Quoted from CrazyLevi:I always have to laugh at people who make these sweeping generalizations and have no understanding or knowledge of Pinball history...There is zero evidence - zilch - that pinball machines being built today are of worse quality or less reliable out of the box than the sainted glory games built in the 90s. It’s all confirmation bias by people who want to complain and are nostalgic for something they didn’t experience and didn’t exist: the impeccable glory days of unimpeachable pinball quality.
They are pinball machines. Shit breaks. Always been that way.
Stop your uneducated whining. It’s unseemly and dull.
Nothing specific but pinball history is there to learn from isn't it? If spot welds were inadequate in the '90s, '80s...that should be a lesson learned. Same thing with leaving out inside corner brackets of pin cabs and they split. Why repeat the same long standing mistakes is the point some are making here. That's not a dismissible point. Good engineering learns from past mistakes and anticipates mistakes to avoid going forward.
