I'm new to Pinball and machine ownership and I have some questions on parts availability down the road and questions as to what parts I should order now. Currently I have a Metallica Le. I've bought some extra parts, mostly on the play field, ones that will get beet up quickly. Here is what I'm wondering
1. How long will the manufacture typically continue to make parts for a specific game mechanical or cosmetic(should I be hoarding parts)?
2. Are there mechanical parts that I should be buying now to stock for the distant future(disappearing ball, motorized cross, hammer)?
