You know, you just can start in the middle of these threads, or you see Tom has gotten rid of his Fun Machine and is looking for a Satin Doll.......Now I see what this thread is about.
If you are ever in Las Vegas. A few blocks west from where Tropicana crosses the Strip, i.e. by the MGM Grand, is pinball Mecca, the Pinball Hall of Fame. Twenty dollars will last you many hours and you will have a great time. Every machine costs it's original price to play. No cost to get in the door.
