    Here is my take on this,

    I have not been flamed on here yet...Ever. I posted this (very close) to my non-pinhead friends on FB earlier not knowing “Tim” or the older lady that violently powered down MB today when i told here the lower pop wasn’t firing causing ball search to fail.

    Really torn on Vegas Pinball Hall of Fame. A pinball location with over 200 games.

    The “name” and condition is doing more harm than good for the interest of the young and old joining this hobby/lifestyle for the first time. I can only assume, people have left without appreciating the experience. 75 percent of the games here do not work they way they should. I found myself excited to go back and finish off the $10 bucks in quarters i had from my first trip. It quickly changed.

    However, a young and mechanically smart teenage girl wearing a Volunteer shirt “worked” both days i was there. Its a busy place. When i talked to this young girl attempting to fix a game i was playing her response to why she volunteers was “It get’s me off the couch”. I hope they appreciate someone like that. The first day she was trying to fix my Star Trek (hopeful thinking folks, maybe someday), then the manager/owner had her polishing the entire play surface when they found out it was not fixable at the time. She was hustling going from game to game, and reacted calmly when other people pulled her aside for their game issues. People are still “doing it” the work ethic is still there. Congrats to her for setting a great example for a struggling place. Good job!!!
