Rare tour of pinball factory ALVIN G & Company! See Magic Castle being built! TNT Amusements

WOW! Filmed on Hi Band 8mm in 1993, a RARE tour of now defunct Alvin G & Company Pinball Factory while they were building Mystery Castle! Filmed during the Pinball Expo in Sept 1993 put on by Robert Berk and Michael Pacak, a rare glimpse in clear video of the complex process of building a pinball machine! PLUS, a portion of Todd Tuckey's 2 hour lecture on opening up a retail business like he did with TNT Amusements! ADDED PLUS! ORIGINAL Williams WHITEWATER drawings, whitewood, and even PHOTOS of the models for the backglass!!!
Also...watch this video--this is what I played during MY lecture about opening an arcade store!

If I worked there I would be the one to play or test them for 24 hours, just supply me with lots of soda!

Too bad you didn't get footage of that Krull machine being played at 8:18. I've been dying to see some gameplay. Thanks for this video, though. Very awesome stuff.

4:00 I can't believe they used robot clones to build those pinball machines...
