Quoted from pinballaddicted:This video is exactly what is wrong with our hobby. Too many whingers and complainers. If you do not like it do not buy it. Please remember that this guy imported Stern machines in to Australia bypassing the Australian Distributer. Plenty of sour grapes there.
Do not be surprised if he pops up as a distributer for another manufacturer in Australia.
Gary Stern is that you?
Quoted from John_I:How does this detract from the fact that thousands of Williams Bally machines failed early due to poor design? I can fix them too, but that's not the point.
Early?? I've got tons of Williams Bally. I didn't have this issue until they were 15 years old or more. How is that early? Early is having your Stern node board fail in less than a year.
Quoted from John_I:Not to mention they were designed to last three years and then be put in a dumpster.
Williams / Bally seemed to have done a terrible job hitting that target from my perspective seeing how I have more than 20 of them that are operating relatively trouble free 2 decades + later, but hey... Williams / Bally isn't making pins anymore so maybe Stern knows more than I'm giving them credit for.
