My father never tilted pinball machines. Rarely have I ever titled a machine.

The recent competition I entered was a real eye opener, and the "Bradbury principle" really worked in my favor. The amount of times a player would SLAP a machine AFTER the ball drained was unbelievable. The ball is heading towards an outlane - so the game is moved inches to the left or right - tilting - and the "6 X Bonus" at the end of the ball is not collected.

I've seen "collectors" almost bash up a pinball machine in a private collection. I've never understood this (30 years and it STILL makes no sense to me)..
