7 years and still didn't get it, yet.

I made a list of about fifty machines I wanted on my dream list. Twilight Zone was on there but about three quarters down. Everytime one came up it was either not good enough, too expensive or I had committed that month to buy something else on the list and was half way thru paying that game off. 7 years later, I still want to buy a Twilight Zone in great orig nick and at a sensible price, same for Addams Family, but something weird happened, Stern started making excellent brand new in box titles and all my last buys have been new Sterns.

Everything is crossed off my 90,s DMD list, except Twilight Zone and Addams Family.
But people want really stupid money so I just keep getting pushed to the brand new Stern Pro models.

I am kicking myself I missed out on a new in box Twilight Zone I found in the original box at a general store, hidden out the back and boxed 6 months after it went on site. It was replaced by a new one and the company never picked it up. The 6 month old one developed a fault on the board. The shop was in the middle of no where. Allied Industries never picked it up and it went off their radar til I found it 15 something years later. This was Apx five years ago. I did the deal and it was mine. Then the grandson got involved and wanted ridiculous money. Oh well. Close but not close enough.
