Also there are people that do own a Drummania machine in their house, they just dont post on here.

The other point I want to throw out is its your decision. As June.H said if its a place that gets many people inside then you could have a chance of making profit as it resembles Rock Band/Guitar Hero. But you have to also remember this is America, our arcades SUCK. Plus the people are even ruder. You may risk damaging the machine when putting it on location.

Well from what I'm getting, a profit is probably not going to happen, and I'm fine with that. Just the feeling of accomplishment of doing this would be worth tons to me. And even if it brings in enough to pay for replacement parts, and maybe a couple bucks extra, I'll be happy. I guess a big concern is the beating it would take. It's probably easier to break than a DDR machine as far as the drum pads go, but the cabinet should stay intact. We just had a new bowling center/sports bar built here in town that sees a decent crowd. So with that in place, and knowing they are adding more machines to their building, it can go off without a hitch if the owners agree for this to happen. Which I see no reason it couldn't work. It would bring new and old players to them, and they're getting a DDR machine too, so there should be a good amount of traffic for at least a few months. I'm going to scout the place a few times a week to see what the peak business is like.

I'm perfectly content knowing it won't make any profit. But I figure, there's nothing remotely close to here, and if there was, it would be most likely an old version since upgrades are very difficult to come by. Also not counting the tons of money I would be putting into it myself, it would almost break even. And if all else fails, I can always resell it. And the US will see another machine. What's to lose?
