I don't know if they just forgot to fix that side or they cut corners but either way I found myself under the hood with little or no Pinball repair experience attempting to fix it. Which i did. Thank god for painters tape.
2. They are fucking expensive. So unless you're going to buy a hand me down project that you'll have to recondition yourself your stuck buying one from a pinball dealer.
3. SPACE. You'll need a lot of space for these things. They are huge. Make sure you have a furnished basement or a very large living room.
4. Noise. They are a little noisy but it doesn't really matter.
Hope this helps.
EDIT:
I hope I wasn't overly negative about them because they are truly amazing. I can play my machine for hours but if you don't feel like spending the time, money, and aggravation on it I would just suggest you buy this version or the PS2 one. Both are great. Got a lot of tables. Fun for everyone.
