Mine needs some work... Once I am down in TN for good, it is going to be one of my projects to get it done.

I can't help but bridge this one with a techno song from the 80's

I went to the Hershey show on Saturday. My son and I hung around for about 3 hours playing the wares. I bought a vintage Ford gumball machine that's in great shape. There was a slot machine vendor from Toledo (Rec Room Specialties). All slots were set on free play and were priced at $500-$600. He had about 15 varieties of Bally slots on display. His round tops were priced the same as his flat tops.

There were about 75 pinballs on display for sale. The bulk were from the sales floor from the Pennsylvania Gameroom Warehouse.
