I'm early 30s and I love pinball
at least I'm not overweight and I fucking shave
But I agree that the stereotypical pinballers are usually 30s-40s guys either balding and/or with facial hair

In the 80's and 90's arcades were ubiquitous. I remember Street Fighter 2 machines and Mortal Kombats in every corner store or mom n pop store.
You'd learn about a machine from playing the fucking thing, or watching someone else play. Were would you read about arcade games? I recall mags dedicated to home PCs and consoles but was there ever dedicated arcade mags?

With the death of the arcade does anyone find that pubs and bars are great places to find pinball tables?
Even small venues that can barely squeeze in a single pool table will usually have at least a pinball machine and some buck hunt type shooting cabinet.
I'll post pics of some finds and lets have a pinball general.
