    A very honest passionate review of where Pinball has gone in the past 10 years. Exactly what us owners are thinking and need to look out for. Thank you for your good work on this clip.

    Viewer from Sweden. Recently opened up eyes to pinball. Love your video! Honest! Constructive! Experienced! Repeatadly consequent, and on the buyers side. Wow if there only could be more people making reviews like this! Great job!

    Thanks for the great video! I live in the USA and have been debating over a newer stern game. Thank goodness i came across this video! I would have gotten a machine and would have been a bit shell shocked on repairs. I just didn't realize it would be so much to repair some simple problems. I think i will wisely look for an older machine first and move my way up. thank you so much for the video! It helped explain a lot to me!

    I grew up playing the old electro-mechanical pinball machines in the 70's. They may have been simpler but they had more charm. I also prefer the stenciled cabinet art on the old machines art over the cheap garish decals on modern pinball machines.

    I'm glad to see an honest review of new generation pinball machines. Maybe the only honest review I have seen in a very long time

    From someone who has always been a fan of the game but is now just getting interested in purchasing a machine, this video was very educational and produced very well. Thank you for your hard work.

    This is an excellent video with well-articulated concerns. That being said, something important to keep in mind is that while many of these changes are inconvenient to owners and operator, these and previous cost-saving measures are likely one of the reasons we have new pinball machines to discuss at all. Let's not forget about the great pinball crash that took out everyone but Stern. Of course now, the market is becoming somewhat competitive again, with Jersey Jack, Spooky and others entering the fray. Perhaps the increased competition will cause Stern to step up.

    Thank you Mark for your objective review. My timing for discovering your video couldn't have been worse. Later this week, I will be taking delivery of a new "Munsters" pinball machine. Oh well, I will just have to cross my fingers and see how it holds up. Because this is my first Stern machine, I very much appreciated seeing how the back-box and coin doors are latched. So I benefited from seeing your video anyway.

    Late to the game but thanks for the vid! My family was in the coin op business so I have been playing Pinball for almost 50 years. I stopped seeking new games when Williams went out of business. I am lucky that we have a place in Lyons Colorado US that has a ton of decent machines and whenever I get to Vegas I head over to the Pinball Hall Of Fame to get some time on old EM machines and classic Williams tables. The first machine I owned was an old Williams Lady Luck EM machine.. Nice to see someone still spreading the love.. Gave you a like and sub..

    This is an excellent video! At the SFGE show, one of the vendors was pushing the new Stern stuff hard. A couple of machines were experiencing issues with the node boards, having been taken out of the box new at the start of the show. I'll keep my late 80s and 90s WMS games, though I really would like a TNA from Spooky. Great game, and very supportive maker.

    Great info. As someone considering purchasing a pin ball machine, this was extremely informative. I feel equipped to go to my local (Chicago, IL USA) supplier and talk intelligently about the various components and manufacturer revisions.

    Great video 👍 more connections more issues but connections are improved. Replacement of bulbs was easy back then twist and plug but now we need a butane hot air solder iron to replace bad LEDs. Stern and other companies are following this method because it's cheaper and more reliable. I like to see updated video this year.

    Awesome video, very informative, glad there's some honesty about these machines especially as most retail at around £8000 you want to know the pro's and con's.
