Just to expound on the notion Gottlieb EMs are reliable. In the past 7 years, seven or less have been
setup and working for charity, they have brought in and donated to local charity well over 20K in quarters,
of which required nearly as much in labor and parts to keep going, all worth it but never again.
The CC, WMS, Bally machines in the collection where never considered for this nearly decade long experiment
because, they are not even close to 'industrial' to do the job on location. Its really that simple, GTB was
King for a reason, they were built like Sherman tanks, and lasted. Good, bad or ugly, they worked, made
money and are ideal for home or operation use even today. However, 1-2 bucks per play, 2$ for 3 play
is the norm, and sadly no-flash EMs do the trick unless you hark for another time and era. The kids don't
get it, their tricks are for just kids.

Time to install, move, maintain over the 7 years, windshield time, WMS not as good as GTB, absolutely accurate. Yes, it would have been better and smarter to just donate the 40K and have been done with it from day one. Other than the experience, was a total waste of time for all involved. The upside, pinball on location for others, that is all. Drunk, no, just honest assessment and summary of a 7 year long experiment.

If you have 30-40 GTBs, and 15-20 WMS, and 30+ 'also player' games, you begin to realize how nice, functional, lovely in design and art, and tank-like the GTBs are. Until that time, its maybe speculative at best. Just-sayin', its until then just speculative.

CP is a nudger's game, worth buying, questionable at 600 as a project.

You have me at hello, not a project.
