“Is this thread still worthwhile?”

  • This thread is past it's prime and is now boring me to tears! It no longer provides useful information. It's time to call it a day and close this thread down! 0 votes
  • While it may not be exciting or fun as other threads on Pinside, I still read this thread and am glad it is still being updated. There is still good information here and I pick up some helpful tips along the way. Keep it going! 48 votes

Quoted from MrBally:

Sometimes an Operator gives the location a nice chunk of cash as a signing bonus. This is separate from the all cash loans that also come into play. I loved carrying those lunch bags with $10-15k into locations and handing them to my new friends.
You never forget the name of someone who hands you that kind of cash. Remember, this was the early '80's.

I’d love to pick your brain sometime, I’m very interested in local history and of course pinball. I’m in Toledo but go up to Pete’s quite a bit. Have any pictures? Where were these sort of locations?
