<..>how,s that....taking those e.m pinballs to the tip ,the operators probably made plenty of cash off them,& then updated to newer pinballs ,i remember in the early 1980,s they were selling electromehanical gottlieb pinballs in the newspaper classifieds for $120 -$150 in working condition ,I was 13 yea ^&^rs old ,& begged my parents but they said no...

That is where I started
First game purchaced, Sure Shot (Gottlieb EM from 1975)
purchaced from local operator in 1982 for $110
($120 would have bought a two player game)
