I've owned probably 50% of the Data East machines at one point in time.
One of the things I didn't like about DE machines was that they all sounded the same to me.
Brian Schmidt did the music/sound on every game pretty much.
For me troubleshooting problems with them was a lot more effort compared to WMS/Bally.
I had a Jurassic Park that I should have parted out/gave away/burnt I had that much trouble with it.
It turned me off pinball for a while it was that bad for me, Fix one problem another would just spring up.
Went through a couple of rottendog boards with it also. I'd never buy another unshopped/as-is DE game again ever.
I burnt an empty LW3 cab a few months ago from a machine I parted out years ago.
Still have a box full of LW3 parts if anyone needs anything. Have pretty much everything except the cab, boards, pf, gun & topper.
