In my area, hackerspaces are full of broken machines. I assume because they have loads of beginners (a good thing) who make beginners' mistakes causing problems they can't fix (which is to be expected) and the skilled volunteers couldn't fix things fast enough (again, understandably). Places that can afford full-time employees have someone keeping the machines and equipment in fair condition.
