you solved your own problems

I have my own problems.

While professionalism as well as
propriety inhibit me from making
AOE support
I want you to know that I and all
my operator friends, here in Wichita
and all over America, support you
and AOE in your battle against
AGMA.
I,
In fact, I prefer AOE over the
AMOA Show. My company has sent
at least three of our employees to
every AOE.
Your editorials in the February l,
1984 Play Meter (p. 6-7) really hit
the nail square on the head. The
manufacturers , some worse than
others, are so arrogant and dictator-
ial it is not surprising they also do
not negotiate in good faith. It seems
these same manufacturers are not
participating in AOE 1984. Good! I
won 't miss them in the least.
I wish you success in your battle-
the operators ' future will be ad-
versely affected if AOE and Play
M et er lose this fight, which was
initiated solely by AGMA.

Solve your
own proble ms!
I'm not really interested in the
internecine problems of AGMA-
AOE/ Play Meter. ( Play Meter,
February 1, 1984, p . 6 )
It does nothing to help me as an
operator, and it wastes my time
reading about it.
I think that the industry and your
magazine would be better served if
PLAY METER. March 1. 1984
the kind of reply that is really neces-
sary to an "editorial" appearing in
the recent issue of Play Meter ("Up
Front," Play Meter, February 1,
1984, p. 6); nevertheless, to allow
this sort of one-sided tirade by
Ralph Lally to stand without
response is, in my opinion , a dis-
service to the entire coin-op indus-
try. Cutting through the obvious
literary license and temerity con-
tained in the rhetoric of Mr. Lally,
one is led to believe that Ralph Lally
not only single handedly created the
