Back in the day, I noticed a pinball machine where the match unit was stuck. If a game was going badly we would wait until our score was at the match number and tilt the game. This way we would get a match for a new game.
Did you play untill you got bored of it, or stopped by the venue owner?
That is really cool how every ball gets progressively more valuable. I wish they’d bring that feature back in newer games.
hah - I set down for lunch and Ron drops a video. Very nice way to wrap up my week.
Thank you Allan!
yep...i just sat down with some Pop Tarts..and yep here drops a vid!! im going to watch the ENTIRE airport series this weeknd
I get asked a lot why I like EMs. It drives me nuts that people don’t appreciate how these machines work and the intricacies of how they work on the inside. Any joker can program a computer machine. A man needs to understand what’s actually happening to bring one of these to life.
Preach brother. It’s the repair thing too you have to know what you’re doing to fix one, modern machines you can just swap parts. Don’t be a parts swapper people
This lights on, this lights off . . .
Made me think of Cactus Canyon
“Lock is lite, And so am I”
Thanks for explaining the magic of EM’s
This is the best era of EM's. This is an awesome machine that I would be proud to own. Thanks for the series.
The computers they used for the Apollo moon landing were like a pinball machine. I suggest you look them up, really fascinating how they were able to do so much with so little. The programs were strored in "rope memory" really cool
I hope one day you get a Williams Valiant from 1962 in the shop. I grew up playing that in our basement. Oh the memories. Love your videos Joe.
Love all the videos - thanks for making them all this time!
I love the sound of the bells. So sparkling, so clean….I like the chimes too but for me the bells are it. Years ago I had a Bowling Queen which also had the flipper switches right at the flipper buttons. These flippers were instantaneously responsive. Also, you just had to touch the flipper buttons and Bam, they worked great. This was a hack, but it was done properly with no hanging wires. I wouldn’t personally change a game like this, but it does have some practical benefits if it’s done right. Thanks for another very enjoyable series of vids Ronnie. 5 stars for yourself and Joe.
They're art, and absolutely ingenious. I think this one has to be one of my favourites that I've seen on your channel. Lovely looking machine and looks good fun to play.
Another great EM video - thanks! I always tell my friends that these machines are analog computers.
Always look forward to see if there is a new video been posted. This series of videos were fantastic, and the machine turn out great.
This one is definitely interesting. Quite lively. Whomever designed it must have snickered a bit as it would seem that the playfield goes out of its way to guide the ball to the outlanes. Even the tops of the sling-shots are angled over to "help" guide the ball to the out lane.
Excellent schematic teaching as always. keep up the great work Ronnie..👍👍
The right return lane is a neat feature. Cool design.
Nice job. Thanks for making the videos, and thanks for showing that process of making the scoring/lights work through the five balls.
Nice work Ronnie.
that is a beautiful table, good job!
I like how those pop bumpers work.
nice job ron best pinball show on youtube
She’s a beauty Clark!
As per usual you did another awesome job on a classic em pinball.
oh boy there is a lot going on its just not where you can see it and its really cool. i would rather have one of these old machines then a new one you don't need a computer science degree to figure out how to fix them lol keep up the good work :D
Great series!
Always super informative,, keep it up , this helps me more than anything to understand schematics,,,thank you !!
oh i love it...cant wait to watch the entire series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
I imagine the flipper wiring was modified that way is because one of the mechanical components involved failed. Unable to get replacement parts they had to relocate the switch to the button area just like other machines. They did both so they matched even though the other side worked fine.
That is so cool how they did that.
Hey Ron!!
Hey Joe ! another terrific video ! Just one remark : can you leave on a dimmed light instead of turning the lights off ? I sure would improve the video quality ! Carry on !
So we never did find out what all the hackery to the relays was about? Were they the #2B relay etc so they were changing all the great planning to turn on the roll overs and when lit lights? Not sure why you’d do they either. Always a fun watch
They for some reason just replaced the wiring powering up the coils on the playfield, the feature relays were still unhacked... I have no clue why they added all that wiring in, we hooked it back up original and everything worked, lol
That gray three-lead cable is used for the old wired remotes for jukeboxes. They probably used it because, hey, you don't want to use speaker wire!
That buzz is some relay armature not able to fully contact the coil core. There may be rust under the armature, or the relay may be bent so the armature does not rest flat on the core when relay is energized. Also check for the copper shading coil (the copper stamping set in the core slot) on the top of the relay coil. It may have become loose & fallen out. If you note it missing, hunt around in the machine bottom for it. If you can't find it, make a new one out of sheet copper (look at other relays & copy design). You can glue it back into place. better yet is to make it a little oversize & tap it in.
That's a shielded microphone cable. The 3 pins of the microphone socket and the metal shield.
What happened to the original wires that went through the loom to the Jones plugs ?
Did they pull them out ?
Great video, as always,, but are the Vari-targets working. You hit em several times and nothing happened. Or it that they only work if you hit them dead on? Just seems off, somehow.
We talked about that in the part of the video you skipped
@@LyonsArcade Fair enough.
Did you notice on your 3rd ball it stayed on ball 2 in play? It didn’t look like you were in a 2 player game.
Have any old pinball machines for sale
I often wonder just how you charge people for going through a machine like this..? These days, Most people don't want to pay someone by the hour..or even by the job..
We charge by the job, I work too slow to charge by the hour.
Yodelayheehoo
When you played the arcade game and since it was a two player game, you should’ve played player one and your brother should’ve played player to make it more interesting
Oh well I'm sorry it wasn't interesting, maybe next time I'll do it the way you think I should in your head
