    Quoted from pinballkim:

    I've heard of a man in the Cando area with a huge collection wasting away in a warehouse, I bet this is the guy. Looks like he has passed away. I wonder if there are any machines left? I may need to make some phone calls next time I'm up that way.

    I'd call the hardware store and ask. Hopefully it is still in the family. He was a good guy. I sat next to him on the bus to the Stern party at Expo in 1999 (IIRC) at the Ramada. We got to talk about our pinball obsession....

    For those who have a copy of "Bally, the World's Game Maker", this guy's name is on the cover of a copy of the "Lion's Roar" internal newsletter that is shown in the book. I met him in the mid '70's. He was a good person.

    Found these in my stash. FYI, Jack O'Donnell was relocated to Bally's Park Place Casino-Hotel in Atlantic City to set up and run the Slot Department as Director of Slot Operations. Eventually, he went on to run Trump Plaza and also helped get the Trump Taj Mahal off and running in compliance with New Jersey regulations.

    Jack is Bill O'Donnell Sr's. son. Bill is the man who made Bally into the world's largest manufacturer of Coin Operated Amusement and Gaming devices.
