Expanding the PHOF doesn't make sense if he can't keep up with what he has, but at the same time if he bought the building next door for a good price, it might be cheaper than his storage.. Seems that was the same reason clay bought the VFW, he could store AND play his machines for less in the long run by buying a building.
While I too like to complain about run down machines at PHOF, I can understand not being able to keep up. While everyone will chime in "hey, hire some people to help", imagine if your wife said "Hey, i invited a bunch of your friends to fix your machines.. I think they all know what their doing".. You might be reluctant to agree to that. I think Clay is fortunate to have friends he can trust to help work on pins.
So serious question, Tim always talks about how "Come play sooner than later. When I'm gone, there will be a sign on the door that says closed". Anyone want to chime in about what will really happen when Tim passes on? Does he have family it would get passed onto? Would local pinball club people get first dibs? Does he have a Will and testament that says all his stuff gets sold at auction and donated to charity?
