Quoted from vid1900:That's funny.
Have you seen how many issues the MMr home users have had already?
In 5 years where will you get a new MPU board if CGC goes under?
Would no replacement boards being available be considered an issue?

I mean, I hope the CGC stays in business forever, but much larger, better capitalized companies have gone bankrupt or live on in name only .
MontgomeryWards, Compaq, Wang, Kodak, Schwinn, CircuitCity, Bridgeport, Craftsman....
I don’t think there is that many issues. I’ve had mine for two years - it’s HUO but has been used at a tournament and I’ve had -zero- issues with it. None, nadda, zilch.
Buying pretty much any NIB Pinball today has the risk of the manufacturer going under or even worse the manufacturer that you have no relationship going bust (Proc for example). I have a faulty board on my Stern Star Trek that’s unique and a hundred bucks replacement! I doubt there are many of them around. Original sound boards for MM are impossible to find now. Pinsound works but it’s not perfect and what’s to stop them going bust?
Get the game play the fucking bejeezus out of it and life is good.
