These machines are like classic cars: they are specialist pieces of equipment and need constant care. If I sell it to someone who just wants a working machine, they’ll be fed up after five minutes – we’ve got to choose the right customer for it. Someone who is able to tinker.”"

Liar. You don't reimport containers of games to NOT sell them.

My second pinball machine was an electromechanical game. Most of them (bingos excepted) are not THAT complicated that an average person couldn't get through them.....they're just lazy and don't want to learn. When you properly rebuild an EM game...they require very little other than being occasionally played to stay in good condition. I haven't had to do 'maintenence' on my Crescendo in 5 years, mechanically speaking.....just the normal cleaning and replacing balls and rubber. If you're too lazy to do that, don't buy pinball machines.

Modern solid state games break just as much 8f not more, are more expensive to repair, and may require SMT soldering skills which is a hell of a lot more of an ask than adjusting a damn leaf switch.

Yes. Because 5+ people saying you're wrong and that it's not every HDHP plan is certainly invalidated because you called YOUR PLAN admins and they did what they said they would in YOUR DOCUMENTATION FOR YOUR PLAN.....

Meanwhile, tons of us have HDHP plans with nothing given by the employer. Maybe someone that needs this info will be smart enough to read all sides and make a decision for themselves and not just blindly accept one side or the other....but let be honest....most of Reddit is Americans (like myself).....odds are bad.
