I like the idea of taking the pinball machine, only for educational purposes and grassroots organizing...🤓
I think we should take it only as long as we promote it on Sudo Room social media.
I'll stand aside if folks think it is bad idea for space and COVID concerns !
On a completely unrelated but vital note,
I forget if Sudo Room or Noisebridge was wanting to do a virtual watch-a-thon of Hackers 1995 movie and everyone dress up as their favorite character.
I'm fairly sure the Acid Burn character plays pinball in that movie.

Yar I think that we should consider using the space we do have to host this
machine while we find a forever home for it, considering Michael is offering it
to us for free and doesn't mind if we keep the money from the sale of it.
We would be able to have it and (safely) let members look at it and learn from
its cool DIY design while posting it looking for a buyer. I don't think we're
using the space we have in the way that we used to right now anyway, so it
seems like a good fit to me.
Does anyone else feel this way?
