Am I the only one who always puts the play field all the way up to service something underneath? I really never use the pegs, or the slide rails for that matter. I hate crouching and trying to solder something.

And I just ram the playfield back over the hump. Never had an issue.

They are $5K commercial money making fun things. Drop a dollar in one sometime.

I still don't understand this complaint. I'm 5'5", and I have no issue turning the game on or off. Some of the waitresses at my location are shorter, and they have no issues either. Is it just that people don't like any changes?

He hates the pegs so much (rails are what, $45?), he is going to spend $3K more for other companies pinball machines? Or just not buy pins all together?

That's how my pins are set up at location. No issue leaning to turn on or off.

I never saw the art for the premium, only the LE and Pro. Do you have a link for it? I'd like to see it.

I don't think I'm trying to defend anything. I just think being upset about Stern removing the service rails off of their machines is kind of mountain/mole hill situation. I have games on route, I probably open the hood a lot more than home users, and I've never had an issue where I've decried the lack of rails.

I've never used any of the balls that come with the games. Just use the shiny balls from PBL. And I think you used my quote out of context. I was really asking the poster if the operator he knows refuses to buy Stern games because of the lack of service rails, and instead buys games from Stern's competition. Or has he just stopped buying pinballs for his route altogether. Because if he refuses to buy Stern's because of the lack of service rails, and instead buys from the competition (who's games cost thousands more than a Stern Pro) when the cost of rails are $45.

Sorry if the question I was asking was obtuse.
