What is the average age of RGP participants?
Chris Munson
Time again for my "somewhat annual" poll of the RGP group....I had been asked
several months ago to do another one of thees polls, but had no time. In that
this group is in a more-or-less constant "flux" of participants, I wish to
again ask the group about their demographics, to see "where we're at".
Please provide the following information - at the end of this week, I'll
tally and crunch all of it:
Age
Number of games
Titles (if you wish, but please hyphenate or add "*" to them)
Geographic location (new category - I'd like to see the distribution)
Number of years in hobby
Favorite manufacturer (Bally/Stern/Williams/Chicago Coin/Gottlieb) - new

My dad got me interested in pins a few years ago; after saving up a little
"birthday money" ($200), I bought my first machine, a Bally (1989) Atlantis.
Since then I have bought/sold/traded multiple games,
fixing/cleaning(shopping) them when necessary - but usually only having one
machine at a time though.
Anyone here younger than 16? I'd be quite interested to find out :o)

I'd say I've been in the hobby 10 years, but I did own a Gottlieb O lympics in
the early 1970's for a few years
Gottlieb is my favorite (to buy and own), but I really enjoy playing the newer
Williams more

7 Games on hand = *Terminator2,*Pinbot and his *Bride, *Earthshaker
KEEPERS
*Centigrade 37 (sold), *Future Spa and *Lucky 7,
projects.
Gone but not forgotten= *Frontier, *Black Knight (3!), *Eight Ball,
*Black Jack, *Mata Hari, *Getaway (should have kept!), Phoenix, *Dr.
Dude, *Taxi, *Champ, *Darling, *Space Time, *Banzai Run (should have
kept), *Big Guns, *Nipit, *Evel Knievel.
I like finding cheap dead machines in garages, fixing them up and
reselling just to break even.
Still want Jackbot, Bally Atlantis, and whatever.
I prefer Williams Electronic games, but have learned to fix Gottlieb
EM's.
5 years in the hobby, played old Gottliebs in Norco/Corona Calif in
1970-75 during school years.
