I have nothing to say, just writing to feed the algorithm of viewer engagement. and it 6'o'clock and I am already slightly drunk on rum.
Thank you Martin we appreciate you hanging out with us buddy
In response, I also have nothing to say
Rum is bad for you c'mon man
Love the Simpsons pinball machines! So happy to have them both! Never get old and always fun to fire up and play!
They did a great job on both of them, in my opinion! Thanks for watching Metal Justice!
A friendly correction about urban lighting: the "warm white" lights that are usually used in the streets are sodium vapor bulbs which is a type of discharge lamp (a current excites the gas which starts emitting light), now sodium emits light mostly on the "yellow" wavelenght and has a very poor color rendering, so much so that it can hardly be considered a white light. An incandenscent bulb although still being quite warm emits on a broader spectrum, closer to the one of the sun and in this sense it's more white. That said I don't know why, considered modern technology allows to make leds of any temperature, warmer leds for pinball are not common polace or aren't used that much.
Hope you found this interesting, I love the videos about pinballs: they're always good fun and informative
Thank you for the correction, i'll stop mentioning things I don't know 100%, sorry I was wrong about all that
@@LyonsArcadeYour was a good analogy though, it made its job to get the concep through
You do know that high pressure sodium lamps have long been seeing phasing out from usage for street lamps, right? The street lamp lighting IS LED-based, even more evident because HPS lamps are far more orange than what warm white LED's, not yellow like you claim. And the reason why cities are moving over to LED street lamps, both warm and cool white, is because of power efficiency. BTW, at 10:20, with the light arc against the building would've been SOLID all the way down because of the light spread of a HPS lamp.
Oh boy, i really have to put out some appreciation for your contents. I work on "vintage" computing for industry myself and i know how much brain you need to fix certain things. So i am not particularly speaking about this video but the whole channel! I enjoy your kind being and i am glad that you share this stuff with me! Cheers from Germany! Whenever you need support with troubleshooting old electronics - feel free to get a second opinion here!
Thank you Geronimo, I appreciate you watching in Germany sir!
Wow, flashback, was a tech for the company that manufacturers auto tooling to install the cable ties for the harnesses. Would visit once a week averaging about 6 hours per, they always stationed me near the sound test area, after about 4 hours it was mind numbing, such repetition, seemed like a million Cowabungas and Dohhhhh's. The Star Wars run was another head splitter, had the pleasure of servicing Data, Stern, and Williams from 1988-2009. All good people, cool application to witness, glad they are still putting them out, surviving. Great Channel, enjoy the content and easy going nature.
Yes! I thought it was Maggies face _with the LED_ before Matt even mentioned it!! Whoop!!
The Simpsons is a game I don't think I've ever played on a dedicated machine (only on a virtual machine) - appears to be in great condition!
Amazing that they included so much cool music, even though you never will hear all of it while you're playing. Tech Easter eggs!
Yes it's pretty good stuff! Thanks for watching Ray!
The RUclips Gods have been merciful about the music, at least so far.
24 year old getting into pinball and this was a blast to watch
Also I thought it was Marge's hair that was the cool white
LEDs usually give up the ghost early from being overdriven and/or inadequate heat sinking. Another great video!
I've played this game a bunch over the years, but never noticed until just now looking at the closeup on the back glass, that Liza is carrying books by Sylvia Plath, Virginia Woolf, Charlotte Brontë, and Sappho!
Yeah I was trying to figure out what that signified i'm not familiar with any of them, I think i've heard of Sylvia Plath and Charlotte Bronte sounds vaguely familiar but I couldn't tell you anything about them...
@@LyonsArcade Just that they're all female authors who wrote about feminism/women's issues. Just what Lisa would support!
We had one of these at a bar I worked at a couple years ago. For a machine from 1990 it was in great shape and still sounded great too!
Such a gorgeous machine... who wouldn't want to own one.
Wait till you see what we do to it Friday!
