Wow. 20 years?

That's quite a story... curious, how did you find the slam tilt issue? Just visual identification?

Quoted from Axl:

That reminds me of the gilligans island machine I bought. The owner got it for his 40th birthday.
When I bought it he was 57, so 17 years he had it. He said that he had been playing it a lot, and loved the game. Judging by the wear on the chest insert, and the pitted balls I could tell.
He had never done anything to the game, he didn’t know how to remove the glass.
The whole motor assembly to the island was gone. That means, the island would never turn. You would never get the ramp down for jungle run. Not for kona either.
In other words, all you played for never worked. 17 years! Insane.

That, right there, speaks volumes about what 99.9% of people that step up to a game understand. Basically nothing. Which is modern pinball's inherent flaw!

I'm sure you don't come across as a know-it-all. But you must come across as some kind of a wise guy.

I always find it rarely - if ever - goes well
