love your videos man, every cabinet not being mulched down into fertilizer is another semi immovable chunk of history kept intact, also the tip about the nail polish in the comments is spot on, a bit harsh and abrasive but ittl do the job just fine.

@boblow2186 Год назад

Hi. That’s a mighty fine looking machine now. Well done on finishing it up you had me worried in the last video. But broke now its not. Sure the costumer will be delighted with it I know I would. Bob.

@markjackson1444 Год назад

Great job Ronnie. This machine was just a half step away from landfill, or at least being parted out. You saved it, and sorted out its many problems. I’ve never seen a machine with so many mangled switches before this. For machines that were only designed to last 5 years, these machines sure defy the laws of gravity. … as long as someone like you comes along. Well done Ronnie and Joe. another classic Gottlieb saved.

@BaccarWozat Год назад

Gravity?

@pinball541 Год назад

@@BaccarWozat- The law of gravity states "What goes up, must come down". What he meant is these machines were made to make money for 5 years, after that, these machines were meant to be trashed or parted out. This machine went up when it was made, but after all these years it is still complete after 47 years. It hasn't come down to be trashed yet. It has survived its main purpose to make money, before it was supposed to be thrown away! Hello from Phoenix Arizona❕🔥

That came up real well! The explanation on the score real switch tension was very helpful, I’m sure I’ll use that info in the future.

@MoxyDave Год назад

I just love these videos. Thank you! I was never been interested in pinball until I ran across your channel. Can you talk about pricing? This is a huge amount of labor ... between the parts and labor, what does it cost you to refurbish a machine like this and what does it sell for eventually?

@PlumGurly Год назад

It is interesting that motor 1A and motor 4A both look like clock pulses on 2 different phases.

@LyonsArcade Год назад

Yup it's basically the same idea. You can see how they transferred a lot of what they were doing with switches into electronics basically acting like switches....

@lepinstar1089 Год назад

Happy 4th! Yeah, those score reel switches are tricky. Gottlieb made everything so darn small. They are hard to adjust once they get out of whack.

@hestheMaster Год назад

Electro-mechanical devices are such finickly beasts. Previous repair attempts usually bite the last guy ( you) in the butt when they eventually fail one way or another. Nice to see you can get this machine working as intended once again. It was so much fun watching you play it at the end.

@BaccarWozat Год назад

0:01 I have a copy of that Nintendo strategy book on the floor facing the camera. Doesn't bring back any fond memories though, I have a bunch of those. Strategy guides by people who didn't know all the tips, tricks or secrets, and usually couldn't take decent screen photographs. But it was all I had until I got to the point where I could afford the games themselves. Congrats on finishing the work on the pinball game! I love detailed looks at the inner workings of old electromechanical devices, though sometimes you just can't beat solid state integrated circuits. I mean, it might damage them.

@LyonsArcade Год назад

Don't beat them solid states!

@JamesUK-je4ew Год назад

Well, it’s taken me several hundred videos, but I had my epiphany moment at 20:40; I was actually shouting at the screen “4C must be closed as well!” before you did! First time I’ve felt I’ve learnt anything in the last 35 years! Seriously, though, I learn a little with every one of your videos, and you sharing them is so very much appreciated. Regards

@brad9529 Год назад

Hey could you possibly do a full restore to like new with one of them?

@LyonsArcade Год назад

I personally couldn't, I wouldn't really want one that was like new or want to spend the time making it that way. It can be done though, lots of people do it.

@brad9529 Год назад

@LyonsArcade I just thought it might be interesting, but that's cool, what you do is awesome.

@ocsrc Год назад

The chime sounded a lot better before you worked on them. They were very ding ding ding in the first four fifths of the video and at the end there very dull. Why did that happen ?

@LyonsArcade Год назад

There was no glass on it in the first half of the video, and in the first half of the video they were rattling off the metal brackets the chimes sit on, making more noise.

@timitbiscuit3620 Год назад

I like some EM machines, but I must say the invention of kickers really made a pinball machine. without them it is uh well. Just my opinion still a great game.

@LyonsArcade Год назад

Almost all EM's have kickers, those came along in like 1932. They can't make every single game have the same exact layout at the bottom so they have to try something different like this at some point. It's like saying "My favorite food is sea urchin!" and then you have Sea Urchin. Then the next night, instead of a steak, you say "a steak is not as good as Sea Urchin!" and won't eat a steak. Imagine a library with your favorite book in it.... and 10,000 copies of your favorite book. That would be a little boring, we need a little variety

@timitbiscuit3620 Год назад

Okay I like pinball games that have kickers. That simple. LOL.

@williamwallace9427 11 месяцев назад

Schematics... no schematics ... I still wouldn’t have figured it out. 😆

@toolate1776 Год назад

Thanks👍. A whole lot of hassle for almost nothing on these 4 score wheels. Indeed, in a RU-vid interview with Wayne Neyens (Gottlieb's board designer during the company's golden age), Wayne recounts how Gottlieb had sought to assess the value of putting 4 players on their games. To do this, they put counters on each player of machines offered to the public. They found that the 4th player was hardly ever used, and not much more the 3rd. But they continued to make them because operators asked for them!

@ocsrc Год назад

How are you doing that ? Getting the ball to stick there ?

@LyonsArcade Год назад

It's George!

@pinball541 Год назад

@@LyonsArcade- George definitely likes driving games, but plays pinball when the driving game runs out of gas.

@kingofl337 Год назад

The hanging ball can also be fixed with auto clear touchup/clear nail polish. You can just use the brush to dab some in the divit. You can also use a needle to drop it in. It will self level.

Its not suppose to do that, when it goes to second player first player lights go out. That is what my Spirit of 76 does what ever player is up the other lights on the other players go out until that player is up again.
