IMO, he needs to partner with one or more establishments that have other revenue - bars, restaurants, venues. He has already done so with the "Music Pinball Hall of Fame" at Merriweather Post Pavilion. Get these machines out there and earning. A flood of pinball in the region will drive more interest in pinball. I much prefer playing at night and drinking, something a "museum" with museum hours didn't afford.

Then maybe find a <i>much</i> smaller location for the real "museum" pieces, to hold clinics, tours, sales, repairs, sell swag. Promote this site heavily on all the location machines.

Looks like a few dozen pins, about half EM and half SS+. Nothing super-rare like BBB, Kingpin or King Kong. Wonder if they will be in a later auction.

It is a shame the museum couldn't work, the business model was just never right, because DC/Baltimore could really use a pin destination.
