    Quoted from stangbat:

    Put a line of games on location and you'll understand the power switch issue. The employees can't figure out how to turn the games on or off. Every freaking game for the last 60 years turns on and off the same way. Now Sterns are different than everything but an old EM that you kick to turn on/off. Eventually everyone learns or figures it out, but the turnover in restaurants is very high. The new people don't always get the message and your game doesn't get turned on or off. I've had my games unplugged at the backbox because the person closing didn't know how to turn it off. Then the person that comes in the next morning flips the power switch and the game is dead. They see it is plugged in the wall, but don't know that it was unplugged at the head. So the game stays off.
    Also keep in mind that a lot of people that work in restaurants are women. They aren't as tall as us guys and can't reach back to the power button. And if the games are close enough together they can't fit between them to turn them on. I'm not making this shit up, it is a real problem.

    I totally agree with this. My girlfriend is 5'2" and loves playing pinball, (yay), but absolutely cannot reach the power switch on my KISS game. There's a reason the effing light switches in your home aren't on the effing ceiling. Cheap move on Stern if you ask me, and I for one would like to see them reverse it. The latch I can live with and don't mind too much. Nice to see the rails under the playfield again.
