Ah,so many memories of cheating operators out of their income!!

For starters,when I was 13 back in '75 I would take the bus to Mel's
southshore lanes (in Alameda,Ca) every Sat afternoon. Capt. Fan-
tastic was brand new,as I had custom made smashed pennies (in which I
would use a file for perfect size) that would work 90% of the time.It seemed
like my smashed pennies would work best on Bally and Williams pins,
but not so great on Gottliebs.

After moving 30 miles to Concord (Calif.) I continued my smashed penny
brigade (in '76) until I got busted with a "slug" red handed by the owner
of Clayton Valley Bowl who then gave me the "pitch"

The pin I got busted trying to slug that afternoon; Volley
I remember this like it was yesterday.

This is when I tried a new trick:Pop open the back door
and spin the credit reel to the max--15 credits on Bally
Space Time at Master Links miniature golf (closed in 2000)

These pin memories (and plenty others) I will take to my grave!!!
