Our high-lineage center is currently looking at options to replace our very old Brunswick A machines. AMF currently offers two choices for used machines:
-rebuilt 8270 with 8290 electronics (8270-XL)
-used 8290-XL from the Asian market (about 5 years old)
The 8290-XL is actually cheaper since it is not gone through as much as the rebuilt 8270-XL (AMF claims).
What does everyone think is the best option? Is buying from AMF the best way to go? Does anyone have any experience with recent AMF machine installations? Or is trying to find used 8270s with MP chassis (or Omega-teks) the way to go? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
