About this audio guide
This guide to the Pinball Hall of Fame follows Tim Arnold, the Michigan teenager who ran pinball machines for dimes and built an arcade empire with his brother before retiring young to Las Vegas. It traces how he shipped roughly a thousand machines west, restored them himself in a backyard shed, and turned the whole nonprofit collection into a home for charity nights benefiting the Salvation Army. Somewhere on the floor sits a machine bearing Elton John's face, tied to a payment its owner says he's still waiting on.
