Opening title says it all. How/Why in the world did Gary Stern let Planetary Pinball get the rights to Bally/Williams machines? Surely they could have outbid PP, couldn't they? Seems crazy they'd let it happen. Is there a good history anywhere of how all of that went down? From Mr. Pinball Australia gaining the bally/williams rights, and then eventually selling them to Planetary. Sounds like hard-to-believe stuff! Maybe an idea for Silverball Chronicles?
