I have a location in Walled Lake Michigan with
a new Spiderman and a new Pirates of the Carb.
It's a video store (Crazy Carl's, 1340 S. Commerce rd,
Commerce MI), so not a high volume arcade location.
In fact, the first 2 weeks of earning on these two
new Stern games was like $30. These new sterns
have white/red rubber by the way. (I just *hate*
black rubber.)
So for fun, i put a $150 Gottlieb Fast Draw
that I bought and cleaned up on location
next to the new Stern solidstates. Put the
game there friday night, and check on the
games yesterday (sunday). So that's 48 hours
of "on location" time.
Here's the paid audits:
2005 Stern Pirates: 2 games (50 cents/game, 3 balls)
2008 Stern Spiderman: 3 games (50 cents/game, 3 balls)
1975 Gottlieb Fastdraw: 27 games (25 cents/game, 3 balls)
So basically the Fastdraw kicked solidstate ass!
Because of this, I bought a nice Gottlieb Jumpin Jacks
last night for $400, and i'll put that on location
at Crazy Carl's too. And I'm thinking about adding
an OXO and a Capt Fantastic to the mix too.
For reference, pictures of the Fastdraw are here:

Also if you go play the games, please rent a movie
from Crazy Carl. The last thing I want to happen is
Crazy Carl goes out of business!
