This Simpsons Pinball Party machine is the greatest and most fun pinball, in my opinion. So much to do, so many different modes.... the playfield is gorgeous and colorful, and so many characters are a part of the game......it's just a really fun machine. Yesterday, I was playing TRON pinball, STAR WARS pinball, a bunch of the Terminator pinballs, and they just were not as fun.
Hey TNT, This is an awesome video. I'm not really a fanboy of pinball machines they are cool but from a distance HOWEVER!, when I saw the Simpsons pinball arcade at a local game event I spent hours and a few ££ just playing it. It is an absolutely amazing machine so much fun with some amazing features.
Fantastic work! I use to own a world challenge soccer but recently sold it but this machine is my favorite pinball machine ever. The only thing is I live in Australia and cant afford it because in the AUS there worth 6,000++ so it is very difficult to find one.
Another awesome vid and another awesome game! I would love to own one someday. Haven't seen a White Water in any of your vids either - do you guys ever get that one? Also one of my favs. Keep up the great work, I'll keep watching, and keep hoping I can pay you guys a visit one day.
TNT Amusements Inc I was way off with the years, I assumed that licensing of games was in the 70's. If you do find the answer, it would be great if you posted it. Thanks Todd!!!
I see you sell an array of different pinball games by many manufacturers. What in your opinion is the best manufacturer and what are your best selling pinball games?
Well, that's a real tough one. Because EACH manufacturer has made their unique mark on the world of Pinball---even Wico--who made only ONE commercial pinball machine, contributed some really neat first time innovations into AFTOR (Watch my Understanding Pinball AFTOR to see them!) I will have to decline on picking a BEST manufacturer because I happen to love ALL of them! The best selling game is also not easy to answer quickly, as I would have to page through some 25,000 machines we have sold since 1984, when we started selling games to the home. I DO remember we sold over 50 F14 Tomcat machines...but there are others. That wuill be a good project for me!
TNT Amusements Inc Thank You for answering so quickly! The wife has been asking me to put a pinball machine in the 'man cave' (slated to be renamed to 'wife cave' soon i'm sure), so i wanted to start my search on popular machines that have modern features and that appeal to both kids and adults. We love your videos and watch every one! Thanks Again!
I give them 2 hours.........just kidding! It takes quite a long time...but everyone seems to catch on pretty well! Curt has been with me since 1984--my longest continuous employee. I have had a number of guys leave and then come back for awhile, and then leave again....I seem to be a place of refuge for some! Many guys still come back part time--especially at the holiday time! I now have TWO Philly cops that work here part time for instance...one was Ryan, featured in older RUclips videos and HIGH SCORE.
So jealous you guys have all the know how on how to fix and maintain pinball machines. Love pinball, unfortunately born with two left hands or how to read all the diagrams that go with the wiring.
He stole a total of 80 games...oddly enough, fellow KLOVERS found several of the EBay completed auctions....the police tracked down 4 machines...which totaled over $10,000 my cost (brand new machines) that were local enough for them to check serial numbers. That made the case a felony. They never tracked down the other 76 games though. (a total loss of $108,500 my cost), and not covered by insurance. He plead innocent until 1 hour before trial, then changed to guilty...and had to pay me $10,500 for the 4 games and got 2 years probation...and has bad mouthed me ever since!
Gee whiz.... That's a bad deal for you. That's not justice but what can you do if you can't find the games. Still, over $10,000 stolen and no jail time... hard pill to swallow, along with the $100,000 out of your pocket. How do you reckon he got the games? Was it over time or all in one go? I wonder if you'll ever be able to find those other 76...
***** He did it over 5 weeks...as the games were in a separate warehouse...he would meet his partner (who got zero time for ratting out this creep)....the games were purchased from individuals who said they didn;t know they were stolen...so I cannot get them back...police were not interested in the other games once he was convicted of the 4 games.
Wow, that's awful. I can't believe he got away with $100,000 worth of games.... Wouldn't it be more right if you were able to take your games back and those buyers would go after him? I dunno, seems really terrible to me... I would be an angry soul after that. Its really good of you to keep your humor.
eh think the wife's mouths on the floor Tammy broke top 3 :P so who's getting their votes out today. :) any particular reason you've switched the lithium batteries to coins??
This used to be at the Chuck E Cheese arcade that my dad would take me to every week! He was a master at playing this machine! So many memories!
You need to buy him one of these from me to make him happy!
I know I loved it, it was so fun
Still have mine and it’s the talk of everyone’s visit. My son always has to do a tournament when he visits!
BEAUTIFUL SIMPSONS! TODD YOU PLAYED THIS GAME GREAT!
Joystick Evolution 1 Thanks!!
What a chill work environment, I'd kill for the maintenance guy's job.

