For the love of pinball

How cool is Cristopher!

This guy sums up what 99% of AP members are all about.

I like where he says:

If they stopped making pinball machines tomorrow, Kuntz said his business would be "OK" -- as long as there are pinball collectors."Here I am working on a game that's 50 years old. Here's a game that's 60 years old. Here's a game that's 30-plus years old," he said. "All the pinballs made today would still need to be repaired ... at least until I die."
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,
