I can't think of a better cause. Lloyd has helped me many times over the years. I finally have a way to show my appreciation. Thank you Lloyd. I have a good feeling that you will surpass the 8.5K goal.
Just met Lloyd and Prada for the first time this weekend. What a friendly guy. I brought a pcb along w/ me and he helped me w/ an issue I was having. Played a few pins I had never seen before which was fun as well.
Happy to contribute
LTG has helped me out numerous times with pin problems and every time he's remedied the issue!
LTG has helped me on numerous occasions , not to mention the archive of knowledge contained in his forum that I have referred to many times. He is a true asset to our hobby, sharing his experience and knowledge with all who need it. As a newbie to the hobby, he saved me many times from having to bring in technical support. I only wish my donation could match the value of his service! If we had a "Pinball Hall of Fame" , Lloyd would be a charter member.
Woot, 74%.
I talked with Qfanatic and it looks like $500 should feed about 100 people. I asked about brisket and pulled chicken and some basic sides. I might look into getting a ton of ribs and some brisket instead, but not sure.
Lets get this baby up and over the goal so we can get lloyd a new pin!

I wouldn't get all excited yet. A long way to go.
My experience is just go with the ribs. What people go for and easiest. Most other items get ignored and tossed out.

Too late lloyd, already getting excited!
Thats kinda what I was thinking too. Worst case sceanario is that I bring home extra ribs and I have no problem with that.

Money sent, congratulations on toughing out the highs and lows in the industry! Sounds like things are on an upswing. JR
Quoted from buffaloatx:LTG, I have shipped you a care package. I will provide tracking information once I receive it. This is a small token of appreciation from myself and my operator, who's games would be still sitting in a warehouse gathering dust without you and Pinsides many other passionate members help.
Good luck with this project, and I hope your refurb party is one for the ages.

This couldn't benefit a more deserving person or place - Lloyd I am proud to call you a friend and the community is very lucky to have you and SS... Thank you very much for your dedication and life devotion to providing a place for people to enjoy and all the help you have given.. There is no amount that could be given to repay that.
I know you live a trim existence and it surely would have been easier and financially beneficial for you to have given up a long time ago - thank you for not.. I am eternally grateful
Quoted from pinballnut3:Let me know when Lordless i may swing by and say HI!
It'll probably be in the afternoon sometime. I'm making a trip up to the pinballwarehouse to pick up some pinball glass then was going to have lunch in champlin, then head up to hopkins after.

So cool Big THANK YOU to Buffaloatx
LTG, glad I could help. If you ever find yourself in Austin, come in and check out some of the pins you helped revive.
It was great playing pinball today and meeting more local pinheads. I met a guy and asked how long he has known lloyd and he said probably about 40 years now. Its great that this type of relationship is possible and its great hearing about the history of the place.
Contribution sent. Glad to be able to help Lloyd out. With his willingness to help everyone for so many years, and to do so with such class and integrity, I can't think of a more deserving person.
Happy to contribute.

Thank you doesn't seem enough. I really appreciate this. The last decade was pretty tough on me. And this will help much more than the business.

People have asked for pictures of the mug and ashtray. Both are over 30 years old. The mug is plastic, marked Sterllite on the bottom, dish washer safe top rack. I believe the phone number changed before they came so we never used them.
The ash tray kind of looks like carnival glass. An inch deep. Too heavy to use around the pinball machines. So they were never used.
