[SportsandRec] Bowling and Skiball

[Tom Evans]

Joseph, small little fact on buying old pinball machines. I remember seeing a news clip about a place in Portland Oregon that claims to have the largest collection and you can buy or rent. I would think it be pretty costly to mail A pinball machine but I think most people rent it and then end up owning it. But it was a huge warehouse of old operational machines and of course I don’t know the name of the company… But they were in or around Portland Oregon.
