    -Gottlieb System 1’s and 80’s were worthless. To buy a bunch of other pins from an operator, you had to take them.
    -Parts came from game cannibalism, Steve Young (Pinball Resource) or Steve Engel (Mayfair Amusements). The long distance phone call was more money than shipping.
    -We sold games through classified ads and The Pinball Trader magazine.
    -Games were delivered nationwide for $100 by Oshkosh Ron.

    I’ve been in the hobby since before Chicago Coin was identified as a Stern.
