Picked up a couple more.

You should have seen the place, the wood floor was warped into huge waves, some almost 2 feet high, but still relatively smooth, like you could have still roller skated on it, and it would have actually been better.

Did they run a lot of bootleg games when you were a kid, because a lot of the stuff that got pulled out of there smelled bootleg. Several of the boards I found in the place were, and at least 2 of the cabs I brought smelled of bootleg games (generic overlays, new game marquee, etc).
Le Chuck:
Would've liked to have seen that floor.  Twas flat last time I skated there.  I'd say most of the rinks and bowling alleys around that area ran bootlegs.  There would be a few legit titles, usually environmentals or cockpit cabs, but by and large all the uprights were moody.  Same for the Carthage, Webb City, and Carl Junction area all close to Joplin.  Wonder if Four States Amusements or whatever they were called was responsible for most of them?
paigeoliver:
I got the changer working after a minor repair, which I am pretty proud of considering I have never touched a changer before and managed to fix it just off the error code sheet in 20 minutes without consulting the internet, and 10 of those minutes were waiting for the soldering iron to heat up. Still need to change the dip switch settings up a bit though, to set it to run on 2 hoppers (one hopper slot doesn't have a hopper in it) and change the signage to only show that it changes singles, as that 1981 validator isn't going to take the new $5 bills.

ah, that would be nice.  I'm far too abrasive nowadays to attract new friends.  Those with the social skills to have friends should be the ones with friends. 

I reap what I've sown.

This makes me sad to read.
