My Wife and I showed up at 10:30 per Jody's instructions. Waited about a half hour, still Jody. Borg comes walking in from a smoke break and I go "John, it's Shawn from the emails. He tries Jody to no avail and is like screw it, lets go. Borg, my wife, and myself play Metallica LE for about an hour together. Then John takes us all over the factory, shoots us a few free gifts, and has a few hours of conversation about anything.
Gary comes walking by, very personable, takes pics with me and the wife, good guy.
Gomez walks by, excited to meet us, really engaging with an owner of two of his designs. Runs to his office, comes back with a signed TFLE flyer, signs my custom cards, and leaves very graciously and thankful to us for supporting them.
Still no Jody at three.
Borg signs my stern hat, all my missions were completed.
I would highly recommend this tour for any pinhead.
Thanks Borg !!! One of the reasons we decided on Chicago to visit was Stern. Started off shitty, but ended with Borg giving the whole tour and talking great coin op stories, many of which he asked me
to keep it between us, no problem for a great guy. Our visit could not have gone any better !!
