Topic: TS black top coin op... good or bad?

[KickerMan]

I can buy a TS black top coin op for $200. What should I do? It is my understanding that these black tops were made by a company called Mazzco, and that their tables were inferior in quality to the original TS tables. I was wondering if Mazzco's coin op model was a decent table after all? And if it would still be worth $200? Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the advice Marty! And that it is a coin op won't make it any better?
