Hundreds of smashed pinball machines before being dumped in the river.

Gambling I'd assume (maybe organized crime associated as well)

Organized crime of course.

Did they really toss them in the river? That's surprising

They weren't pinball machines with flippers they were gambling types

Where can I find the source pic? I am thinking of framing a bunch of b&w photos of old NYC in my new place.

Not really. NYC dumped their garbage and sewage in the ocean.

Thanks, I'll give it a listen. I once saw an episode of Mysteries at the Museum on the Travel Channel that had a segment on Roger Sharpe and pinball machine that brought pinball back to NYC.
