Copy editing nitpick:
When you click the token to add more, the dialog text reads:
Superfluous "quotes" are a personal "pet peeve" because when you "see them" it feels like the message you're reading is "disingenuous."
See what I "mean?"
Drop the quotes! Nobody is talking, it's not dialog.
I do *not* see any choppiness or lag on my 2012 Nexus 7, KitKat 4.4.4 (non-rooted.) I should be running the latest table, but I'll drop & re-install it to verify.
Turned off the camera locks, turned on the multiball and event cams: still plays fine.
EDIT: and after a drop and reload, it's...
I'd be surprised if it was aimed specifically at FarSight/TPA. "My client's fee is $(X)."
Add me to the virtual beer club. I think we'll be funded anyhow, but I'm loving the cushion. Looking forward to seeing the final total.
I think the PAPA folks are planning to talk about it in their next Twitch.tv stream:

A little boost can't hurt, right?
I think FarSight does demos at shows, so I'd think they must have some kind of setup for this... unless it's just an employee standing by to reset the machine after shenanigans. :-)
Find room in your budget for a good-sized Android tablet and you can be the demo machine. "Honest, I need to buy...
I think RBION has/had a "museum mode" like you're describing, see this topic.
Sounds like this pretty much locks down the machine, though. "Kiosk mode" is what it's typically called for PCs, I think. You may be able to find software to force kiosk mode, and then run TPA through that, if you're...
It was the first machine that I really remember playing: a massive thing with two (!) sets of flipper buttons, the multiple levels... just plain cool. Virtual isn't quite the same (and it's fast in TPA) but Gottleibs of the era all appear to be pretty brutal.
Interestingly, I was hoping for BH...
I happen to live close enough to the Pacific Pinball Museum (PPM) which is just about as excellent as life can get for a pinhead:

Grew up bumming around in arcades (and haunting the back, where the pins were kept, of course.)...
We call this "planned obsolescence" these days, and it's not a new concept. Pins were reflecting pop culture for decades before TAF.
Home consoles pretty much killed the arcade, and pins with them. Any product that, by design, bashes itself to play has a built-in lifespan. It's why I'm so...
This is a general problem, and not a new one. When the TPA game is suspended and sent to the background and then resumed, not all graphic assets are reloaded when the game resumes.
It's noticeable in a lot of places, like the various LCD score displays. As soon as the game refreshes that part...
