not unless they upgrade there quallity controll department.the main boards are practically all surface mounted components


I am finding that move really hard to fathom (other than as a pure cost saving decision). The industry learned through Capcom's efforts that surface mount and pinball are not a good combination. Hopefully the techniques being used now might have improved the ability for this method to survive the high vibration environment.
