Visit Our Patreon at www.patreon.com/silverballchronicles  or pick up a tee shirt at  https://silverballswag.com/collections/silverball-chronicles    Episode Summary  Last month we learned about Capcom, the video game company who wanted to get into the pinball industry and ride wave of popularity, just like Data East! It didn’t go well.  Even after Capcom disappeared, the lure of what could have been remained. That’s when we stumble upon a crazy collector and dreamer who ruined himself. Join us this month while we discover what happened to Capcom’s assets, tooling and making new parts vs. selling existing parts, more lawsuits, being a terrible business person or being a great guy, and a second crash and burn.    Sources:  TopCast Episode 42 – Python Angelo  Episode 56 – Ward Pemberton  Episode 52 – Stan Fukuoka  Episode 49 – Mark Ritchie  Episode 47 – Chris Granner  Episode 43 – Jeff Powell  Episode 11 – Gene Cunningham  Youtube.
