Anyone else have a wrenching pintale to tell? Here's mine, happened a couple months back and still grates...
A buddy let me know that an aunt of his used to own a bar, had a nasty divorce and the whole tavern got thrown in a storage unit where it sat for several years. Hard times and mounting storage fees took their toll and she wanted it all gone. Her mother went over and looked to see what was in there, and along with boxes of neon lights, barstools, tables, glassware, tap handles and misc, there were three pinball machines under tarps and a jukebox. She could only reach one of them to look under the tarp. Midieval Madness! Other two unknown. Was told I could have the lot for $1000.
Got there with a truck and the unit was cleared out, someone else offered her 2k if he could take it all right then and there. Grail gone, heart crushed, worst day ever.

It wasn't just the MM, there were two other pins, unknown titles, but most likely same era, but I'll never know (so I'm sure they were AFM and MB)

Ah, perspective is a b*tch! Now I feel like a d*ck as well as bummed. In my defense, she didn't care what it all was worth, just wanted it gone.

Sooo not funny -well maybe a little.
