I attended my daughters soccer club end of season pizza party. The place it was held at used to have a LOTR so I was looking forward to playing it. But nooooooo they removed the LOTR and in its place sat an AFM. Now I'm not exactly a huge AFM fan but when you're bored you'll play anything.

The back glass is mint shape. The cabinet is in awesome shape. I look down .... holy monkey doo doo!!!! I have NEVER seen a playfield that was soooo filthy. I drop a couple tokens in it and fire off the first ball. As I'm playing I keep hearing a slight knock and a vibration in my hand. I look down and the shooter rod is mimicking a couple dogs I saw once heh heh.
Yeah the shooter lane ball switch was slightly bent causing the shooter to think a ball was still there. The playfield has a couple small marks where the flippers were dragging at one time or another. It angered me to see a machine like this that could easily be soooo nice but the OP cares nothing about his games (as I saw the vids that were there were in all sorts of other disarray.)

Anyways the nice thing is I only had to pay a buck for an hours worth of entertainment. Free credit awards rock heh heh
Rant off.
 
Some ops need to be slapped. They run a game till it breaks, then part it out or sell it for whatever. I know some of them do not have a lot of resources, but a broken game will earn no money either.
 
I can't stand when I find broken down or extremely dirty games on route either. I go out of my way to (re)introduce people to pinball. Then, when they are out in town and see a machine on route, they try to play and it doesn't function properly? It really pisses me off...
