If cleaned properly, the EM’s will last for pretty much beyond or lifetimes. Most guys haven’t worked on an EM, so I think they shy away from them. Just my 2cents.

If you have room, I would suggest considering a ball bowler.

Quoted from Mopar:

This United bowler was the first machine I owned. Went through it back in the
early 90s, and never had a problem. Most of the time it doesn't get played for
months (maybe a full year), but always fires up and plays well wish is kinda unusual.
It's not uncommon for the score reels to get a little sticky if not played now and then..
Surely ball bowlers are the hot set up, but a shuffle can be just as good of a time when
playing with competition, and if you can land a Target Shuffle such as the Playboy, that is
also at least as much fun..
I'm into the vintage stuff. Like that oak and hard maple..

I started with em’s in the 1990’s. Now only have one EM pin. They operate better the more they are played. The relays/switch edges get dirty and sitting around gets them dust covered.
