I'm trying something new this week, I created a compilation of all of the arcade and pinball industry news from my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/KnappArcade) into an article here. If people like it, I may make it a weekly feature. Let me know what you think and if you ever come across any interesting industry news shoot me a link at knapparcade@gmail.com!
