I will definately visit this place next time I am in St. Louis, assuming it is still open.  There are many on that list that I have not yet played.

Get on Chuck's mailing list before you make the trip to St Louis for the pinball arcade. He's only open part of the time, (3rd Friday and Saturday of the month IIRC) I've not been since he opened his shop up to the public, but I have played his collection. It's worth every penny of $10 for an evening with this pin lineup.

Chuck may not appreciate me replying for him but................

If as you stated arrangments of some special tax status were acquired I am sure it was done so with integrity & required to keep the doors open.

Sometimes cities will charge a business hundreds of dollars for every coin op machine they have. At $10 per person for just 2 days a month with over $100k in machines I am sure you can figure his ROI isnt profitable enough to support the government's spending on dinners to coax another walmart into their community.

Besides, even profitible ventures claim a number that truly differs from the real bottom line unless a merger or sale is pending.

Anyway he is also opening a 2nd building taking the total to 55 brand new & late 90's pinball machines + several arcades. Paying $10 for freeplay on all the games is a lot better than dropping the $100,000.00+++it would take to buy them all.

The only way to keep him open is to go as often as possible, its BYO-beer/food/soda & $10 for freeplay, its awesome & I cant wait till the next meet!

Sure, one day he may tire of sharing.....till then, pinball it up!
