After buying 3 BNIB Sterns (and having almost every Sega Gary Stern manufactured) I love the recipe. A Stern or a Sega has NEVER let me down.
Tons of fun n well thought out games n rules etc.

Yes, Avatar n Transformers were bad cost cutters, but everything else has been excellent in my opinion.

I like all the old stuff (any brand) late eighties to late 90's pinnys as well. Hence the 40 plus machines I am addicted to n own. Even my 1978 model Phoenix is well cherished. These dam things get into your blood n they just never let you go. Pinball isn't a hobby,lol, its an addiction.

Oneday, women around the world, will talk the medical fraternity into saying n believing, husbands have "Pinball-idis".
An acute or chronic ailment of the wallet n mind involving an item described as a pinball machine.lol

I think most of us have the disease.lol
