Quoted from mwiltoncos:

I can completely relate to your situation, I am also a small business owner in the construction trade and went trough the economic downturn back in 2008 through 2012. It was a very hard time for lots of business owners and I as well lost a lot of money those years. Luckily things have gotten somewhat better, hope for you as well. Hang in there pinballs can always be replaced down the road when the time comes

Exact same story. Back around 2008 when my small business took a large hit and I was not drawing a paycheck to stay open we had to sell our Creature From the Black Lagoon, Tales of the Arabian Nights and Theatre of Magic.
Even though we never have replaced those exact titles we have several new Sterns in there place.
Gotta do whatever life calls for.
We are now in a situation where my town is destroyed by hurricane Harvey.
I run a Family Entertainment center.
It will probably be rough again with 60% of the towns homes under water.
