New-ish collector and old appreciator pinball. But now considering my first NEW pinball machine Cactus Canyon Remake.

Until now I know where I stand with parts (3rd party), reliability, maintenance (Self) and support (Many fans and forums is a GREAT).
Buying any new table seems a bit of gamble on parts, reliability, maintenance and support (Company). An example being new machines LED fixed and harder to replace. Few 3rd party replacement boards.

Has anyone got any advice on this subject and chicago gaming company tables parts, reliability, maintenance and support?
 
I have a Chicago gaming afm which has behaved well for the year or so I have used it. I also had a original afm which was up inside my house for 3 years and never missed a beat.
I have had a stern iron maiden le which failed after 2 hours costing £240 for a node board. Most of my modern stern and jj pins have been fine
Suppose it’s luck ? and What condition the game is bought at and is maintained to.

think you will love ccr and with Phil’s 2 year warranty you are good to go
 
i`m lucky enough to own near enough mint originals of MM ,MB , and AFM all have been reliable ,heard nothing but good reviews about the remakes so i have ordered a ccr
 
Thanks everyone for your comments.
Yes now placed order for CCR. Specially after company cleared up a few issues outstanding from showing off game at recent US convention (e.g. extra cost of software).
