Not all ball separators are alike. And not all of them are
reliable. Dynamo engineers re-designed their cue ball separator
toworkwith both the special Dynamo 27.!:"ball and the standard
over sized ball. Because it operates on the weight differences
of the balls, no adjustment is ever needed. And Dynamo
guarantees it for the life of the table.
The Big D pool table is more than a game. It's a solid, secure,
maintenance-free investment.
Call Dynamo t.odey' for the best coin-operated pool table ever
built.

industry (or at least the coin-
operated amusement device portion
thereof) but, also, was responsible
for every operator related success
notwithstanding Space Invaders,
Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Centipede,
and every other video and pin game
ever introduced into this industry.
It has often been said that one of
the greatest advantages to a pub-
lisher involved in litigation is that
he may " try his case" in print and
without the impediment of opposi-
tion or the "ot her version" of the
facts, let alone having to satisfy the
basic requirements of the judicial/
legal system. The foregoing is
clearly evident in the editorial in
question, being that a literal reading
thereof gives the impression to the
reader that it is the "inherent right"
of Play Meter and its partner, Con-
ference Management Corporation,
to run a trade show unshackled by
competition-or at least without
competition from segments of the
industry which Mr. Lally character-
izes as "bad guys ."
While this matter may be, unfor-
tunately, ultimately decided in the
courts, nevertheless, it is encum-
brant upon the readers of the
various trade publications, most
importantly the operators, to
understand that it was and continues
to be the intention of AGMA and
A VMDA to provide to the operators
a new industry show-run by the
industry, for the industry, and with
the support of the industry.
If Mr. Lally is truly interested in
the industry-and that segment
generally referred to as the opera-
tors-as he continually states, one
would think that his efforts would
be better directed in pursuit of
obtaining better and more accep-
tance of the operators, their busi-
nesses , and their locations, parti-
cularly when faced with increased
and more prohibitive zoning, licens-
ing, and taxation laws. Inferring as
he did (in the now dismissed law-
suit) that this industry-specifically
the manufacturers and distributors-
are violating or have violated the
law, is hardly keeping with the spirit
of a publication supposedly dedi-
cated to the coin-operated enter-
tainment industry. We would there-
fore suggest to Mr. Lally that he, at
the very least, attempt to provide
unbiased and candid information
concerning his dispute with AGMA
