    Some of us try our best! I think my pins on location play great for what they are. Most of them are players and heavily routed, but in good working order!

    I do put some of them on a very slight lean if it seems to favor draining on one side or the other to balance it out. Players seem to enjoy playing longer than usual. Sometimes I adjust the flippers to make certain important shots much easier. They’re my games, and I want people to enjoy playing, rather than get their ass kicked and walk away. Only negative is regulars blow them up and get tons of replays.

    Quoted from The_Pump_House:

    This right here. 99.9% of issues on our pins are reported by one guy (and thank god for “pinball Mike”)
    People will scroll right past the info to notify me on pinball map about an issue to complain about an issue on a pin.
    The info section states who the pin key holders are and someone complained that the “bar says they don’t have a key”. Well of course the random server you stopped doesn’t know anything about pinball let alone have a key to them

    I wish my customers/regulars would report issues. They just leave shit broken and if I don’t test them every night then I won’t know! We’ve got one local guy that’s a pinball beast who won FORTY-SEVEN REPLAYS on Party Animal. He sometimes lets me know of issues but usually I get “Hey, I just played Party Animal for 4 hours and I only paid $2!! Bring a new game I’m bored. Oh also a flipper snapped off but I kept playing, now it won’t turn on anymore and it smells like smoke. I’ll be back next week”

    One guy bragged to me about how he used to fix pinballs and arcades for a major operator locally, and then 5 minutes after I left Sorcerer locked on. He said it started acting weird and he saw some smoke so he just left it on but wanted to let me know.
    Moron.
    Just flick the power switch, that’s common courtesy!!!
