How many games on your machine?
I’m just curious of how many games are on other Pinsider EM machines.
I have a very well used 1976 Bally Old Chicago and was really surprised to see the counter working and nearly 59,000 games on it. I’m responsible for only a few hundred of them.

I had a really long day when I bought my Kings and Queens. Having set up over 100 EMs I still managed to flip flop the Jones plugs in the backbox. Basically in that configuration it kept the score motor running and adding to the game counter at least once per rotation. Probably added over 100 games before I even got to play the machine.
Not sure why my Sure Shot has 2 counters, although I know it’s been discussed here before from others who have had 2.
This game is my newest addition and was very clean inside and out when I bought it and it has over 84,000 plays so I’m guessing a lot of the totals people see are rollovers.
FWIW it’s using the bottom counter now with the 59,000+ games.

Wasn't one the credit meter and the other is the play meter? An operator could see if the help was giving away free games.

Or how many free replays compared to paid games.
Quoted from Lhyrgoif:I only have space for one game "on" my machine

Ah, I get it!

Ok that makes sense. Kinda like when I was a fry cook in high school, when my buddies would come by I’d make their burgers with 4 patties.
They had a counter for that too, called a manager but I don’t remember ever getting in any trouble.
