I’m wondering why some pinball boards seem to cost so much. I can buy a decent TV for $300-400 which must have plenty of boards inside, but if I need a replacement light board for my WOZ, it can be up to $200 for just the board.

This is a legitimate question. I don’t want to fault any manufacturer, but is there some reason why boards for our hobby are so expensive. Is it that they are produced in much smaller numbers and are so specialized? Is there something else I’m missing — for example, maybe my TV is less complicated than I think it is?
