Funny.
My machines are clean and working. And I've had 5 customers since noon. They've spent less than $10.
Wtf players ?

Quoted from Pinballmike217:Hah, at least your customers spent money. I still get tokens from other crap arcades jamming up my machines all the time.
You have to catch them. It's called theft of services when you call the police.

Quoted from Av8:I have bought parts on Pinballlife and delivered to operators free
Cool. I'll send you my parts list.
You do tools too, or just parts ?
LTG : )
( am kidding, and appreciate your trying to make pinball out there better )
Quoted from scottc:One has dollar bill accepter and need to figure out how to do it on the bally pin.
Simple way is get 110 AC to the validator ( service outlet can be used ) and two wires to a coin switch. ( orange and brown on a MARS validator ). Set pulses on validator to 4. So a dollar bill registers four quarters.
LTG : )
Quoted from scottc:any thoughts?
Hard wire it. White and black on validator is your AC, orange and brown is for a switch. forget 3 pin connector, probably not for a validator.

Quoted from Finrod:I don't know where you were playing pinball in the 1980s, but where I was, there wasn't a single pinball machine that charged more than $0.25/play until Black Knight 2000 came along and was set to $0.50/game, 5 balls/game. Earthshaker was the last $0.25/game machine, after that they went to the bogus $0.50/1, $0.75/2, $1/3 setup.
Black Knight ( the original, not 2000 ) shipped at 50¢ play.
Ops could raise or lower it.

Quoted from BC_Gambit:I vaguely remember LTG posting way back when how little his Circus Voltaire had collected over a period of time (2 quarters in a week? Something like that...). That's not even enough to break even on the cost of electricity.
I had a mint one. Great shape. Purple frame headers on it. Everything worked. High wire worked right.
Sat on the end of the front row near my counter, a great spot in the room. And it did a buck, buck and a half a week. There was a reason Williams closed it out. Might be a great home pin, but didn't produce for me.

Quoted from grendle308:You'd hope that operators would have a little more
As long as players support locations known for games that don't work, are dirty, not level, and don't make payouts. You won't see any change.
