Quoted from captainadam_21:

Move to North Dakota and keep your machines. There is more money in oil in that state right now than they know what to do with. 80k a year to work the rigs. 100k+ to drive trucks. He'll strippers are being flown in from Vegas and making 2k a night. You'd think they would need a IT guy out there.

I'm almost thinking of doing this. I work down on the docks but it is really slow because of the recession and increasing automation. I have my class A truckers license and my grandparents moved to LA from Mandan, ND in the 1940's. I think I still have a few second cousins there. Maybe I can get back into accounting even though I hated it, I'm still paying off my student loans for my accounting and finance degrees.

Quoted from NimblePin:

Nice to see the responses from Kane and Pinster68.

I was going to say something like...
"How's about we get a loan going for his pins and when he gets back on his feet he can buy them back or help sell them off if he doesn't want them anymore!"
Kane took it another notch higher and Pinster is right on the money with his-
People in pinball are better than most shmucks.

I found that to be true as well, 85% of the time!
Great group of people we have here!
That kind of generosity is very rare and even more amazing that it is found on a humble pinball forum. Kudos to Kane and Pinster!
Here's a Salma for your efforts!

Great job guys!

Still havent found a job and I havent had any luck with my big hurt. I guess its not that popular of a game. Does anyone have another gottlieb system 3 machine possible the same board i have a desire to see a photo of is the same in all the system 3 machines?

I am looking for a picture of the board and wiring thats mounted to the board behind the flashers in the back box.

Hate to hear that. Is the big hurt working now? I do recall enjoying the game back when it first came out but shipping would probally kill me on it so wont offend you with an offer. Best of luck with getting back on your feet.

Sending good vibes your way, hate to see you lose your pinvestments
I really hope you get a better job than the one you had before, and soon.
In the end, its not what you know, its who you know,play the numbers and keep shaking hands, making phone calls and wear out the shoeleather. I got me a MBA, but it ain't worth much.

Quoted from BigOrange:

Kane said:Pinballnoob, how about this. I'll buy your pins, we'll sign a contract, when you get back on your feet you can pay me back and pick them up. Think of it as free temporary storage with a fellow Pinsider. If you decide after a year that it's not going to happen we can just rip up the contract. If that makes any sense to you or if any other Pinsiders have a suggestion you can PM me. I'm in NJ.
Class move there! What a nice group this is... Good luck with your job search!

Sure makes me proud to be part of a group like this.
