Thanks much for posting your vid, Owl. I think it captured the VFW's fun and friendly atmosphere quite well. You did a fine job at moving around with a camera and showing fairly clear views of the wide variety of machines.

The vid really shows all the machines are clean and fully functioning. No burnt out bulbs, broken rubbers, filthy worn playfields, or poorly maintained machines here. STAFF members are frequently roving within a building and between buildings, attending to machines for things as simple as stuck balls; resetting machines with uncompleted games; and making quick repairs on the floor if these can be done without interfering with other VFW guests.

Your video also shows the central workshop hub where highly experienced TECH members will handle repairs needing more focus and time best done with the machine off the main floor. In fact, at approximately 2:39 in your vid, you see TSPP and an EM (it was Bally Happy Tour) in the workshop. At 2:52 and 13:13 you show their respective vacant spaces in the line-up, the only two vacant spots out of 400+ machines in your vid. The cool thing about this is it shows we care about all the games there. You can play the much-loved TSPP just about anywhere, but where else is someone going to find a 1964 Bally Happy Tour in near perfect (or as close to perfect as anyone came make it) working condition -- only 250 were made according to IPDB. Granted, the Happy Tour was brought to the workshop 4 times during the weekend, but we had it back on the floor as much as we could to make it available for anyone wanting to check this rare machine off their "never played" list.

Hope you join us again next year!

Bally Kid is a fine young man and I predict great success for him.
Congratulations Mr Bally!

By the way, I noticed you and The Law had cameo roles in Owlnonymous's video.
Bravo.
