Quoted from PinballBJB:If it would make you feel any better and if you can spare the time and the money to do it, go attend the Expo. Check in periodically on Larry's show game(s) you have in mind to buy. Play them yourself and watch how much play they seem to be getting and whether people are treating them gently. Then decide to buy or not with some knowledge instead of always wondering whether the machine got abused.
Curious, what exactly would be abused from a few hundred plays at a show? Just get thebugs worked outa d you gettosee it before buying. Go for it.
