Quoted from JaredSP:First question, for someone like me who really knows nothing about maintaining and repairing pins how important is it for me to lean toward a new machine over an older one. Do pins usually need lots of repair?
My 2 cents. Because they are mechanical, all games will break down at some point. Some of my older games have needed less maintenance than my newer games. You can pay someone to fix your games, however doing so can get expensive over time. Read the forum, check out pinwiki and learn how to fix games yourself.
Quoted from JaredSP:Are they easy to update?
Yes. Put the code on a USB. Plug the USB on the board, flip a jumper. The manual has instructions on how to do it.
Quoted from JaredSP:What does the code do for the machine and how does it change things?
Code is what runs the game. As the code changes, the rules of the game change.
Quoted from JaredSP:am i hurting myself by not getting the LE version.
Personal preference. IMO - the ACDC Premium version is far superior to the Pro version. On the other hand, Metalica Pro is just as good as the Premium and less expensive.