You're the best kind of boss.

bio2020 SImpsons has a definite following!
Agreed!
Great Video ! (from : the switch maker at The Pinball Resource ! )
Ahhhh! We LOVE your switches!! Cabinet, End of Stroke, Target....without you, we would be in BIG trouble!
awesome machine as usual Todd.
Thanks John!

This game has MANY fans!
Big Big Fan was her Getting some entertainment Boys.... Tilt it!

+TotallyAwesome Thank you!!! Wish games were cheaper over there!
TNT Amusements Inc yeah same i would of got one of these by now
If only I could own one of these games :(
you have good videos and i'm hoping that they put this Pinball Machine on Pinball Arcade
MrTamiya89 Richie will have it in his arcade!
Another awesome vid and another awesome game! I would love to own one someday. Haven't seen a White Water in any of your vids either - do you guys ever get that one? Also one of my favs. Keep up the great work, I'll keep watching, and keep hoping I can pay you guys a visit one day.
Have not had a WW pass through here in over two years....remember---there are ALOT of games out there!
Are there any for sale
Sometimes I hate not living in America, any chance of opening a store in Ireland? haha
designerunderpants I am certainly sure others will open uyp retro-arcades over the next few years---there seems to be a demand!
Todd, what was the first pinball machine to use a theme from a popular film or TV show? What year did the machine come out?
Oh boy...will have to think about that....this will go back to the 60's for sure...I think there was a pinball based on the TV show Time Tunnel...

How long does it take for a new employe take to get up to speed to get to the quality of work you require.

It’s got the same music from kooky carnival
The kooky carnival machine is made by the same manufacturer who made this machine. (Stern Pinball)
Has anyone dealt with Homer's head issue where it moves out of sync? I assume it's a easy fix, but wondered how to take is apart without damaging it?
I'm shopping one out for an operator client at the moment, it's not as snazzy as this put I'm making it look slick :)
you can compare the two and try to do some of the things we did!
That to me is that Art and Craft of restoring pinball. It's like a great remix or live version of an original song :)
:-) Keep watching our channel!
🍻
Ah our pizza delivery interrupted your video. Perfect.
AND...you didn;t offer me a slice!
Should be some pizza available at the Film Festival!
Benjamin Woodring There better be, young man!
Some Simpsons Pinball Party machines have the ENTIRE audio lower pitched.Whys that?
I can't find new pink flipper rubbers anywhere. :'(

So what happened to the thief?? Did you catch him? Did he get charged?
He stole a total of 80 games...oddly enough, fellow KLOVERS found several of the EBay completed auctions....the police tracked down 4 machines...which totaled over $10,000 my cost (brand new machines) that were local enough for them to check serial numbers.

I would be an angry soul after that. Its really good of you to keep your humor.
The police were not interested in a $100,000 theft? Does not compute.
I want one!!!!
vegasdogg111 :-)
the big question is, does Curt make a good coffee.
Only when I demand it!
would it not be better to use LED Tubes in there instead of Fluorescent and LED Tubes Be Brighter?
I think think people from pinside pushed Tammy to first place.
It's very possible! The final round starts now...between the top three...will do a post when we finish Tammy's Video version of the song!
Cool beans!
wallace no f given
The homer head moved and it creeped me out
eh think the wife's mouths on the floor Tammy broke top 3 :P so who's getting their votes out today. :) any particular reason you've switched the lithium batteries to coins??
if the board can take the coin battery holders without drilling the board, its easier for the customer to change down the road.
