Play a piece of pinball history. You can read the details elsewhere, but in a nutshell, Wayne Neyens predicted that Spirit off '76 would sell more than 10,000 units when others thought it would be ~3000. A Gottlieb executive told Wayne that he would personally deliver the 10,000th game to him at his home if production indeed reached that level. At Wayne's recent 100th birthday, he offered to loan the game to the Pacific Pinball Museum (in Alameda, California). It's in wonderful condition and it's on the floor of the museum. Come and play it!
