I own MMrLE, AFMrLE and MBrE, Sterns and several WPC games. From my personal experience, the CGC remakes have been rock solid and extremely well built with the least amount of problems of the 3 groups. Stern NIB had several issues but once resolved had very little problems. WPC games had the most problems such as reset issues, power supply issues display issues etc. Its always a crap shoot buying an older game. People like to say that WPC games are easy to repair and that may be true but the cold hard truth is that the vast majority of pinball people do not know how to do board work and would not even know how to begin to troubleshoot and diagnose.

Moving forward, all the major pinball manufacturers now have a computer (beaglebone black, spike etc.) that drives their machines. They have several years of active duty in homes as well on location. There is even a thread documenting an MMr on location. I would not hesitate to grab a remake, tweak it to your liking and enjoy.
