wall street journal article... no more EM pinball fixers?

[mudfud]

well, they don't know about us, do they?

my dad cut this out for me a few months back, after he and mom so nicely drove to Moro Bay area to help me pick up my first EM, the SF machine.

given how many mechanical switches and relays there are, I really could see the repair of many EM machines too expensive for average folks.

are the newer ones easier to maintain, since they have more electronics to handle the switching?

hope you all had a happy turkey day, and didn't gain too much weight last week
