Its probably true that most old school operators rarely did proper maintainence. I think operators these days with new Sterns would be a bit more switched on cause they want to maximise returns. Having a machine anywhere not properly working is just dumb IMO. Sort of like renting out a car that has a mechanical issue, u just wont get return business. Most older school operators from what I have seen didn't even bother updating roms, which again is a mis-step cause a lot of games play sooo much better with updated code.
You could always do a post on this forum asking specifically for any AP member who has a NO FEAR machine in your area......
