This pin is in fairly good shape. I played about 8 games on it yesterday (6-March-2015) while staying at the Embassy Suites. The flippers are aligned just fine, the castle worked just fine and the DMD is fine. Yes the playfield is worn a little, but not very much. The cabinet and cab art are in pretty good shape. The playfield could do with a clean and the lights looked a bit dull. The tilt might have an easy slope as I thought it played a bit slow. I won lots of games on it easily.
It's in the hotels little arcade room near the pool. The room is quite small, like 10 foot square. The machines in there are a twin play driver game called Drift, a Star Wars game, some 2 player gun game, a Neo-Geo cab, a sit down pac-man cocktail table, a stand up Tekken cab and the MM pin against the wall. They are all owned by John of B & W Vending and they do quite well for him according to the hotel staff.
There were a few kids in there playing but they generally ignored the pin. 2 kids that did play it, one kid on each flipper, didn't know what the knocker was so I told them it was for a free game. Overall the pin is a good player, much better than it sounds like it was in 2013.

Game is actually pretty beat now, the castle needs some work, the right flipper is not aligned at all and is hanging, there is playfield wear, and the motor for the castle sounds terrible. It is in a kids play area of the hotel and it is overrun with kids beating the hell out of it and running into you. It's a small room with a few arcade games and the pin. Not the best example of this game, Don't play it and let it ruin the game for you. I grew up with one at my local arcade that was well kept up, It's a great game that I played to death back in the day.
