Quoted from houseofpin:Good point that to some $20K is not a big deal. I guess to some pinsiders $20K is probably cheap.
Where I come from we have a name for people for whom a $20K pinball game is cheap. (We call them rich bastards.) I spent $6K on my MB a few years ago ($3K for a used game + $1K for a new cabinet + $1K for an NOS playfield + over $1K in new parts) plus a week's vacation used to carefully assemble everything onto the new playfield and into the new cabinet. And ever since rebuilding it I play it less than any of my other 14 pins, just trying to keep it looking great.
