  • you said that modern pinball machines have even more complicated wiring and circuitry. why is this the case? usually electronics become "slimmer" and wiring is minimized and refined for easier maintenance and service. why is it worse now than it was 20 years ago?

  • @AlirazaVideoGames That's a very good question. The reason modern pinballs have more wiring is because they got much more sophisticated with all the many extras on a playfield. Old pins just had bells and pop bumpers where new ones have many many gizmos and features that need to be controlled. More lights, targets, diverters, magnets, gimicks etc. All this needs more boards and wires to fire right.

  • Love the Pin videos Jon. If you could ever do Pinball Tech/Restoration videos, I think many of us would appreciate them. I recently picked up a Jokerz myself and am trying to learn as much info as I can in restoration.

  • HOW DID I MISS THIS VIDEO!?! Damn you youtube broken sub boxes!

    I am really glad you are doing pin videos too now. You really have a stellar collection man (from what I heard on All Gen Gamers)!

  • i started having a slight anxiety attack watching this vid....SOOO MANY PIECESSSS...lol...great video man

  • really good vid and tnx 4 the add

  • I hate to ask for a tall order, but I haven't seen a comprehensive playthrough of all the rules on the D&D machine. Mainly, the 3 ball multiball and breaking through the bell tower. I have the opportunity to purchase a complete and working D&D and would love to see some of this in action. If you have the time I think other viewers would really love seeing it all as well. Great vid. Thanks.
