No doubt when 'our' generation is dead & gone, about 98% of pins will be trashed....there might be a slight resurgence when the next "retro is cool" fad comes around sometime in 2050.....

Pinball is becoming just another lost trade....we may as well become blacksmiths 

The financial future of the world will certainly help put it all to an end, unless pinball retailers (what's left of them) decide to sell machines for $500 at last....
