You can't get someone to flip hamburgers for $5.50/hr these days!
Heck, to be a grunt worker in the mall this holiday season pays
$10/hr.

I have a friend who has an old pinball machine that doesn't work. He will
pay you $5.50/hr to work on it.
Thank you.

Hey Dave
I'll pay YOU $5.50 per hour to work on my pins. I'll bring them over this
afternoon. How many do you want? hehehe :-) Oh yeah, some of them are DE.
Is that OK? Oh yeah, I've got a Peugeot diesel that needs work too. I'll
drop it off in your driveway. Maybe you can get one of your buddies to work
on it?
Thanks, see you soon. LMAO
Dave Stambaugh
kind 're a pain. My garage is empty right now, so bring me the pins AND the
Peugeot. Diesel you say? Never worked on one of those before, but I'm sure
I can figure it out. How different can a Peugeot be from a
mechanical-action pinball machine?

You know, I have seen a few stupid posts on here, but this one has to take the
cake.

on my dad's cotton farm,all my life. Before the casinos came here and
spoiled things, people were begging to pick cotton for $4.50 hr. Now because
of all the casinos offering high wages of $6.50 - $7 hr (really) it's hard
to find reasonable cotton pickers. I'm sorry if Mr Engel was insulted by my
offer,I didn't mean he'd have to spend an hour on the phone with me all at
one time; I figgered maybe 10 minutes, but 6 times (+ I'd pay for call !)
Since my post,I have found out that the cost of living in NY is somewhat
higher than here ($ 7.50 hr avg wage in NY) SO, I can see that Mr. Engel
would want more. My Daddy always told me "you can't go broke taking a
profit" Even if Mr Engel is losing a little,he can make it up on volume !
Also if any of you guys ever passed my house, you'd know I'm not rolling in

I just came from the plumbing supply store where I purchased a new sink
drain assembly,after realizing the complexity of the job I offered the
plumber 5.50 an hour to come by and install it.He was insulted but offered
to install the part on my person no charge.Now my life's goal is to slander
Rocco's Plumbing. And so it goes.
I'm with you Steve,Good answer!

starting. Thus, I didn't take your post seriously.
Pinball repair is a highly technical skill. I don't expect you will find
anyone to work on pins for $5.50 an hour. My suggestion is this: post your
question on the newsgroup and you may get some free help. Sometimes this
works, and sometimes it doesn't. If you have no experience with electronics,
your best bet would be to have someone else look at the game, assuming that it
needs more than a fuse to get it working again.
Well, good luck!!

and the "what killed pinball" discussions.
Fact is, there are a lot of local pricing differences. The machines will
charge what the market will bear.
My OXO (1974) will run on two nickels for 5 balls if I set it up that way
(maybe even one), when many new games at that time were set up for one
quarter and three balls. The flyer says "Recommended Minimum Pricing: 2/25
cents -- 3 ball play"
Coin op manufacturer's knew this. That is why they put in so many pricing
options.
Payrolled skilled pintechs here make about $10/hr here and not many years
ago made $6-7 and out of that they have to run a car to get to work.
Learning ones (2-3 years of experience) make $6 now and have to hitch a ride
to go home to their 3 roommates in a 2 bedroom apartment.
There are a lot of places in the country where wages lag way behind general
costs and I am in one of them. This means people here don't have much
disposable income to spend on pins or anything else. Biggest retailers here:
Wal-mart, Big Lot's and Dollar General.
In areas like these, one will not find many $4,000 machines.
GO STERN!

are talking about time not volume. to say that more losing money orders make up
for one losing money order makes no sense to me. I would be better off having
no losing money orders than getting more.

Yanno, I think ALL of ya'll are twisted in the head. If you are
actually a fan of pinball, and love what you do, you would do it for FREE, as
I do occasionally. (No, obviously because of that, fixing pins is NOT my
lifestyle.)

it will benefit the collector community as a whole, but I really
resent folks who send me private email asking for help with their
problem with NO offer to compensate me for my time...like a box of PB
for instance... ;-)
