I can't eat it. I break out in hives every time I eat one of their pizzas.

I used too.

Was lucky too. Never had a head go bouncing down the road.

Reminded me of the time my distributor wanted the first Taito Zoo Keeper video game ( first video game you could win a game on ) to go to someone other than me. They were going across the street to the other warehouse so they didn't tie it down. It ended up in many pieces in the middle of the road.

A few days later I was at the dock picking up a game. The man in charge of the games division was going to lunch with some customers and walked by me on the dock. He told me to be sure and tie it down

I asked why ?, I'm just going across the street. ( I was kidding )

If looks could kill I'd be a dead man.

This reminded me of the time I was going from the distributor to my business.

Awhile later at the distributor the man in charge of their route approached me and mentioned he was driving down the highway doing 80mph ( in a 55 ) and I passed him like he was standing still and that I had a game in the back.

I miss the good old days.

Disclaimer : It's good to be an op.

Video games too. ( not me ) I've seen ops pushing big video games that had wheels on them down the street. Either didn't need the truck, or no close parking nearby.

At the distributor when I brought in a big game with wheels. If they were going to push it through the warehouse rather than get the forklift, I always hopped in for a ride. The Atari Red Barron I was making machine gun noises as we went.

Bingo Table ?

Back in the day 4 Square was the best pinball at my place.

Gary Gittleson was a tech for Advance Carter, who had games in here back then. Gary came into to service 4 Square and when he went to lift the playfield the bank of relays across the bottom middle of the playfield slipped down and bent many leaf blades to hell.

He came up and asked me who was last in the game and left that loose. I pointed out it was him. He spent most of the afternoon fixing that mess.

Another time Gary was there on a service call and when he was done. He went down the strip mall I was in and went into the barber shop to get a hair cut.

I gave him about ten minutes and called the barber. I said I was his boss and to tell Gary I was there waiting on him. Seconds later he came running in with the sheet from the barber shop still around his front. He was scared, figured he'd get fired. I was sitting behind the counter laughing my hind parts off.

Gary was a very jovial guy, and after a bit, he had to laugh too. At that company it was common to prank each other.

That is correct. https://www.actionpinball.com/parts.php?item=03-9318-M Not too many options out there.

Run the trunk test, see if it turns or not. Then you'd know about the gearbox.
