very very reliable, the new sterns are very well built. This is the 1st and only stern pinball I've owned, and I must say I'm very pleased with both the quality, artwork and reliability.
The minor maintenance issue i have at the moment is with a micro switch, which do wear out from time to time, easy fix.
I just can't say anything bad about this pin, it ticks all the boxes for this pinhead. Hope this helps.
Just put the question to you because a local tech i had out to repair my Shadow a few weeks ago
said in his opinion i'd be better to avoid the late model pins and stick to the 90's Williams/Bally.
Everyone has their own opinion.
Personally i liked the GP i played a few weeks ago up here, but not worth $5500.
