My son and his wife go every 3 weeks to have dinner and play pinball at Main Street Amusements. He was just telling me that they both do not like to play the newer Sterns because they are to complicated, so this Idea of a simpler pinball machine might not be a bad idea for locations.
By the way my son and his wife are of the age that they did grow up in the arcade generation, but around here I do not remember the arcades having pinball machines, just arcade games. If they had, had pinball machines I would have spent some time in them even though I would have looked out of place with all the kids, as I was already in my forties.
