un -playable

Its all about the money for most of these guys

You would think thses guys would realize that they are costing themselves money. How many prospective customers decided not to play because of the condition of the machine.

Problem is they are so GREEDY all they can see is $$$ in their heads, there not smart enough to think about maintenance or customers walking away from a filthy game...

I put my laser War in a buddies shop, and I'm way money in the hole. I put it there to make a little money maybe, but more for passing on the addiction to people who have never played a pinball machine I know, it's hard to imagine, but there are some out there. My buddy owns a collectors shop, dealing in Sports cards and Comic Books. I thought that would be a great fit. I spend way too much time messing with it. After I cleaned it yesterday, I played a game, and instantly was surrounded by 3 young kids, must have been around 5 - 7 years old. It was fun watching them stare in amazement, as I played. It was much more fun, when I gave each of them a quarter so they could play. The look on their faces is something I won't forget soon. By the looks on their faces, I don't think they will either.

I don't know what's going through their heads. Why pay 3k+ for a new pin like TSPP (just played one on route last night), and then never take care of it?
The field was so dirty you could almost not even see the art! Top-right flipper broken, right slingshot shooting randomly....

And how on earth do I get my picture to show - all other forums just require the ol' [img] tags...

Anyways, that sure is a dirty Fish Tales! I recently bought a 2008 Stern (CSI) which was probably the dirtiest machine I've ever shopped out! Can you believe it, that game was only 2 1/2 years old! Total blackness and barely recognisable art on the playfield. Imagine what happened when I put some cleaner on that baby!
