Quoted from knockerlover:the boards aren’t serviceable.
This is what makes me nervous on both the remakes and the new Stern games. I'm not sure why either company has moved to theee boards that can't be serviced.

Quoted from Mr68:I hate to say it, but its smart business
Quoted from knockerlover:It is from a sales perspective for sure
I may have missed this point being discuss (so apologies) but how so? Future board sales?
Quoted from Dayhuff:As for the replacement boards. The boards will fail given enough time, from a single lamp not working to a row of switches out..., it doesn't matter what goes wrong with it you'll have to replace the board. I'm guessing $2-$300 ??
This problem is only for the CGC and new Stern games correct? Not an issue facing JJP or Spooky right now?
Quoted from Magic_Mike:Most newbies don't know how to service their boards anyway when there is a problem
The lack of ability to do board work isn’t limited to new hobbiests. I depend on the kindness of my friends when I’m having a board issue.
Quoted from spazzman90:The community has been amazingly resourceful for getting unobtainable parts made. If there is demand, it will get done. I don't have any doubts
While I agree with this generally it does depend on the continued popularity of Pinball to sustain such a market for hard to source parts. If Pinball takes a down turn five years from now boards may be become scarce.
