Yea, throw away pinball machines since we are living in the consumer age. Have you noticed kids aren't curious these days to fix stuff? All the stuff these days are made to simply throw away and buy a new one, Sterns are no different and so it pains me to see people buy new pins for HUO at these price points. Gottlieb, B/W will be around but this new stuff won't be
Quoted from Wahnsinniger:Well... yeah. How many of those factories had just been making tanks for WW2 when they switched back over.
But seriously, to someone who grew up in the era of everything being made of plastic, these old EM's are very interesting to see how more robustly built things were back then. (Granted they would have cheaped out if they could have; they just didn't know how yet)
It's not that they didn't know how to cheap out, Engineering evolves and machines have always been made based on a result of function.
Quoted from ForceFlow:Pretty much the only lockbars being produced are the ones on modern games currently in production.
Pretty much everything else is used, NOS in rare cases, or refurbished/re-plated.
Your scaring me... I'd like to get one for my TAF but not for another year..
