*** Rochester pinball games ***

50/75/100 = cents for 1/2/3 games
25 = one quarter per game
EC, VGC, GC, MC, PC = excellent, very good, good, marginal, poor condition
hard tilt = hard to tilt; i.e. takes abuse
easy tilt = easy to tilt; i.e. don't breathe on it too hard
no replay = extra ball instead of free game
(date) = last played/seen                                                   
[date] = info from Dave Hollinsworth (hlsw_ltd@uhura.cc.rochester.edu)
tile floor: game slides too much, often resulting in tilt
