1990 Chicago Fox32 News at Williams Pinball with Steve Kordek and Python Anghelo 

Thanks for digitizing these. I got hired by WMS right after pinball was cut---was so sad to miss the pinball era, but happy to have an office a couple of doors down from Mr. Kordek. Great to see video of him!

A prototype Whirlwind and a young Python. Cool!

Fantastic piece of history right here! Thanks again for cataloguing all of these. Pleasure meeting you as well at MGC, Mr. Brown.

They ALMOST got through it without playing pinball wizard....

Awesome to see two of my favorite pinball designers in the same video. I know Steve wasn’t very fond of Python but they played together nicely here. The interviewer really made it about himself though, didn’t he? Thanks for sharing this!

Cool to see that prototype earthshaker

You know, people arn't really gone. Looking at the earth just 15 light years away, all these guys are still with us

love these clips - keep them coming please

hi python, good work

had so much with this back in 99 when i was a kid

For the degenerate pinball trivia nerds out there, at :06 you can hear the very uncommon European prototype music from Rollergames (despite them showing Whirlwind's playfield).

Saying 1990 was the 60th anniversary of pinball is a bit disingenuous for the guy in the video to say. The first pinball machine was in 1931, so there's that. But really, early Pinball machines were not pinball. These were not games of skill for the purpose of entertainment, they were games of chance played for the gambling aspect. It's not the gambling part that makes them not pinball. You can gamble based on any modern pinball machine. It's the game of chance aspect. Unlike Pinball, it is not a game of skill. There is little to no skill involved. Even when the machines had flippers, they so far apart that it was just luck if you could hit the ball using the flipper.
