![]() He doesn't owe anyone in the pinball community anything.Īs far as "machines in his collection" again who has the right to complain about him having "all those machines in storage". If he has things set up so all his machines just get sold off once he passes on that is his right. His goal isn't to please everyone who walks through the door.Īnd as far as Tim's long range plans - that is and should be his business. ![]() Tim's goal - plan and simple - is to give as much as possible each year to charity. ![]() What a collection and add to that fact all the money he takes in goes to charity (and he even brown bags his lunch to keep cost down) is pretty amazing. I have only been to PHOF 3 or 4 times but I was blown away. Is Tim perfect - NO! Could things be done better at PHOF - FOR SURE! But for one guy to do what he has done is pretty amazing if you stop and think about it. How many of the rest of us have retired before we were 40 years old? How many of the rest of us have run arcades? How many of the rest of us have given hundreds of thousands to charity?īefore you bash what Tim is doing how about you let everyone know how much money you gave to charities last year or how many hours you worked for nothing last year? Tim has done things his way for over 40 years and things have turned out very well for him. Tim doesn't give a shit who thinks what about how he does things. Tim is retired (and has been for years) and doing something fantastic for his community. What percentage of his machines do people think should be 100%? ![]() Now take into the fact that someone like Tim has 20 times or more machines being played daily than most people own. How many people with home collections have all their machines running 100% at any given time? I would bet less than 10% of us can say every machine we own works like it should!!! Most home collectors have 10 machines or less (unless you are totally crazy like some of us in the hobby). Over & over I see post saying what Tim & others are doing wrong that are in the hobby or running retro arcades so how about we put a little logic to the entire issue of "poorly maintained machines". ![]()
