By the 80's almost everyone referred to them as machines, Jeff.My use of tables is an admittedly much older colloquialism, plus I was raised with friends in the industry and actually worked for Midway as an E.E. before being recruited by the Siemens Medical Imaging Division. I knew a lot of the gals who worked at the Gottleib manufacturing division when I was active in my Lodge. They comprised the main wiring harness manufacturing division. I wouldn't characterize my experience as mainstream by any means.That would account for a lot, besides the 20 - 30 years difference in time.BTW Indiana or Lake county suburbs was an entirely different cultural experience than Addison and California, regardless of era. It was a rough neighborhood to grow up in back in the day. And very much influenced by Riverview Park and Bally Pinball. I was just giving a insight into an older subset of the term that may have given rise to a popularity of the term later on.
