    The Arcade1up cabs look so cheap for the amount they charge for them.

    I’m waiting for a decently priced Legends Ultimate in my area. Typically Sam’s Club has them around the holidays but my local store didn’t have any last year for some reason.

    They are just as unlocked as the A1U cabs, but seem much sturdier and more like an official can from arcades of old.

      The point of this post was the ASMR factor, but it did lead me down a bit of a rabbit hole and now I’m ogling $5,000 digital pinball machines.

        I could never go for a digital pinball machine either. It just feels so… Unnatural to me haha. But with real pinball machines comes maintenance I’m not familiar with, and the newer machines are more complicated and many more mechanical parts than a standard one from the 70s or 80s had.

          Exactly. Some of the digital ones have haptic feedback but I’ve never played to know how good they feel, and they are very, very expensive. I don’t even have space for it, really, so I’m just window shopping. :)

      He even notes that his A1U cabs all seem to wobble at around 3:00.
