I'm sitting back and munching on the popcorn for this one...

A place called P.J.'s Pinball recently closed...and a war is brewing between its owner Pat and Fabulous Fantasies' Herb Silvers:

Looks like Pat has taken his anger to Craigslist...lol:

ONE BIG reason why I stopped going there and joined this site!
All the sissy's, cry babies, govn ranters, spammers, neo govn scared types, and whatever on that site...

And the one person could have spelled douche bag right!

Heh, it's just pinball people!

It's business. Has little to nothing to do with pinball, and really doesn't matter what they're selling. It could be toys, pinballs, legal advice, cars, whatever. Brings out the best and worst in people. Apparently it turned these guys into 13 year old morons.
 
I had Pat work on a few pinballs of mine, he did a good job and I had no problems at all, and his rates were very reasonable. He was clearly someone who loved pinball machines and it was sad to see that his retail business was struggling over the past few years. his store was really cool.

I don't recall anyone ever bad mouthing the guy here on KLOV or anywhere else due to service related issues.
 
I've known Pat for 10 years now, he's a good, honest tech and a good friend. It's sad to see his museum closing. I learned most of what I know about fixing games from him, as he let me come in after store hours to help work on his games and games that were in for repair.

I have had bad experiences with Herb and Alan Meyer so I would recommend staying away from them. Not like it would be tough to not want to pay 3,000 for a pimp my ride version of an EM. :)
