I really don't know how it works but I know a few people looking into this.


Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.

Quoted from Sparky
I wouldn't mind a nice Airborne or Gladiators!!!  


Airborne >chip delamination problem ie switch matrix problem, also a new dmd as it was sitched out to another machinespp I think

Gladiators > opto problems one coil is seriously burned {as it kept fireing and no one paid attention}

Simpsons pp > needs a good cleaning

T3 > needs a good cleaning and some adjustments and maybe a update of firmware

Harely Davidson > outhole wear and needs a good cleaning

thats about all I can remember

Darn, another one bites the dust....

But there is no hope in making any money other than at Peel & St.Catherine arcade (Amusement 2000 - which always is going strong after so many years).  That is the only place in Montreal that I know of that has adapted and is still alive since the early 80s (and Amusement 222 in Laval - which we know was for sale not too long ago so it may just be dying now).

Triplex just didn't have a party atmosphere nor a great pool hall atmosphere nor anything to attract people into going back often.
And kids play the big arcade machines when they go to Guzzo cinema now so....

Anyway, the only thing nice at Triplex was the lovely 20 year old barmaid .

Well, it was only a matter of time. That place was empty all the time and must have cost a fortune to operate
Bummer that I still had about $10 left on my Triplex card too...

Speaking of operators, I went by the place on St-Catherine at lunch on Friday and the FG was cleaned up and playing perfectly (as was the POTC).  
An operator that keeps his machines working and clean: rare and endangered species!
