Quoted from seshpilot:This game has held up extremely well. The playfields were made solid and the cabs, while cheap, were nowhere near Bally cabs. Most examples of this game are in decent to great shape. That said, GLWS.
I haven't seen a lot of these, but mine doesn't have any of the aforementioned problems, so we'll have to exclude mine from op's broad stroke "all". In fact, my stand ups and megamode hole aren't as chewed up as op's either, so maybe his statement is just marketing hyperbole.
