Pinball machines need exposure,this is the way to go forward.One comment was about getting these machines into areas where the public can see them and purchase without a big outlay upfront.This is exactly what i have said any time this subject is brought up.Fact is there are not as many arcade rooms around any more for people to view and play the machines.If you want to compete with the video games ect you have to have your product in as many outlets as possible.If the machines were available in the big department stores,Harvey Norman,Domayne,Bing Lee ect for the interest free terms you would sell plenty.You have got to go for the home market if you want pinball to grow.If you cannot see it how are you going to buy it,as these type of outlets have thousands of people through their doors on a yearly basis.If you do not change with the times then it will be all over.Keep the prices reasonable and no doubt world wide you could keep the industry alive if not your gone.My family owned 2 amusement centres in the illawarra and both are now gone.I have seen and spoken to many of the patrons that used to come in and when i tell them about having a few pinball machines the first thing they say is i want one and where can i get it from.There is a market out there,so if you want to sell,put them where people can see them.
