  • Hmmph..Any wonder I can't afford one :(

  • What this guy from 2134 means by "fixed program" means its mechanical.

  • I thought it said paintball machine

  • nice

  • Veeery cooool machine. I have one EM pinball maschine - Shangri-la (Williams 1967) and for me EM machines are "magic". Only simple parts without electronic. With electromechanical "logic".

    BTW what can I do for eliminate burn bulbs. It's 6,3V but sometimes, when reset coil reset all things - some bulbs get 110 V ! Where you suggest to check first?

  • @c0inoppl look for any broken insulation on all wires. If at least one touches the earth ground or another high-powered wire, it can short out. In some cases, crossed wiring that wasn't soldered is another thing. Also check any loose wiring off switches, solenoids and relays. This is a long process, but very useful. Another thing to watch for a rhythm. If the bulb stays on then suddenly it blows out, see if you can do it again by mimicking the same way how & when it went out.

    Good luck.

  • Very interesting, thanks for posting

  • i didn't get a thing he said...

    i guess i'm meant to play it, not make it.

  • teepee for my bung-hole baby i can see your halo

  • That was based on a real pinball machine called Surf Champ made by Gottlieb in 1976. You can play the original in Las Vegas at the Pinball Hall of Fame.

  • Круто!!!!

  • cool :-D

  • I wanna play it!

  • wow!!!

  • Soo much work, and complexity, for a game, that doesnt match itself in excitement or fun to play it.

  • You have to understand that these machines came before most modern entertainment gaming, and that pinball like this WAS the peak of entertainment games at the time.

  • According to some, it still is. There's a certain level of man versus machine, and also man working with machine (when you nudge the table) that not only is very cool to see in action, but hella fun.

  • i love your videos! check mine out if you get a chance! Thank you!

  • I like the Spartan Mansion in the background!

  • me too! but I dig the pinball machine too, since I have a Royal Flush from the same company, same year...

  • the sad thing is....it took an insane genius to build a machine like that....nowadays it can be replaced with a microcontroller managing everything...that any kid can sit down and program in a weekend. all great accomplishments are just sand castles that will be washed away on the beach....*ANIME TEAR DROP* I'm not crazy ;_;

  • introspective LOL !!

  • Nah actually, everything that people did to build old machines with hard work contributed to the development of modern processors. They couldn't have sat down and waited for the year 2000 and go like "Hurray, we can now use processors, let's build a PinBall machine!" because processors wouldn't be invented without the knowledge of electro mechanics in the first place!

  • Bummer. I guess I'll just curl up and die....

    Really, you are very wrong. When the waves hit, the first thing they will wash away is your microcontroller which will leave simpler but more easily repaired and maintained machines such as this one.

  • he said shit we already know.

  • cool!

  • I was there and I saw that in person!

  • cool dude

  • One machine I played had electromagnets that kicked in to help draw the ball into the bottom. I always felt like this machine cheated and really wanted to see the guts of that evil machine.

  • whoa made in 1 day?

  • I never had a really good chance to see the inside workings of a electromechanical pinball machine. I've seen them worked on, but never from the outside in. kewl

  • cool stuff

  • nice
