I am just trying to get an idea of how much that the average person plays their pinball machines and what kind of maintenance that you have had to do on them etc. I am trying to figure out how many plays is considered a lot, how many plays should a game last before the playfield is trashed etc? I know there is no definite answers on any of this stuff but it may give us some ideas on what to expect out of our games. Would you buy a game that has 5 thousand plays on it? 10 thousand plays?

My games are as follows:

TWD Pro owned approximately 2 years. 1700 plays look great zero maintenance issues.

GOT Pro owned 1.5 years. 1200 plays looks great, one switch had a bad solder joint from the factory...easy fix.

GB Premium owned 1 year. 1050 plays, looks great, no maintenance issues.

AS Pro owned approximately 5 months. 650 plays looks great, zero maintenance issues.

Nice games! You don’t play them much do you?

Quoted from RobKnapp:
I Ebb and Flow in and out of pinball . No I have not been playing for the last two years. I have many hobbies . I also compete in the online video game Diablo 3 seasons and my YouTube channel I theory craft class builds for Diablo 3 take 100 of hours of testing . I train for marathons; and do lots of semi- professional vocal music , dance , theatre . I travel to "Grateful Dead" shows . Three this summer . I also am in the coin-op business and have been collecting pinball for 23 years . I have an Attack from Mars that I purchased new in 1996 that only has 365 plays on it . I have started playing pinball again in late September daily . I as usual now I want to buy a NIB machine LE . And the pricing is out of control.

That's awesome, I love Diablo 3. I bet that AFM is unbelievable!

Quoted from RobKnapp:
No wonder you are a really good player . Holy molly . I picked up on this from reading your knowledgeable post on pinside .

He’s probably already got the playfield wore down to the wood on that baby!
