John is the owner of the Appalacian Pinball Museum, we ran into each other just before the Asheville Pinball Museum opened when he was loading a Simpson's pinball into his truck. He's still amazed at the resurgence of popularity with pinball, and sometimes wishes the machines wouldn't break so damn much. When I asked him about politics 'things are too divided right now, and I try to stay away from it as much as I can'.
