Known as The Pinball Doctor, Chris Nash recently passed away. Pinside reported his death and asked the online community to “please raise your flippers with me in a salute to a man who literally saved boatloads of machines in his lifetime.”
Chris, who lived in Eugene, Ore., was a key figure in getting machines into shape for the Pacific Pinball Museum’s annual expos and “was always more than happy to share some of his 40-plus years of knowledge” – and even pinball parts.
Amusement Unlimited’s Jerry Johnston said Chris was a really nice guy who worked in the industry for years as a technician (he did some of that with Jerry’s company and others, plus arcade bars) and also sold pinball machines across the country.
