Real Pinball,(not on a computer), that would be 1942. It cost a nickel I believe, a not inconsiderable when minimum wage was about 35 cents an hour. We used to hang out at this particular, "Smoke Shop" and on Sunday afternoons someone would put in a nickel, sart playing, then four or more people would lift the machine off the floor and have a ball try to go through a slot backwards. We continued this until the spring in the slot was bent enough that a ball going through in the correct direction would just make the spring move enough to increase the score but not go through. This was done until we had a good number of free games, then the procedure was reversed and the spring was bent back to normal. We would then play for free all afternoon, making wagers of a nickel or so. The afternoon would not be complete without everyone smoking up a storm and eating Neilson's Malted Milk chocolate bars that had been frozen to teeth-chipping hardness! Everything seemed to be a nickel then, games, pop, chocolate bars, and even cigarette papers, used to roll real cigarettes, not soul destroying "reefers"!

This past summer, we went to an arcade in Gatlinburg, TN and played all the old, fun games. Had a blast, although I sucked at pinball.
