On a modern arcade machine costing between $10,000USD and $100,000 USD (converted from UK Pounds) we expect to break even in a period between 1 and 2 years. they're usually in the arcade for about 3 to 7 years.

I think it's a safe bet that if you have a classic, that hasn't been modded in any way, then the coin counter is probably also original and untouched. BY the way, I did some math and now I think it's unlikely a counter would roll over. A 5 digit counter MAAYYYBE once. |

Most of my classics show between 25-50k plays. I tend to think they're probably pretty accurate. And I'm guessing they would have switched to a 6 digit counter sooner if many games were rolling them over. Wade |
