Are you talking about the entire history? ;) Brian Epstien started it all in the Broadway Arcade in New York.
From then on, they had it in New York until the Broadway was shut down. He had it once in LV, then gave up.
Then comes along Kevin Martin, VP of The Steel City Pinball Assoc. He decided to revive PAPA. He formed a Corp, and owns/or acquired almost everyone of those 200 machines. I believe he also leased the building. But it's most of his collection. Finance: Well, originally, all the pins were owned by the operator. It's kind of like the same it is today. You put into the pot, and someone comes out 10,000 richer. I just wish there were west coast versions of this ;) On Tue, 21 Sep 2004, Pete Ashdown wrote:

Out of curiosity how did they finance the original PAPA? The place looks like a dream come true (well aside from the lack of vids).
