Quoted from Whysnow:If EM guys want to sequester in the room off to the side then watch the hobby die for EMs even quicker.
Four years ago at TPF the Dallas / Ft Worth Pinball Club had an EM section and it was visited quite a bit by young and old alike, I know as I had brought two machines. The EM's were not dying there, they were doing well. The Pre War 30's machines have had a separate area now for about 3 years and have only been growing, so this proves there is a real interest from folks young and old when it comes to M and EM technology at TPF. Not my opinion, just a fact and my 2 cents.
Quoted from Whysnow:LOL. I personally own multiple EMs (more than you list in your pinside collection), route and maintain about 6 other EMs, and am currently neck deep in a full restoration of an EM from the ground up.
Not trolling at all. I love EMs and love them right alongside my other solid states, DMDs, and even LCDs.
Thank You for clarifying. 
This is a quote from an exhibitor about the two games he brought to TPF stated in the TPF 2018 thread:
"Golden Arrow had 460 plays on Saturday and Sunday (I forgot to write down the counter on Friday morning after setup). Batman 66 had 498 plays."
I played his Gottlieb Golden Arrow and it looked and played beautifully and was not far behind the New Pin in plays (I like Batman 66 by the way and played it too).
No dying EM here, but rather a strong contender with the new kid on the block.
Golden arrow is a good game in my book, but had it been a Gottlieb Atlantis or Abra Ca Dabra I'm sure the numbers would have been even as 70's drop target games get a lot of love at TPF.
Just more proof that EM's are doing well at TPF and deserve a separate area in my book so they can be heard as well as seen.
