    C'mon... really folks?

    This hobby is flush with money.
    Everyone of you who own more than 2 or 3 games, know what everytime you turn them on there's a chance a game will go down.
    Sometimes it's and easy fix, others..... it's the phantom invisible gremlin, that would stump Sherlock Holmes.
    Multiply that to over a hundred vintage pins?
    PHOF is open every day!
    Everytime I've been there at least 95% of the games were on, did I lose a few quarters on malfunctioning games, sure, so what.
    I bet on some bad days they have 20 or 30 games go down, that's the hobby.
    Pinball machines break.

    Quit asking for swag.

    It's called charity, give with your heart in an open and CHARITABLE frame of mind.
    Try it, it feels good.

    Just erased a VERY long message.
    Your welcome.
    Send a Donation if you can.
    It will help.
    That's a good thing.

    Stern is a manufacturing company, not a pinball company.

    Hence they are not a part of our hobby.
    All Stern wants is your money.
    Not give it away.

    But..... if you look at the list of donors, on the GoFundMe site, Steve Ritchie donated. So at least Steve has a heart.

    It's all about Tim....

    Its Las Vegas... probably the greatest concentration of Coin Operated MACHINES and various gambling Devices in the World.

    There are officially 164 K gambling machines in nevada.
    I've only visited a few casino's, I don't remember many.. if any turned off or broken Slots.
    Who is this mysterious army of techs that maintain these machines?
    If there is one place in the world where there is a surfeit of mechanical repair knowledge its Vegas ? Right ??

    Tim ? Do you have an answer ?
    That's rhetorical Tim... don't answer .

    We know the answer, those tech's get PAID to maintain the Slot Machines, and keep the money flowing.
    There have to be hundreds of retired Vegas game Tech's in the area.

    It's a Joke that Tim can't find Tech help in Vegas,
    Tim doesn't really WANT help.....
    Its Tim's place... he gets to be his grumpy self, and rule over his little Kingdom....everyone who doesn't like it gets the bum's rush.

    I've enjoyed my few visits to the Tropicana location. And plan to visit the new location.
    I wish Tim wasn't a Hard Headed, my way or the highway type...
    But that's WHO he is....
    I wish he would PAY people but he refuses....
    So that's that.
    ......a flawed Pinball location is better than no location.

    P.S. I hate kids too !! Kick em out Tim !
