    I thought it would be interesting to hear the stories of employees from these years. Particularly, the assembly line employees. Would a production run consist of several hundred machines at once, then change over to a different title?

    Any stories out there?

    Yes they would build a single tittle for a month or 2 then discontinue it. I happened to get a factory tour in the early 80's and all they had on the floor was Haunted House.

    That must have been a sight. Any photos?

    Gottlieb simply put.....the greatest show on earth.

    I always thought an ad in a Chicago paper would find old employees. Let them know there is a pinball site where folks would love to hear the old stories. To them it probably seemed mundane, but to know there are others wanting to hear about it would be neat to them, I would think.

    Have you checked Clay Harrell's This Old Pinball podcasts (TOP Cast) from several years ago? He interviewed many past leaders, innovators, designers, etc in the industry. The link I have is http://www.pinrepair.com/topcast/past.php
