Pinball will only survive with education. Until pinball is sold in Harvey norman or Bunnings etc, and the masses see it being marketed, the pinball onsite will soon be prehistoric, except if u own Timezone at Surfers Paradise IMO......
How does Pinball ever become popular again onsite. or is pinball onsite a prehistoric dinosaur replaced by home users only etc..... 
I've been saying for years pinballs on site are dead it's a home use hobby now, that's why stern have it right why make a expensive strong cab with better decals when most will be in a caring home environment for most of there life even putting cliffys on is a waste of money when it'll be lucky to have 20 games a day played on it at home they will last for years. Sterns pricing is spot on 6k for a pro that plays fine and the odd LE with some bling. All jacks machines start at 8.5k what a waste if money unless I get a earthquake who gives a shit if the cab is made stronger it doesn't matter it's in my home.
P:S: I've been to timezone twice on the Gold Coast and both times it was hard to get a game on the pinballs during school holidays.
