I can’t wait for Ace Pinball to weigh in on this thread. But if he’s smart he’ll publish a book, he has some amazing stories.

I grabbed a little piece of that history in an eBay auction: the BOM for Algar, a fat binder of green bar paper printed on a dot matrix printer. It hits both my nerd and pinball nerd pleasure centers. I really appreciate James for saving that stuff from the dump. So much great history.
I’ve been watching the TV Series “DARK” and I desperately need to hear about some time-travel family tree stuff here. Like, some young person here travelled back to 1945 and is actually Gene’s dad. Or that there’s a 30-year old version of Gene still wandering around in 2036.

This may be kind of off-topic, but I want to thank Ace Pinball and Cirqus Maximus for making pinball history accessible to all of us. I’ve bought a bunch of high-quality prints from him/them over the years, and I’m the proud owner of a big stack of greenbar paper: the BOM for Algar. When I open a pinball museum, and this WILL happen, all of these artifacts will be prominently on display. Don’t be surprised if you go to the restroom to wash your hands and you’re surrounded by Algar BOM.

But I won’t be truly happy until I have some kind of Big Dick.
