I was just wondering what the ages are for the people who post on this web site. The future of the hobby depends on age of the collectors. If there are no younger people coming into the hobby of slot collecting, when the older ones are gone who is going to carry on and what value will the machines have. Also would like to know if there are any women involved in the hobby. I am 66 years young.

My kids 21 and 18 and wife have very little interest in the hobby,
they do play the slots but are much more interested in my arcade and pinball machines.

I am 60 years young and find my love for the old stuff more every day. I collect slots, arcade ,coke , and gas pumps and in my travels I always find new younger collectors and they are always impressed when they come over the house and most say they want to get what I have so I think collecting is here to stay.

49 and stranded in a state where machines are outlawed. Only know one other collector who's in his seventies. Absolute zero interest in this part of the world it seems.

Shame.
