I too would like something like this, and I too am of "your generation" and played quite a bit in grad school.
Another poster suggested setting up a pinball club, and that is a good idea too. You could use the club to give support to John about the need for pinball in the new rec center.

I have previously spoken to John and his response was that he would take it under advisement (or a similar) phrase. I offered to do it also. I think the problem is how to monetize it. By that I mean that if play is free, who does the maintenance? Someone has to charge to maintain and repair the machines. If it's pay to play then its not an issue.
Many years ago I ran a small pinball route in Brooklyn.
