I suppose it is typical, though,
of the warped, moronic mentality
of many operators in this busi-
ness. Having worked as a mecha-
nic for five years, I know.
How about an apology Dick?

You gave me so many good ideas .
Thanks!!
I do not have an arcade but
some of my street locations have
as many as a dozen games. You
mentioned some ideas you had
about applying the league con -
cept to pinball. I really like to
promote so any more thoughts
you could pass along will certain -
ly be appreciated.

Just read your article in PLAY
METER on "Cleaning House."
VacaHon plans
In your April 15, 1979 issue,
you have a picture of an arcade on
the front cover, but you do not
tell where the same is located.
I would be very interested in
going to see this arcade. Is it
possible to get information as to
where it is located?

MOM address
Please send us the mailing
address of the Music Operators of
Michigan as we would like to
obtain copies of their advertise-
ments on why locations shouldn't
buy equipment, as was mention-
ed in the October, 1978 issue of
PLAY METER.

Sick Dick?
On reading the recent "funny"
news from Dick Welu, one
wonders what type of sick mind
could joke about the tragic events
of the son of Sam.
