1981 Gottlieb BLACK HOLE Pinball machine

Finally got my sort-of recently acquired BH up and running yesterday. Have 2 more to resurrect for a friend, so this is a very good thing. Super stoked that I found one to replace the one I accidentally sold 12 years ago (that's what I used to tell myself). This one goes nowhere, it is staying in the collection. It's not done yet, but it's play testing pretty good after about 6 hours of messing with it.

That's a bad ass pinball machine. I was a bit young when this one came out. Thanks for showing it off.

It gets crazy when you have balls on top and under the table at the same time!

[@jfkassnation5980]

The memories.. I miss those old-school sound effects.. great vid

[@luke144]

This was always my favorite machine!

[@wbmeprograms4505]

Had this as a kid. Great machine. Miss it!

[@Skeeballman64]

I remember playing this in that one digital compilation of all those pinball tables, forgot what it was called.
I always thought the astronaut with the track suit looked weird acting like he was holding a steering wheel or something.

[@ThomasGrillo]

Very cool table! Thanks for sharing this.

[@Railoffroader2]

I remember the first time I ever saw this game, it was at the former Bally’s Aladdin’s Castle Arcade in the Nanuet Mall (NY) back in the early 80’s!

[@Mr_x_19922]

I made 3.217.650 points on this table, it is such an amazing table a head of it's time and very fun to play

[@alanford1601]

That 2 ball double flipper action at 3:42

[@konardkonrado7755]

yeah i was like at the beginign there is something below , what? you can play there? lol

[@marcelochagra3307]

Some complain about the physics of this machine in The Pinball Arcade game, but from what I see, it's two peas in a nutshell. The ball moves the same.
The Pinball Arcade (in addition to Pinball FX and Zaccaria Pinball) gives us the possibility of getting closer to the real machines for a few dollars. And a virtual pinball is an excellent option.

[@DeepspirT]

My alltime faved pinball machine ! Always been on my number #1 spot. On the 2nd place The Addams Family and my top 3 also includes the old Taxi pinball 😁👌It came out when i was 13 years old so i played it al lot back than in the pubs.

[@christiemccurley7185]

My dad built a bar in our daylight a basement.. or club haha anyway he was always putting pinball machines and cool stuff and this was my favorite of all time I loved it !!

[@theimmensegamer3367]

This pinball machine is on the videogame Pinball: Hall of Fame - The Gottlieb Collection, which was my first exposure to this machine.

[@jonasking9587]

Best machine ever made.

[@meow_bastard]

No Medieval Madness is

[@Ur2ez4me81]

meow bastard meh I love medieval madness but this has more nostalgic.

[@eagerphoenix966]

@@Ur2ez4me81 i love both

[@danielbspinola]

Only issue is this machine is a maintenance nightmare

[@TampaTec]

3:15 confusing but looks like fun. Playing multi ball on 2 playfields I never tried that.

[@teamdustyttm1532]

The pinball arcade(Nintendo Switch) has this in a DLC pack(Gottlieb)

[@EQOAnostalgia]

I really like this machine!

[@oOKakarotOo]

wow its so cool to see the real thing. i only saw it in the videogame. i wish i can play it now

[@Kraken-rex9743]

I would highly want one of those

[@808zhu]

Sick machine!!

[@justingreenfeld]

Love the white flipper rubbers

[@paulopadavona8170]

I remenber this machine here in São Paulo - Brazil in 80's

[@danielbspinola]

Boa! Tmj. Tinha uma naquela galeria da al santos com joaquim eugenio de lima eu acho

[@paulopadavona8170]

@@danielbspinola Tudo bem ? Nessa galeria eu não cheguei a ver a máquina, eu joguei na Black Hole num bar que existia na Vila Alpina na Rua Costa Barros esquina com a rua Dr Vicente Giacagline ao lado do colégio, isso por volta de 1983. Atualmente esse bar não existe mais e no local agora é uma papelaria.

The background music of the game would drive me nuts.

[@twistedyogert]

Sounds kind of creepy. Like imagine being in a poorly lit basement and hearing this thing start up.

[@CreesNostalgiaHut]

@@twistedyogert I KNOW!

[@Railoffroader2]

@AM Conquer It was made in 1981 🤣

[@donmorton7282]

Phenomenal

Classic

[@BAKU2K2]

At 5:50, I can see you have the 1971 Computer Space arcade game paired with Black Hole.

[@DowntownWithBrown]

0:45 Was the flipper malfunctioning?

[@BiggestLittleArcadeReno]

Nope. I was going for a tap pass. Then trying to practice right after.

[@christian.ko.1]

Was about to chirp you during the first minute of play. But as the video goes on your skill shows.

[@omargallardo7213]

It's great, where can I buy one?

[@Kimberlite66]
