The 'analog' pinball machines were and are great. Getting my hands on an original working 8 Ball Deluxe machine would be the holy grail for me. I've actually passed up deals on this machine twice...because of replacement parts, if they were available the dude would have fixed it and sold for 5 times as much.

the costs of maintenance and upkeep is getting astronomical....William's still exists but as a slot machine company now, Midway is now part of William's, I don't think Bally exists outside of Hotels. So buying replacement parts from a finite supply of stock must be at an ever rising premium.

Yeah, I will probably never own one anyway. The simulation is neat and cool for people that want to play a ton. If I got one, it would be more of a show piece than a use all the time thing.
