Quoted from Eddie:

The following was then heard throughout Modern. Announced by a Modern employee no less.
"KISS is OUT the first night of "League" and a machine is already down that was fast shows how they fix machines here KISS is out First night this is how they fix machines"
I went out to get something to eat and upon return I get
" You fix DM is fucking not working thats how you fix"

You work for an absolute lunatic.

It's a testament to how much people love pinball that this place hasn't gone under yet with this kind of "management."

Kind of surprised the guy doing all the yelling doesn't quit his job at modern at the first hint of trouble, like he quit on his NYC Pinball league team (that he was the captain of) when they started 1-5 this season.

So Epstein brought in one of his old cronies from the Reagan era and let Eddie go?

Is the crony as old as Epstein?

Sounds like modern won't be around much longer. Their lineup continues to deteriorate as many of the better titles leave, and now the rest of the machines are going to go downhill FAST with a tech who hasn't been doing this for 25 years on the Job.

Modern has Been great for raising pinball's profile. Without Eddie and dahlia I can't see them making a run of it - their two biggest attractions were parties and pinball and both are gonna go south, fast.

If it's really true that they can't afford a quality tech like Eddie - and word on the street is he wasn't exactly being paid a generous salary - it's possible that it's just not a feasable business in 2015. Well see.

I want modern to succeed. Modern has been good for me. I've sold many machines because people were turned into the idea of owning a game from their experiences at modern.

But they have made some head shaking moves, first hiring a bargain basement tech who was in way over his head, and now this. Skimping on maintainance is gonna be disastrous, and the parties are thier bread and butter. Don't understand why they'd do this unless they really having trouble making the rent.
