While I can sympathize with the OP's experience, I think selling the machine on principle was actually a bad move. He cut his nose off to spite his face and denied himself the enjoyment of owning a great machine.

One of the things I've learned while doing my first restoration is that there is no such thing as perfect in pinball. If you want to find perfect the closest you'll come is HEP...which is why people say it's better than NIB. But that'll cost you 7-10k extra to get that kind of quality. And I've never heard anybody complain about those prices.

Quoted from lowepg:

While I probably wouldn't have done it myself, I have a lot of respect for someone who actually ACTS (in this case- selling his machine) rather than compromise his principles.... Most people just bitch and complain.
He probably lost some $$$& on it too.... Acting on principle (rather than chasing a buck) ... A lesson I think the manufacturer could take to heart as well.
Btw, I don't think he was searching for "perfect pinball." I think he was far more "livid" with his treatment (after spending $9k ) than he was with the actual damage.
Oh well, A very wise man once said, "when you invest in startup pinball, you get what you deserve."

Point taken. I can't defend the treatment. I just would have played the hell out of it first if I was going to lose money on it anyway.

Quoted from Saveleaningtower:

Live your life like you want. I don't give a crap. Companies still going to put out shit cuz people like you. You want what you buy to be excellent/perfect but go to work and spend all day on pinside resulting in a lesser product than the consumer deserves that's output. Face it, you are the problem as well as everyone else expecting perfection.

Welcome to the new and improved, friendlier Pinside.

Quoted from robin:

I think this statement is really uncalled for. Have you considered that these "burnouts" might be reading your post? Did you speak to any of them? What exactly is it that qualifies someone to be called a burnout?
I think it's really poor taste to post such a comment in an online forum - especially when it concerns the people working in a factory all day. Do you expect them to smile all day long? Do you smile at work all day long? Sorry but this kind of superior attitude really bugs me.

This is why Robin likes me. I know I'm no better than anybody else...and in most cases, probably worse.
