I was in high school at the time. I think what I miss most was what I thought about the future. The future held more money, more girls and awesome music. It seemed like every day a new, great song was being played on the radio. Never thought those bands would get old, break up, retire or die.

I was 18 in 1978 and roller skated with the pretty girls.
I grew up ice skating in Minnesota and lettered on the high school hockey team as a starting defensemen in hockey. The transition to roller skates was easy. |

I graduated from Dental School in 1977. Our yearbook photos (I was the photoeditor and chief photographer) shows how we were.
Picture shows my bosses (Newbrun, Cariology; Greenspan, Oral Path) and my lab group (Oral Biol Lab)...I dated one periodontist while a dental student) |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
It depends The pre-1977 electro-mechanical pins are practically free because nobody can keep them running The post-1977 solid-state games run from a few hundred all the way up to $10,000 70s solid state pins are very simple and slow-playing, I don't like them. The collectors all want the 1990s Bally-Williams. Those games are the pinnacle of pinball in terms of art and gameplay. The 80s pinballs are less desired but are still great games. A classic 90s pin like Addams Family is going to run you around $5000 to $7000 A classic 80s pin like Williams High Speed is going to be around $1500 The nice thing is that the games don't lose value. I paid $2500 for my Twilight Zone, I could sell it for $6000 easy. So it's hard to go wrong. check this out, a pretty decent price guide - http://www.bostonpinball.biz/ebay0516.htm Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I miss 1978 in everyway... I was on top of the world and taking a road trip across the country when the national speed limit was 55 listening to Foghat fool for the city on 8 track. Sounds like my life experience in '78. I graduated high school, family moved to Louisiana, so I decided to visit my friends back in Florida. That was one fun road trip, just a dumb 18 yr old on my own, in a '70 Dodge Charger, heading out to Florida. I installed an 8-track player the night before I left. But I don't miss the 70's much. I had a lot more fun in the 80's. |
