In order to help the newbies, it might be a good idea to start a reliability table for pinball machines.
What i have in mind is based on users experience. For example i have a dw, ts, spiderman and tf. The dw never breaks down and i have had it for years. Ts: the wall target at the end of sanctum occasionally breaks down as it is only held by one screw underneath which gets undone. Spiderman never breaks down. Tf: the cube occasionally falls off (it is only held by one screw again). So in my table: dw and spiderman are more reliable than tf and ts.
Might help newbies get a grip with what tends to break down in pinball machines and what needs more tlc and what needs less tlc (they all need a bit of tlc) to help them in their choice of a first machine.
