RE: Home pinball

OK, they DO sort of have a tech agreement, but it consists of having their
distributors handle everything.

Now get this---the machine is not meant to be user serviceable! You can
lift the glass for cleaning and rubber ring replacement BUT NOT THE
PLAYFIELD!! Lamps appear to be LEDs. But the machine is intended to be a
sealed unit.

So, to sum up, about $2500 gets you a game that is NOT meant to be
repaired? Stupid bastards. They are out of their ever-loving minds.

They claim that home use will be low enough that breakdowns won't happen.
