Wow... I don't think I would have even noticed that line - it looks like a clear coat scratch to me. This is one of the reasons I rarely buy anything that is new. As far as the other stuff, I feel that everyone makes good points. I'm new to the pinball ownership rhelm (about a year too) and there are a lot of things I don't quite understand yet (fix-it wise). And yes, pinball games probably were not orginally intended to be in people's houses. If they were, then why do they have coin slots on them?
That's why I thought is was extremely odd that they were putting them at some Best Buy stores (I think that idea failed). The normal person would have no clue how to do simple things like adjust a switch.
