So the real trick is getting the awareness out there of where to find these machines. When I was visiting Portland Oregon, I popped into a couple of bar arcades that had large pinball collections mixed with video games, and even mid week they drew a crowd. It's a city known for having a huge collection of machines on site, while in a tightly packed square mile concentration. The Los Angeles area has a lot on site, but the area is so spread out it seems you never find any unless driving specifically to a location you know has some. Portland I just walked around and found them.So yes, market research would be huge, but the region is important too. The resurgence of pinball is not because of the 'pinball crowd', but because new blood is joining into it. The trick is letting them know it's there to begin with.</blockquote>
