yes, I get paid $1 for every positive comment.lol
I am also on the books of Toyota, whom I really like as well, and from time to time Nissan, which has just put out a great new X-Trail vehicle, just as good as the new Toyota Camry. I like stuff that is well built.
I haven't had any friends or family, or even strangers, ever tell me they did the wrong thing after buying a brand new Stern after I referred them.

Brand New in Box pinballs these days are just like brand new cars, they seldomly ever need a thing doing to them except basic servicing, and the warranty is just as good. Its when you see a brand new Stern get 500 games played on it in one day (which I have seen at a commercial venue) that u realise how well made the new Sterns are. Durable is the word I was looking for. For plug n play without any hassles, new Sterns are great for this pinball industry/hobby.
There are a lot of BNIB Stern buyers on Aussie Pinball. A lot more every 6 to 12 months.
