Does anyone know the name of the guy who had the huge collection, with the specially built lofts? I'd love to see if he's on Pinside to to see the entire collection. He was the one who talked about the Jesus themed pinball machine.

Quoted from DNO:Ron, from Pittsburgh, great guy!
If you go to Pinburgh, you may run into him.
Do you know if he's here on Pinside? I'd love to see if there are more photos of his collection.
What!? OK, now I MUST find photos of all this!
Quoted from Betelgeuse:I don't think Ron is on pinside, but I will say that his collection is insane. He has over 200 machines in a Funhouse like outbuilding. He not only has a lot of rare pins from all eras, he has vids, bowlers, shooters, etc too. His gameroom has more to it than just the games though. There's also a ton of movie props, memorobilia, commercial signs and amusement park relics. Some of the coolest features have to include the tube slide that takes you from the 2nd floor to the main floor bar and the outdoor gazebo that has a waterfall running OVER it into the river below. Ron is the man!

Quoted from PhilGreg:Holy moly.
What's he doing for a living?? (Don't want to know exactly_ what, for private life's sake, but still curious as to what kind of income you need to have something like that going)
Seriously -that's some big money in machines there. I'm brand new to the hobby and just started looking in the last 12 months. I'd love to own games like Attack From Mars, Addams Family, Circus Voltaire, etc., but the prices are so high. What were these games that are selling now in the $4000-$7000 range going for 5-10 years ago? Could you find a great condition pin like Attack From Mars in the below $2000 range?
