We are unable to trade our 4 year
old Dynamo Air Hockey table for
a new one because of an unfor-
tunate Dynamo decision.
PRICING INCREASE
RESULT
The new process and material
have made the buttons virtually
indestructible. We tried breaking
them with a hammer and
couldn't.

We all know how easily these
playfields chip and dent, not to
mention warping from drinks
spilling on them. Unfortunately,
Dynamo has decided to dramati-
cally increase the price of re-
placement playfields.
No OPI10N
Our playfield is beyond patching
and should be replaced. We con-
sidered trading it in for a new
Dynamo Air Hockey table, but the
distributors will not take it. It's
because it is now too expensive
for them, or us, to replace the top.
EVERYONE LOSES
That leaves us with zero trade-in
ability and without a new table.
This pricing policy will certainly
result in fewer trade-up sales for
Dynamo, and should be re-
thought.
