Healthy now?? With a fleet of sinking ships and everyone's gold aboard, it's hardly a healthy time.

Quoted from belairjoe:agreed..on this point.but I consider that more of a business failure than reflection of the hobby
See, I see it is a perfect reflection of the hobby. Everyone thought pinball was gold, and there could be no failure. New niche manufactures, people wanting to buy, it didn't matter "take my money" "sign me up based on a whisper of the theme alone", or someone who had a small part in an entire manufacturing process announcing a machine..
How anyone could have thought two dudes in a basement could make something that meets that of Williams is ludicrous.
There is only one smart way to buy - when there is a physical machine, you make the decision based on the code at that time, based on nothing else every happening. If you can live with that, you can't really lose.
THAT will be the future of pinball purchasing, foreseen and already enforced by those of us that didn't get blue tonged with the new flavors of kool aid the last few years.
