It would be cool if there were local private arcade clubs where classic arcade enthusiasts who don't have the space, the money or electronic tech know-how to service and maintain these games, could pay a membership fee to play these games. Arcade machine owners could highly screen who gets a membership to the club. It would be fans who revere the games as much as the owner and not just riff-raff off the street/kids who can't appreciate the games for what they are and would leave cig burns on them or mis-treat them. It seems like it could be good thing for all involved. Owners could get a fee plus whatever their machine takes in in quarters. Their investment in their classic machines could finally help pay for themselves without having to be put out on location in a bar/bowling alley or public arcade where it would suffer a lot of wear and tear and possible damage. It's a lot better than a bunch of classics gathering dust in some collectors basement or garage that he rarely plays anymore and will just sell of to another collector when he needs to free up some space.
