You won't know until it's happening or over.

A war, love affair, depression, never follow the same rules as the last one. And it effects people differently.

After the 1929 depression a lot of those people saved string and wrapping paper. During the 2005 down turn, I don't recall people doing that.

One thing for sure.

Odin's dog will be smoking cheaper cigars come the down turn.

Usually in bad economies coin op does good, cheaper entertainment.

Didn't help last time.

No idea on next time.

No question. After you graduated, they raised the price of tuition to cover a lot of broken paddles lost on your Chuck Norris butt.

I wonder how it might effect me. Usually in bad times, my industry ( arcade, coin op games ) fare better in bad times because it's cheaper entertainment.

Last time around, when all my pins were on 50¢ a game play. I didn't fare better.

So no idea what the next one does. They don't always follow the rules of the last one.

No, it was falsely reported on a podcast that Aimtron bought American Pinball. Aimtron is the parent company of which one of the divisions American Pinball is a part of. And has been all along.
