## Transcript

Here's a very positive development in the pinball world. A few minutes ago, Stern Pinball shared a video of a James Bond Pro being boxes up at its factory. It remains to be seen if Pros are going out in any significant volume yet, but we're getting there. I can't want to be able to put some time in on one at one of my local pinball venues, such as Jackbar or Rock Fantasy, both of which have one on order.
