do people smoke in your pinball room?
i have been considering a room dedicated to non-smoking for the sake of preserving my best pins.
i have cleaned so many cabs,and the nicotine that comes of them would kill a cat. %.%

All of my machines are smoke free, chips free, icecream free, coke free, beer at a distance.
My uncle regularly smokes on his machine and when I need to look at something on it for him there is always ash on the lockdown mech - disgusting.
It also makes it way down into the lower cab.

I have lost count of the number of times I have stripped ctpanels from video games and had to scrape out old sticky Coke to get the buttons working again.

"Do people smoke in your pinball room?"

No way man, no one smokes anywhere near my machines!
If I had my way no one would smoke on my property at all.
Disgusting habit.
