    My first game was a Gottlieb OUT OF SIGHT
    The history was, the guy I bought it from, said his uncle had an arcade when he closed it he gave a game to each of his kids and nephews.
    I don't know what happened to the rest of them. But I got a working game that need cleaning and a ring kit.

    A freind who I flew R/C airplanes with said he had an old wood rail pinball in his basement not used for many years .
    I am sure it needed to be repaired or at least shopped.

    I wonder how many games are out there in the corner of a basement or garage.

    Quoted from steviechs:

    I bet the random single game in the basement or garage is probably higher than we think.
    Pulled an OXO out of an about-to-be-demolished garage. The owner got it for his birthday back in the 70s. Said it hadn’t worked in some 20 years but the bg was perfect!
    Also rescued an Aloha from another garage as a son was cleaning out his dads old stuff. BG was 99% gone on that one.

    the backglass survived winters in a Michigan garage amazing.

    There are a lot people who have games that are not on Pinside or other pinball forums.

    More Examples: My neighbor has a Flash that will need work and its at his other house.
    My former employer has a Last Action Hero. I ordered a ring kit for him and told him to replace the 3 AA batteries.
