    Quoted from hugepockets:

    Anybody think these guys can actually raise $250,000 in 60 days?

    Speaking about Kickstarter campaigns from direct experience, almost all of the money comes from the first three and last three days of the campaign with a large yawning gap of doom in between.

    Does anyone know the creators? They must have the mother of all pinball collections to fill out 70,000 feet.

    Anyway the creators really should be talking up their idea here and other well-known online venues if they want to succeed...

    Quoted from Black_Knight:

    Someone reached out to him and said he will have to buy the machines with the money raised. He wants to fill half the museum with EMs and will be training all new techs to service them.

    Wow they have no pins, yet? Yikes.

    I suppose you can buy a lot of EMs for about a thousand per machine. But I’ve been to probably a dozen pin-museums or large barcades and the EMs are lightly used... to put it mildly. It’s a shame but that’s what I’ve observed. If they want enough paying visitors they’ll need most of their games to be no older than the nineties, won’t they?

    I wonder how many admissions per day they would need to break even. The power bill alone on a space that large is going to be breathtaking. Do they at least own this seventy thousand square foot building?
