What is the deal with ops and no upkeep on their machines? The wife and I were at a pizza place for lunch today and in the back corner was a Pirates of the Carribean. While waiting for food, I tried playing a few games. The playfield glass and the playfield were dirty, the ramps were hazy from being dirty as well, the left kicker rubber had slipped down at the post bottom and wasn't working from no switch contact, the plunger tip was worn off so metal to metal for ball launch and the display was working but seemed somewhat dim. I could be wrong but it appeared to have issues with the sinking ship stages as well (only second time of playing POTC).
I realize that ops are trying to make money, but this place was a high traffic area and I'm sure would have been worth it to keep it maintained properly.
Only being a 3-4 year old game in that condition made me want to call up the op and make an offer to buy it to keep it from further deterioration.
Do you guys feel the same way when you see the same situation?
