I was fortunate enough to have the owners of an arcade on the Ocean City Boardwalk rent my uncle's house for several years. They asked me when i was 13 years old (1983) if I wanted a job. Of course I did! That lead to me managing an arcade for more thatn 10 years having the freedom to buy the equipment and learn to repair and enjoy. Not a video game fan but grew to love pins.
We had a 10-12 pin line that I took pride in. I had Addams Family,, Attack from Mars, Indy Jones,, Star Wars, Getaway, High Speed, etc. Unfortunately retired and got a real job.
Now with big basement and visions of new garage for pins my goal is to collect and the skys the limit in my mond.
Looking forward to the journey.
