Arcade Services Arcade Repair Pinball Repair South Jersey, New Jersey

I just read the Atco guy's story with Gary. I guess there's a bunch of us who got taken by this guy. Similar sequence-of-events. Opens up pinball machine, takes out a circuit board, says he has "a guy" in Bensalem, PA who tests/repairs the board, and he'll be back in 3-4 weeks. That was before Thanksgiving 2012! Takes $200 from me. $100 for the call which will be credited for the repair and an extra $100 because it will help him with the board-repair costs. And again, this cash will be credited for a total bill which he figures would be around $300. This is not candy-money numbers, this is significant cash. I can understand money problems and am a fairly reasonable person. However, I've emailed this guy 3 times and called him 4 times -- no response. Once, I called from a different number and surprise(!), he answers. Said he was in the middle of another service call (another sucker like me, I guess) and could he call back in an hour. It never happened. So here is what I'm going to do. I'm going to get in touch with him from a new phone number at a new address (at one of many of my friends' houses -- hell, maybe even one or two who have bars with many pinball machines) and claim I'm a new customer looking for someone to repair a broken machine. And when he comes to that address, I will be there waiting for him. So he can give me a face-to-face explanation about what's going on, of course.
