Seems silly to worry about this in a world where people manage to keep 40-year old Atari and Zaccaria pins working.

Quoted from zacaj:We've already seen multiple issues pop up that they hadn't foreseen.
Every single pinball machine ever built ended up with multiple issues that "they" hadn't foreseen, or didn't care about when they were rolling off the line, and yet here we are.
You can easily repair your System 1 or System 80 gottlieb, or fix your WPC GI or reset issue. It's not difficult to get any single pinball machine ever produced by a major manufacturer working again even if it's on the scrap heap.
What's with the tales of foreboding, and the vague intimations of impending obsolescence for Stern games. Have you been clicking on youtube links?!?!
Quoted from zacaj:Yeah, and they all use easy to replace through hole components. Which hopefully you can find, but sometimes you're still out of luck because they're just not made anymore.
But my point isn't that we can't fix issues that may come up, it's that just because Stern doesn't intend to make bad products doesn't mean they won't
Absolutely true.
Why this possibility (which is present on any single electronic product you can buy) would prevent someone from buying a NIB Stern game in 2018 is a bit of a mystery to me.
