Thanks for sharing that Ralph it sure was a great read.
I Surely do remember Strombeckers and I remember all those machines you mentioned, they did also have a Black Hole too.
Heres a question Ralph, what was the name of the grumpy money changer guy who wore the lab coat???
Im pretty sure it was Bob, and he was the grumpiest bastard you ever met, no smile no emotion , just a permanent look on his face like someone just waved a turd under his nose.
And get this, if you tilted a machine and he saw it he would kick you out if he was having a bad day otherwise you would get a warning not to do it again. He was quite protective of his "babies"
I can't remember his name but he was a grumpy old bugger but i think he liked it when we were spending our pocket money there. The lab coat was a classic and the money bag around the waist! Not sure if he was involved with the Slot Cars upstairs but had some good times there and i must admit the games always played well and were maintained well from memory