At 7:13 Jumping up and down pointing at the screen yelling" That is the wrong speaker!"
Those Yamaha FM synthesis chips have such an iconic sound for that generation.
And yeah those warm light flash bulbs look a lot better than the bright LEDs. Just doesn't feel authentic with cold light.
That music was going mental ! Working on Simpson's tomorrow as I mentioned before
A pinball playing Danny Elfman music. Doesn't get much better than that!!
It's pretty awesome!
But all Danny Elfman's music scores are the same! He found a winning formula with Beetlejuice and comes back to all the time!
Ah time to learn some more. Greetings from Puerto Rico.
Hello Puerto Rico!!!
@@LyonsArcade l'm also from puerto rico greetings Ron
Hello from Roanoke Va. Thanks allways great videos
Thank you for watching Pyro Todd i'll have to come up and get some fireworks sometime :)
Nostalgia overload!
It's almost too much! Old Building Old Game Old Theme Song Old Camera Old Heart
You are correct about some of the LEDs being polarized, compared to non-polarized. That is why they have to be flipped in the socket. Typically DC only LEDs are polarized and AC/DC LEDs are non-polarized. Some of the dual element LEDs are known to back feed other circuits, be careful if you ever replace one like 1157, 3157, 7443 etc.
Great video again ron👍👌
Have you ever had Williams *Taxi* come through the shop. One of my favorite pinball machines from the late '80s.
Simpson's was fun but didn't blow my mind as others from the late 80's to early 90's. I liked the overall design though.
ok
I've replaced the headlights in my old 98 Subaru Outback with COB LEDs and it's amazing the difference it makes at night, especially in the rain. It's been about a year and they're all still working. So maybe they're better suited for lights that are steady on (like the GI lamps), rather than the flashers. They are definitely available with a color temp that matches the old incandescent bulbs.
You may want to consider not driving on two lane roads with those things in, yes they make it easier for you to see the trees.... but they blind everybody approaching you making it much more likely that they actually hit your car in a head on collision. Tons of news stories about this, they're incredibly dangerous but yet they market them to everybody so they don't hit squirrels.
Just mind that the led works as intended with the headlight reflector: an old reflector is made for an incandenscent bulb which spreads light in every direction and so the reflector makes it converge in a beam, while a led is very directional so be careful you didn't end up making an high beam or the light not spreading in the right way ;)
@@LyonsArcade It's true, so many times I'm flashing my high-beams at some dude who I think has them on, trying to get him to turn them off. 50% of the time it's just LED headlights that are blinding the hell out of me.
@@XMarkxyz I'm well aware, the replacements I got are specifically designed to work with the original halogen reflectors by creating a similar light pattern as the original bulbs. I took pictures of the light output pattern before and after changing the bulbs and they are identical. I promise I'm not blinding anyone.
@@LyonsArcade I'm not blinding anyone, these aren't the cheap chinese LEDs with some bizarre light output pattern that's all over the place. These are nice, well-designed COBs with lenses over them that make the light output pattern identical to the old halogen bulbs so they can be used safely in the original reflectors. They also have active cooling on the driver electronics so they don't burn up sitting in a hot engine bay. Things have come a long way from the days of eBay "HID" lamps and other dubious lighting kits.
Awesome go over! Question....When you're in the service area testing the sounds, how do you get to the different sound tests? I only can get to the left speaker test but unsure how to hear the others.
With LEDs, I found "sunlight" ones to be a great neutral white. Not cool, not warm, just nice.
Thanks, dude, see you next time.
Wow dont have a seizure staring at those flashers with the lights turned down. It sounds awesome again now! All the Simpsons games were great video and pinball home systems or commercial. South park too just rated R lol
Nice looks great and music is so cool 😎👍
I was sure marge’s hair had a damn led flasher in it
Me TOO
There are 4 455 blinking bulbs missing from the Backbox they were used behind the clouds. They should be listed in the game manual.
