Loved this video. Crystal Castles has been a fav of mine for years. Fascinating to get to look in the back of it!!! Its impossible to play using the mouse. Wish I could get a rolly ball thing-e so i could play on my computer.
I just got #1473 of the 4880 tonight!!! =D Shes been asleep in a dark warehouse collecting dust for over 12 years! Minor repairs but the side art is in immaculate condition!
I just realized I have #7 (serial number UR00007). Bentley Bear isn’t wearing his hat on the side and coin slot area artwork. Would love to know more about it, like when they switched to the more traditional artwork
We had a CC sited at our arcade. Within weeks, the track ball, had been overly abused, and had to be repaired. But it was never the same again. Left to right..prefect..up and down..no up. Great warp screens, if you can get to them on later levels.
gallimead there are 4 bearings that MUST be kept free from debris...it could be one of the bearings got some crud in it...also the OPTIC board MUST be reheated on these tracballs...and you MUST clean it with a q-tip in alcohol passed through the "U". After 35 years of learning, I finally can say some definitive stuff!!
Todd, great video...as always! Question: How do you know how many machines were made? I have a Centipede (full size upright) and I'm curious how many were made... Is there some reference source out there online I can check out, or do you just know because you've been in the biz for a long time?
I wonder why you trow monitors out when they have stupid chassis, you could transplant the tube to a good chassis, most of the tubes are interchangeable, even from TV's.
We through out useless picture tubes and junk chassis...we ALWAYS move them around to make a working monitor...this is why you see 50 of them hanging in our shop! We are KEEPING them to use when we get a game that needs a tube or a monitor. No one wants a game with heavy burn in or missing a color! AND the ALL of our tubes, chassis, and metals get RECYCLED...NEVER thrown out! We are very big on recycling whenever we can! We use tons of used cardboard to ship our games around the world too!
think Frank's mind was elsewhere. could see the tops of the trees :) as for the monitor. the ladies can remove whatever off it then let the gun range people have a shot at it O_O
Stunning artwork on the cabinet. Cabinet shape unusual. That definitely deserves to be in a museum
Agreed!
It was another Masterpiece from Atari, a trackball and button, with a sound at this time you never believe.
Yes it was!
What a beautiful game!
Agreed!
That's a very fun game with a very unique cabinet shape.
Mike Bradley Agreed!

Arcade Collectors World-Wide Another one back from the dead!
Did they ever offer this game with a G07? Mine has one in it!

There's another Silverball museum down towards Ft. Lauderdale FL.
Maybe someone can check it out and report back?
The Silverball Museum is one of the best places to visit if your on the East coast. Especially if you have children or even big kids
rarecoolitems YES...its just terrific! Watch for the special video I will be posting later this week---iots being edited now!
Todd, great video...as always!

Of course burned tubes are useless.
