    When Stern came out with their Spike system years back there was a lot a negative comments about it. Repair Cost, durability etc
    Wondering what people are saying about it years later?

    I think it's shown the Australian blowhard with his slanted video that he was dead wrong. Very few node issues considering volume out in about in public and private collections

    I think the numerous different versions brought out during the initial implementation of this system are very likely to cause a huge headache for future owners of these machines but I think Stern have sorted out most of the initial issues now with current builds.

    As long as they stick to the SAME few boards moving forward I think that would be fine. If they continue changing them every game - that will be a huge issue down the track.

    I've owned nearly every Spike game and currently have 11 of them. Never a single problem. Solid system indeed!

    Pretty amazing that a thread got 5 replies in 5 minutes. What a busy website!

    I've owned 19 spike games, had a bad node board on maiden pro, which stern replaced free
    Of charge, even though I was 2nd owner. But, that was 2-3 years ago.

    Well that's good to hear I guess!

    Looking pretty well unless they all have a shelf life and die at once.
