Hey guys, I've been doing the arcade thing for a while now, and had my first pin (Totem by Gottlieb, from 1979) for ages. I'm thinking of getting my first DMD sometime later this year, and wanted some general advice as to what machines are the most reliable, and what are the best to play both long-term and accessible enough for people who just play casually.
I was looking at a Checkpoint, when my buddy told me that if the DMD goes out on them, you're hosed. What pins have DMDs that don't go out frequently, and have replacements available when they do?
Are there any pins that are particularly prone to electrical or mechanical issues, that I should avoid?
I know I want to hold out for something in great shape, preferably that's been shopped, but want to make sure I'm also getting something that's going to stay reliable long-term.
Oh, and of course, I want it to be a particularly fun game
