There are many Baby Boomers (BBs) in the process or ready to retire.... I know, I am one of them. Now, if you do them sums right, you will see that the BBs were between the ages of 15 and 35 at the peak of the pinball golden era in 1980. These BBs cut their teeth on EMs in the 1960s and 70s and pinball is in their blood.
Some were collectors but a lot of BBs followed a career and family path over the last 30 years. Now these BBs have lots of time, are loaded with money and wish to relive their past.....all good news for the Silver Ball.
I will buy NIBs so long as the theme, design, quality and flow are all there. ACDC also carries the Aussie icon element which is hard to resist.
