Interesting point = KISS pinball filled the coin box more than any game of that era. I recall "service calls" due to the fact the the coin box was full and blocking the coin chute

Yep, it copped a hiding in my local haunts back in the day as well.

The old girl cops a bagging for its gameplay when most of the other Bally titles from the period were very similar.  It's just that KISS is the top shelf collectible out of the bunch, and people assume that the playability must match the high price tag.
