Hate hearing that sort of news. A total loss for the operator.

That was one of the things I used to worry about when I was operating pinballs.

Sad news for the owner/operator indeed.

the news said the fire was that bad they prob won't find the cause, the TOTAN was insured,
might be a timely reminder for me to sort out insurance for mine  ()

I'm the proud, or maybe not so proud owner/operator of that TOTAN. At this stage I have not been able to gain access to inspect it, but from what I have been able to see, It looks like the playfield glass has been smashed. Will give you an update once inspected. I hope I can get to it on Friday.

Yeah bit slow getting on board - spending too much time playing pinball! (if only)
