It was my ACDC Pro at the Gold Coast AFL Stadium with thousands of people there, and a line up at each machine on freeplay. It was put on 3 ball games without ball save. I was there for about 14 hrs from memory.
The games didn't last long at all, a minute or two at best n some kids walked away mid game cause they just didnt get it, or couldnt get the
ball to eye co-ordination thing happening. All little kids about 6 to 12 yrs old.
Hence the machine was flat out all day and never got a stop, stayed durable and never played up once.

Re the high priced pins, its just not ebay and dealers who want crazy money, most collectors also want top dollar as well, nature of the game.

1.7 minutes average... I didn't like ACDC.. found it to be a drain monster and so just couldn't get into the game... flip side BTDK and Transformers are the complete opposite and I walked away mid game as I just couldn't lose a ball at all! Transformers I did 10 minutes on the first ball and left the rest after deliberately allowing it to drain.. REALLY didn't like that game.
Mind you Brett.. that is a new game and in all honesty, 5000+ games should be expected without fault

My ACDC has had 500 games out of the house in that AFL thing, and less than 100 games total at home since purchase.

The other BNIB Sterns have had all less than 100 games as well. I play a game every blue moon but look at them lit up mostly.lol

Keeping them like new for the long run.lol
