    It was more common when I was younger to see people doing that.

    I do it occasionally when a regular plunge wont get it done.

    Quoted from DNO:

    It’s just plain cheating the game.

    How is that?

    I thought these were coin operated machines meant to be left in public unattended 24/7 with everything they could think of designed into them to prevent cheating. And the plunger itself has been in them since day one.

    Quoted from jbovenzi:

    We all did this in the '70s. It was the cool thing to do to impress the girls about your indifference to the game.
    You really banged the game around after it was launched and it was the real gameplay instead of the skill shot.

    Since I've been a member of pinside I've seen more worries about abuse and other aspects of these machines, and others telling others what is right or wrong, and what they should do or shouldn't do, than we ever could have possibly imagined when the only thing in our minds was how to win a replay.

    Priceless.

    So close to my picture back then. I think that I did actually have a white belt during that time...

    Honestly, the spectator is a dead ringer for myself sophomore year in high school. Before I grew my hair long again. I had to do a double take.

    If you weren't playing pinball in the 1970s, you may never understand. And that goes for a lot of things.

    We were (are) too cool for school.

    Oh the memories are pouring out of my brain now!

    And some of you wonder why we don't need any stinking dream themes.
