| I found this game on EBay. It was located in Metro Detroit 
                    at an arcade. Monopoly was a current machine at the time and 
                    I picked it up for 2k less than they were selling new. It 
                    was in bad need of a shop job and a few parts. I'm in the 
                    process of hunting down a NOS playfield for it now. It seems 
                    that the company who makes the playfields had a hard time 
                    with his one. I have seen a lot of playfields for sale but 
                    all of them look like seconds (smeared ink, bad registration.) 
                    As I'm writing this PinDel is tracking down one for me. I 
                    also plan on creating a backboard graphic. The machine comes 
                    with a red backboard that is very visible and very plain. 
                    I also purchased two boxes of spare parts for the machine 
                    from Marc B. and a Pat Lawlor autographed translite.  Just about everyone in the free world knows how to play the 
                  game. The pinball machine works the same way, collect properties 
                  and money. The bank is an interesting toy. It's a gate that 
                  stands in the way of accessing the left ramp. The twirling flipper 
                  on the right is interesting but on occasion it traps balls which 
                  is kind of a drag. I like the machine. People who come over 
                  also enjoy playing it.
