 3 years the game profited about $6700 - probably had $500 in parts. Quite a few hours in labor.
$6700 ÷ 36 months comes out to about $172 a month. Our business has 2 owners at 50/50 split so it looks like we made about $86 a month each on average
Super happy with everything. Game was a tank and heald up great. Playfield still looks like newish!

...when well maintained. That's the secret sauce a LOT of operators completely miss.
