Quoted from Dooskie:

Hundreds of manufacturers? That seems like a lot. You must have a list or some sort of data base of manufacturers from then. Could you post that for me? I'm interested to see who all of those manufacturers were. Thanks in advance!

I'd post them, but I don't feel like violating copyright Laws. Get yourself access to Dick Bueschel's Encyclopedia of Pinball. He only published Volumes 1 & 2 before he passed away. They cover from the late 1920's to the mid 1930's. There are over a hundred manufacturers listed in the editorial indexes. A lot of us never heard of many of these companies, but they all made penny & nickel table-top pinball machines.

Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

Effect of economic crash, odin??.....well, either pins will go up, down, or the same.
hedged myself here.
One things for sure, people in CA will start using them for housing! One person per cabinet!
Low cost real estate!

California will find a way to get a boatload of taxes out of those that do that.

Quoted from DennisDodel:

When coffee shops slow down, that's the very beginning of a recession.
June 18, 2018 "Starbucks Is Set To Close 150 Stores Across The Country
That’s up from the around 50 stores that usually close each year."

Lots of times it has to do with greedy landlords renting space at airports, highway/toll road service centers etc.
