Not sure if this has already been posted - PAPAS Flooded - Pinball Tragedy - :( http://www.papa.org/flood.php Post-flood damage pics are here - http://www.papa.org/flood/day2/ In the pic you can see that the water made it to about the middle of the backglasses. From the PAPA website - "Two hundred and thirty-two pinball machines have been destroyed, as well as a handful of classic video games, the extremely rare Tattoo Assassins prototype, a sitdown Omega Race, [edit] Gorf, Sinistar, [/edit] some great dancing games, et cetera. We do expect to be able to salvage plastics, some boards, coin mechs, backglasses, and most of the playfield glasses. Nothing will be done until a professional cleanup and restoration company has been through the facility. " |

sad to see :'( After a natural disaster runs through you never think about the loss in non-human life. I just hope they don't all end up on ebay with "minor water damage" |
