I would like to talk and find each defect ("point faible" someone can translite this world)of some pins like spiderman 80 the paint goes out around the insert, freddy it's always the broken claw,fire the plastics ramps is breakable,creature from the black lagoon someone told me it's always one plastics broken, elvis the rubber on the mini playfield is to much lower and the ball sometime jump up and fells down on the playfield, last action hero,this game is very dark (missing some light)and you have to play this game with the light open on the game room ...So it will be interesting if some guy's of maaca put a comentary (defect)of his game.

"point faible" would translate to weak point...

From what i owned or know out of my hat:

-CFTBL: snackbar and kiss lane plastic, snackbar scool hole wear around the edges
-GnR: AXL scool hole wear, AXL and Starburst plastics even thou someone reproduced them (but they are not identical), rose plunger missing, gun missing right black handle, G Ramp cracked at entrance (repros availables)
-STTNG: CANNONS GET MAGNETIZED AND ITS DRIVING ME NUTS !
-IJ, No Fear, AFM, FT (and a lot of others): vibrant cabinet colors gets faded
-Time Warp (i know, old game: missing the banana flippers and especially, the BLUE flipper rubbers... only yellow are availables when you can find them.
-TZ: slot machine scoop and target, clock boards

You're right... i know this is a magnet, because they mentionned it on another site.. but there is wear around it for sure !

The balls seems to be dropping from the top of the ark as seen on the picture...

Cirqus voltaire have some weak point:fragile plastics,ring master just the contacts under the ring master sometime replace
data easttftc,lah,lw...)all game that we need to shoot the ball and that goes on the target,the target's gone to broke and the target of data east is not strong
I didn't see some weak point with Getaway other than when you have to sale,maybe people look the years (92) and think that is simply game,I don't know
Can some other member can tell me the weak point of getaway or other game?

I've owned a few GetAways, some things I normally look for:

- faded cabinet, very, very common. In fact, my first GetAway was black and white, I had no idea there should be colour  
- busted super charger plastic. This is the plastic right in front of the super charger. Quite often it is broken from air balls.
- wear from shooter lane to start of upper loop. Since the ball travels along this path alot, there is often wear there.
- wear or chips on the inserts of the RPM inserts. These are lite quite often, they heat up, lift up, and then ball starts to chip.
- often need to replace targets as they take a beating and the game is 15 + years old