The speaker in the bottom of the cabinet at 6:50 does not appear to be correct. Maybe that's why it sounds a bit tinny.
True, it´s way too small, creating an acoustic shortcut. Even a 12" bass speaker will sound cheap and tinny when the air can get from the front to the back of the speaker cone.
...10:54 heart shaped fade transition for the lady who came by... ;)
Brown Chicken Brown Cowwwww
Looking at this gem +1 for the algorithm
Joe's Classic,
You haven't had a cow yet man repairing this game?
JOE CLASSIC, What are those Comet Lamps called they are two different types that you shown in the video but not sure what are the correct names and part numbers for those Comet Lamps because the other ones look like USB drives with lamps on them and you said you had a bunch of them that weren't working. I'm not sure if these Comet Lamps are a specialized LED or something different that is specialized by Comet Lamps?
Back in my day Pinball's didn't have micro controllers
Shaping up to be a great game.
There’s no light as pretty as the old fashioned incandescent bulbs. LEDs make the game look like it was born in a supermarket. ... You can also get colored incandescent globes for pinnies......why wouldn’t you?? I’m with Ronnie - the old globes are the best.
How do you get the backglass off mine has no key on top or the side to get the glass off
Joe, How much will you be asking for this once it is fixed?
I like to play Monster Bash at the arcade I go to but I have to put a business card or my phone over the Alive Again LED light between the flippers or I get blinded and miss the ball.
They sell Ferraris on Amazon too. Lol
They do, and shipping isn't bad, LOL Thanks for watching Scott!
Any idea why Data East placed 2 small lamps next to the coin door??
One of them tells the operator the playfield needs cleaned, the other one tells the operator there's a switch that isn't working. They're signals to the operator to not just take the quarters out but fix something, lol
Looks like Daylight/Natural rather than Cool White. Cool White isn't actually cool White, it's yellowish, Warm White is even more yellow. That's the case here in Australia, I can only assume the same for you guys.
I’m m surprised the cob LEDs fail, I wonder what the issue was
They don't sell these particular ones anymore so there must have been some sort of design flaw
Could just be cheap manufacture. I recently got some GE LED bulbs for my home. So far each bulb has lasted roughly a month. The bulbs they replaced in my room before were Cree. They lasted at least 5 years.
They are terrible at dissipating heat, then they fail.
Perfekt!!!,...👍🙃
Thank you Ringo!
Does Joe do any repairs? I've never seen him on a video other than in the background, just wondering.
He beats the heck out of coin doors on occasion…
I’d love to own this, and I’m local
Cob lamps are done in series. One fail they all.. or they are in arrays in series.
These cold white LEDs are kinda ugly in my opinion. They don't look right and colors in the artwork look off as well. I would definitely use warm white LEDs, they would better match the original bulbs. Anyway, it is what it is. It's not feasible to replace all working bulbs just for looks.
Yeah I basically feel that they're useless, lol They're alright in a few games that you want to look sterile, like we're working on a Bride Of Pinbot with white LED's in it it looks pretty good.
Almost sounds like EDM or TECHNO music.
WD-40 will fix that sticky kick out. :) JK
Those cob lights are probably cheap car interior lights. Big clive on youtube will tell you all about cob lights and interesting electronics
Cool
That dude cheated.
He's a professional..
I really couldn't tell the difference I told you pointed it out.
But the flashers are so quick it kind of doesn't register on the brain to tell the difference.
But if it's a solid lighted LED.
I can definitely tell the difference between the yellow hue compared to the bluish hue.
It's more pronounced on camera than real life between cool white versus warm white.
Not sure if I could tell the difference 100% but on camera I could.
Yodelayheehoo
Hello Lil Everette!
DOH!
💕🤘
mom always told me that video games would chase the girls away
joe the game master opens his door
*Female*: HIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I have seen some videos about The Simpsons pinball party from Stern Pinball released in 2003 this original Simpsons pinball released in 1990 I never seen before and this is absolutely a gem of a pinball machine
