Nice, good to see young males playing pinball. Most are too busy texting crap. I spent my whole youth outside of the class room at the bowling alleys or arcades playing pinball. 1978-1982, then played pinball at college also. Now there are almost no pins to play on location the last 25 years from legalised video slots or gaming.

Your son Nick looks to be a great ambassador for the new generation of pinball enthusiasts. Great story, thanks.
