Eight years ago: any system 11, $800, Gottlieb system 3's, $700, it all slid down hill when retro, became pinball. The baby boomers folks passed on, and they collected big dollars from their family's. A guy buys a pool table, then a Mrs. Pacman, cause his expendable income allows him to. Soon, after.... His first pin, say a $2k whirlwind, then the pin "bug" hits, and its off to the races, with checkbook in hand. Next up is the $8k " fill in the blank"/pin, and the hobby outgrows a ton of us. Repeat, over and over for the newbies. Sad, but true. Discussed a bunch, and them are the facts, ~SpOoKy
