Profession installation of the playfield and part replacements was done by my friend John Freel, owner of Elkhart Pinball He has a 146 pictures taken during the process. Below is a link to all of the pictures during the rebuilding process. C&P was Established Feb 2. 1984 first named (C&P Enterprises) and later in 1985 converted to C&P Distributing. The name change was to suit the company’s business model. We supplied and serviced amusement operators in northern Indiana and southern Michigan. We worked with Aladdin’s Castle early in the mid-80s through the mid-90s by purchasing whole games that were no longer needed for their operations. We started looking at the parts value of a board we couldn? T sell and stripped them mainly for Eproms. We continued advertising in Play Meter until the magazine shut down a few years ago. Later, in 1994, this became our primary business. The thought 30 years ago was that arcade games would use computers and the internet to connect players worldwide. Being in that business ahead of the change would help position us. Somehow, due to the ignorance and greed of the manufacturers, this change is occurring very slowly and is not what we envisioned. Today, most of the products we sell are from the early part of our business, and most items were stored in our climate-controlled building without being powered on until we just posted them. We carefully cleaned if needed, took pictures, and then posted them after market research to determine value. We bought a 42,000-sq-ft building and have been renovating it, hoping to move in next year. Proceeds from the sale of these parts will fund that project. We greatly appreciate all the support everyone has already provided through our sales and we will be adding more items as time permits. At some point, we will have rare and unique one-of-a-kind whole games available, so please keep checking on our new postings. Thank you again for your support. John Pierce C&P Distributing CEO.
