Once again... Joe motivated Ron with his thoughtful and truthful assessment of the situation. 🤣

@@Jesselovespinball Ditto for my self. Along with a "c'mon people... you can't... You cant' have..." one side of an argument.

@simondempsey1 Год назад

Ever since ive been watching you guys, "C'mon people" and "Its broke" have become part of my Vocabulary . Great video as always.

@LyonsArcade Год назад

Thanks for watching Simon, We appreciate it!

I just sat down for lunch when this video went live. It’s gonna be a good day!

@paulclarke7571 Год назад

It always amazes me how moving a few switch blades just a few millimeters, can solve a whole lot of problems. Great work Ron!

@sguttag Год назад

Looks like you got it most of the way this time. Nice job. Can't wait for the next episode.

@realalexsmith Год назад

Great video, the amount of troubleshooting and detective work is like a Columbo episode "just one more thing, is that a coin unit sir?"

@LyonsArcade Год назад

Columbo was the man

I like it when he says "It's broke". What people don't like is to be broke. OK, I have to ask you for something I haven't been able to find anywhere. I want to see if you happen to have a lock down bar for a Mars God Of War? It's a system 80 wide body. I don't care if it's ugly. I don't care it it's bent, I can fix that. If someone has one, I could use it. Thank you. By the way, I love your videos. You really have quickly helped me to understand how pinball machine work. Of course I still have a lot to learn and I will continue to watch your videos. I think the word you were looking for is interaction.

I think "engagement" was the word you were looking for regarding the thumbs up button and YT algorithm. And you got bonus engagement from me leaving this comment! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the videos, really neat watching how the EM pinballs work, and the troubleshooting process, tracing the schematics. Great videos, thanks for putting them out there for us to watch!!

@LyonsArcade Год назад

Thanks for watching, We appreciate it!

@jumpingjack2605 Год назад

Love the way you explain the schematics Ron, I still have a couple glitches on my Gottlieb that I think I can iron out thanks to you

@LyonsArcade Год назад

You can do it!

@buddyweiz Год назад

All hail the mighty algorithm! ..and Ron & Joe too!

@LyonsArcade Год назад

Thanks Buddy, We appreciate it!

@EsotericArctos Год назад

Interaction might be the word you wanted lol :) This is going to be such a fun game when you finsih it. Looking forward to seeing it.

@markjackson1444 Год назад

Great video. The good thing about games that don’t work is that they don’t get any more abuse. They just stay suspended in time until someone like Ronnie comes along and fixes them. Then they get worn out some more until they break down again. This machine looks like it has spent a lot of time not working. That playfield is pretty handsome, and the cab looks reasonable too. What a great game ‘for the whole family’.

@LyonsArcade Год назад

I've had some in before I'm convinced only worked two years and broke, then they sat like that just as you said, perpetually perfect.

@irieman442 Год назад

What a cool concept. Can't wait to see the playfield all cleaned and waxed. The cost to print the back glass must have been expensive. If it was mine, I might get a repro glass and put the original in a safe place. I doubt many originals are around in that condition. Be a shame if something was to happen to it. (use NY gangster voice) LOL

@jameshead8919 Год назад

Love this game, thanks for filming the work!

@Cool_Retro Год назад

I definitely remember this Gottieb machine back in the day. There were several machines by them with a similar layout. One of my favorites for sure.

@vstags Год назад

Great job on a cool old game

Folks, don't let your kitties play in the EM's it drives Joe and Donny crazy. Great Work.

@davidh6713 Год назад

The coin unit subtract coil counts down and scans players for matches.

@LyonsArcade Год назад

That is the missing piece of the puzzle, thanks David

@marvintaylor5338 Год назад

Thanks for the video. I’m new to EMs and am working on my Gottlieb Jet Spin. I am having some of these same issues. This helps me think of troubleshooting areas I need to look at. Also thanks for walking through the schematics. That is very helpful too. I love the community that is out there that is willing to share their knowledge with each other and us newbies.

Paint a PacMan on top of the robot vacuum. He can Wakka Wakka around the shop.

super awesome game

@Bob-sd7qr Год назад

Love the game and the video... Thanks! I was following the schematic until you got to the coin unit, then my brain blew a fuse! BTW, are the lower flippers mismatched? Can't wait for the next one Ronnie!! ✌️

@LyonsArcade Год назад

Yes they are, one is a original gottlieb and the other is a bally, back in the day the operators would use what they had :)

@78trnsam Год назад

If I didn't know better I would think that this machine was set up by an instructor in a EM Repair Tech Class for the class to do a hands on repair as the final test before graduation.

@LyonsArcade Год назад

It seems that way! It's like they broke it on purpose.

@johnmichael1979 Год назад

Excellent work Ron! Impotant ball shooter.....don't they have a pill for that?

I wouldn't know!

@waynegram8907 Год назад

JOE, The Reset Control Relay, is resetting which stepper units and relays? I'm not sure if all EM games all have a Reset control relay. I don't know what the reset control relay is going because I thought that all the stepper units and score reels have zero position switches which get reset only by the EM start button or ball outhole switch or the game over switch. The Reset control relay but be connected to the EM start button, ball outhole switch, game over switch, anti cheat switch, tilt switch>?
