Yes, but the steam machinery will fade away too...
The people that keep it going are a collection of the original engineers/farmers & families of those machines.....it'll all disappear, be afraid!
Find someone under 40 who has an active interest in steam-technology.....enuff said ;-)
MM.
I agree 100%, but my theory was if the steam stuff is still around now and has been redundant for umpteen years then pinballs will still be around for quite a while after they are out of production ( hope that makes sense!?)
