[QUOTE="karl, post: 89027, member: 465"] Indiana Jones: Everything about the mini playfield gave me a bigger than life headache along with a ton of other smaller problems that I could not fix on my own like getting the ball to stick in the mode hole + a lot of cosmetic stuff like getting Rusty ramps to look golden again (harder than it sounds and really expensive). Star Trek TNG: This machine had so many ball-trough problems. Just changing the card was not enough. The machine kept on giving me to many or to few balls at the strangest times and ending games after two drains, etc, etc. Along with a strange problem that half the time the ball would not go all the way up the steep shooter ramp and a lot of smaller things that I have chosen to forget ;-) Strangely enough, I have not had any Canon problems yet My main problem is of course that I am pretty lousy when it comes to fixing games and I soon gave up when the problem got too big and contacted a good flipper mechanic (who also had a few head scratches before fixing it) He also told me that Indiana Jones, and TNG especially is notorious when it comes to strange problems. Must be that new ball search thing Steve Ritchie invented for it My other and more important problem is that those machines were far from cheap. (A little over 3000$ each) In my humble opinion (at least here in Norway) the difference between getting something really nice and something that is reported "in good working condition" is around 1000$. Repairs and touch-ups can soon go far beyond 1000$, so for me, (at least until I get in the swing of getting my hands dirty) I feel it's worth it to pay a little extra from the start. I payed a little to much for LOTR, but no big issues on it yet, except for the usual things, like switches acting up and normal wear damage and that at least I can handle, to some degree ;-) I remember that you got your Wh20 at a real bargain price, and if that were the case with me I would not feel so cheated I guess but we live and learn. PS! Nice to hear your WH20 is feeling better. What a great machine that is (when it is working properly of course ;-) ) and sorry for the long rant :D [/QUOTE]
