    Quoted from DK:

    It seems like you are VERY optimistic on earnings. Don’t be afraid to dabble in B/W or something unique or classic (80s) instead of just tossing 30-40k in a location. Different groups like different eras! My best locations enjoy DE and sys80 or even EMs!

    This is a big one. In my experience there's still a sizable portion of potential players that get turned off when they see $1 per play; no matter how many bonuses you toss at them. So it's good to have a B/W at 75 cents or an early solid state at 50 to offer this group.

    Plus some folks seem to be "intimidated" by modern pins. I'm talking absolute normies here, people who've barely or if ever even touched a pinball before in their life. These folks always seem to gravitate towards games like Paragon, Space Shuttle, Fire Power, etc.

    Quoted from fuzz:

    Ill have one machine from the 70's, 2 from the 80's, 2 from the 90's, 5 modern Sterns and a free virtual pin. I feel this is a nice representation and has appeal to all people.
    Price points to match
    50 cents for the older ones, a buck for the newer ones.

    That's a pretty good variety. One of the nice things about early solid state games too, is that once you put the work into 'em, they are absolute tanks.

    I'm curious how the virtual pin will do.
