I vaguely remember seing one as a Kid somwhere here in Greece although i only played the upright version,i remembered the sound effects blew me away back then ! as i might have mentioned before this is one of my favourite classics .
How dare he unplug that right in the middle of your game? Lol. Great video as always. I enjoy seeing these classic machines of my youth being restored.
+Jeremy Lee Potocki Wel, I have worked on pinball machines from the 40's...we also have had games from 30's...but we don't actually fix them ...just sell them as-is...
Great job with the videos Ken and Kurt - oh and Todd too :) You know, one of these days I'm gonna have to buy one of these pin ball units from you guys. I'm out here in the SF Bay Area so I'm thinking a Tron or Black Hole themed cabinet. Much appreciation - keep up the good work.
Todd, why did the distributor foot the cost of the machine out of his take ($3500), while the person who hosted the machine kept his entire $3500 to himself? You would think they would split the machine cost equally. The distributor would have been better off becoming a host for other distributors' machines!
+Michael Quattrocchi Typically, the split is 50/50....the location provides the electric and makes the change and puts up with the kids...and the vendor supplies the game and service.
Atari made a lot more than 47,000 Asteroids uprights. Most accounts have Atari producing some 70,000 machines (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroids_(video_game)#cite_note-VGExplosion-15). Atari produced a special gold version for the 50,000th one, similar to the gold Defender that Williams made for their 50,000th - forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=225750 You're quoting the 47k number from a pdf that Scott Evans posted, but that's just a spreadsheet he put together. It's not scans of actual Atari documents.
Can you find a color vector monitor for etra style vasulka style experimentation/ much like the lady of the lake . NASA had many- they have to exist. Will buy
Lol, surprised you ain't got a copywrite strike for that Simpson's music lol. You need to slap your rebellious and yawning camera man, sack him!! ;o) Infact, can I request you slap him in the next video? ;o)
TODD!! I WANT YOU TO MACH TO EVANTUBE HD'S OUSE AND DEMAND EVAN TUBE HD TO LOVE PINBALL AND TO KEEP PINBALL ALIVE BECOUSE I HATE EVANTUBE HD! BECOUSE HE HATES PINBALL!!!!
ok. I gess iv'e been waching one of his videos and that made me angry because he has no sighns of pinball eny ware on his channel and I want him to love pinball and not this stupid minions and minecraft and Disney infinity crap.

+Realmasterorder Glad it brought back memories!
Lovely Asteroids Cabaret
+James W Thanks!
+TNT Amusements Inc How much do those asteroids cab go for? Love those.
Is that dust still on the board? do you not clean the boards or is it easier to just leave them be and not risk damaging them?
+enigma776 We do that right before it ships!
Wow, That Astroids was beautiful, I have never seen one.
+Bo88y Beretta Thanks!!
Great show Todd , Frank and Kurt !
+Faith Repentance Thanks!
I'm ready to see how that Blackwater 100 turn out. I played that game twice and liked it.

+Chad Quick These BOYS! ALways doing things to me!
One day I will buy an Asteroids from you, would love one.... Great Dub, never noticed ;-)
+Barry Taylor Thanks!!
I dont get the calculation. You always state 50/50....what do you mean, Sir?
+Hirthirt hirt the commission with these machines was usually 50/50...you split the gross with the location!
hey todd, I have been looking for a dedicated jr. pacman marquee for years. you have any for sale?
+Paul Juray sorry...none left now!
she is a real beauty, best ive seen!
Thanks!!
Now I am a happy man. :D that is one sweet little cabaret. I have a new question. What is the Oldest Video Arcade you ever had to service.

+Curtis Hawks We ship to the west coast all the time! Was in Frisco with the family 2 years ago at the Tremont!
Coolbies. Oh, and I was wrong - it's not Ken that we like, instead Franklin :)

Do you guys have a Pulsar laying around? I kinda want one.
+The Demented Gamer I only have the manual...never saw one in person!

Everytime again, that shock sound is shocking me!
+Andreas Undesser :-)

+RetroGamerVX If its in the background and hard to hear, plus tinny sound it doesn't seem to hurt....I may just slap that man!
Is that a Baby Pac-Man in the background? If so, can't wait to see a video about restoring such a complex and unreliable game.
+James Kennedy That video was posted YESTERDAY, young man! You are not watching all of our videos! :-) ruclips.net/video/dj67hUWQCr8/видео.html
+TNT Amusements Inc Haha! Great! I'll check it out!
Huh, you probably pulled the plate off and used it on some other machine, very fishy.
You and your dang vector monitors and CHEAP power supplies. Is Frank sill soldering wrong as well? Good grief. :P
Nice dub, impossible to hear. :)
