Here we go again 
. It is a pinball machine first and foremost, it WILL break! PC based or not.
We are freaks and WILL find a way to fix it regardless. It is what it is. Let's play. Looks like a A LOT of FUN to me and good one to those who bought or are considering to buy.
My observation draws on the analogy of P2K system VS anything prior.
From a business perspective, I will source ANY machines I can get my hands on. Six years ago, I was importing EMs - No other importer would go near them. They are 40+ years old - but I can still get the parts to restore any EM from any era.
Solid States - Don't care - Zaccaria, Gameplan, Bally, Williams and ESPECIALLY Gottlieb. There is NO game that cannot be revived.
P2K - Dead MPU / Missing Prism / burnt monitors.. These are proprietary systems. Yes - GREAT technology - but NOT sustainable.
APR has an inventory of over 200 pinball machines (and 80 coming). Of this inventory, there is ONE SINGLE SWEP1 - and I bought this game because my son loved Star Wars.
Bottom line - the assumption that P2K "ca be fixed" is not entirely correct. Just ask the crew at Newcore - P2K's savior. Need a playfield glass ? I can get a standard for $40. P2K will cost $400..
