Could also be a business opportunity.

Favorite machine: Big Ben (Williams Electronics, 1975)

Spent more time playing that at university than being in the library

Bought one a few years later and it just wasn't the same, probably because I didn't have to pay to play each time

Not a full timer yet but have a house in Dunedin. Been restoring and collecting pinball machines and old arcade games (no videos) for close to 30 years. Currently have over 40 games in my collection in NY. Will be bringing them to TV shortly. Not sure where just yet. Any other collectors out there? Any interest in forming a club not only for playing but restoring?

I think you mean Gottlieb King of Diamonds. I have the add-a-ball version Diamond Jack

Does Diamond Jack require hitting J-A in order? If so, then that’s my game. Been several decades since I played it.

I had a route many years ago in NY. I still have 5 machines in my house now. Bally Fireball, Bally Fireball Classic, Bally Dogies, Bally Cosmo, Bally Night Rider, and Gottlieb Wild Wild West.

I'd love to do something in the villages in the rec centers. Where do we start?
