    What's the machine in your lineup that almost everytime you turn it on, a new issue arises?

    For me, it's Gottlieb Genesis! I swear everytime I turn on the machine I keep my fingers crossed!

    JD. Every other time I turned it on I would get the dreaded dot. Never had a serious issue but always something minor. Drove me nuts.

    My Star Trek TNG seems to be like that. I get all errors fixed and then 20-30 plays later I get a through error or a switch error. A cleaning/resolder almost always take care of it. Until the next one.

    Gottlieb Haunted House. I still own the machine but it takes the most maintenance of all the other machines I own put together.

    My Sinbad has been a headache since the day I bought it, and it was my first machine. Oy!

    I'm sad to say I see a running theme here with the Gottliebs....

    The clock in my TZ sometimes gives me problems. I had to buy a box of Q-tips (to clean the optos) and leave it in my pinball cleaning bucket of goodies to save the trip to the medicine cabinet.
