As someone who has become disenchanted with the idea of paying 4-6K for a 20-year old used game with questionable reliability, this seems like a great option for home use. Price point is good IF you’re still getting quality hardware. MDF playfield is somewhat concerning, but if there are t-nuts on the underside then it’s a non-issue and my guess is they are applying some sort of sealer to prevent the material from wicking moisture.
Well done…all the coils seems to be firing for Stern right now.
Supply chain and production time might be the bugaboo to shake.
