Loving the new green screen works! Thank you for the new progression on your work that you're putting into your recent videos. Its so cool to see how you've worked on these pieces of art. Looking forward to Rocky and Bullwinkle! Please get well Frank I'm sure there is way too much pizza left without you. ^.^
Whoooo! Monster Bash! Now THAT'S a nice game. Pity the last time I played one, at a pub in Hoxton, it was in a terrible state. The flippers were weak and all at a funny angle when at rest, the rubbers were worn out, all the bash toys looked filthy, and while playing a plastic broke off and got wedged up the Creature's hole and the ball got stuck there as well.
I hope Frank is back on deck soon (I'm assuming the 'before' footage was pre-hospital). Nice restoration - that playfield looked especially worn. Was the approximate fee you charged the customer in this instance Todd?
Alan Buttery Yes...If you have watched any of our videos in order, you can see Gladiators in the background for several weeks, as we had to order in parts etc. This was a sale...one of the over 75 different pinball machines we have in stock! It was our last one.
Hey guys, I just have a question for you...why use a battery on the board (because people won't replace them). Then they leak and destroy the board...I'm just starting to learn about arcade / pinball I love your channel and just from a layman's perspective, wouldn't it be better to add wires to those connections for the batteries and make a "remote battery"? Idk I've heard it before that doing that helps a "uninformed owner" or "careless owner" from destroying their board...esp. after the Magicians, (just finished watching "theatre of magic pinball" :) ) and you guys really are!, at TNT to go through the extensive process to repair and restore to better than like-new products. I'm jus curious...
course then there's Inflation but $1100 ouch. with a Rescue 911 like thingy do'h. Although that flipper combination probably can't be replicated on an app/pc game etc maybe a controller like PS3/4 or one of those laser style keyboards if something like that was modified detecting how hard your pushing down the shift key. Either way I never could get the hang of those. I was always great at hitting balls that came anywhere near the bottom flippers. (hence when multiball came oh what fun. TILT oops.
Joel Bernstein WOW! That's pretty neat stuff! Zelda to American Gladiators to Gladiators! The NEXT Gladiator video I do will green screen American Gladiators!

Stoney Brocker Frank got out today (Monday) and stopped by briefly on his way home...he may stop in tomorrow...He's very tired and sore.
Glad to hear it sir!
Really nice machine. Really colorful.
Riz2336 Thanks!
I look forward to seeing the video on the The House of the Dead 4 that was in the backround Looks Awesome
dvddmc That may get finished today....not sure yet.

Ascyltos And the vendor probably wondered why it stopped making money!
Hey Todd, are we going to see a video of that monster bash? Maybe it can be Frank's first video back in the shop!
22rascal44 We were doing a quick cleanup on it...when it is ordered, we will do a regular video
those special effects though...
John Southern Our videos have a super high budget! Only the best at TNT!

It's a lithium battery on the Gottlieb's. Lithium doesn't leak - as opposed to alkaline batteries as used with other makers.
Is this the world’s biggest pinball table ever?
It's a normal size Machine

Lee Bartholomew You have to learn more flipper control to get to higher levels!
How's Frank doing?
Apparently, Gladiators was meant to be a "The Legend of Zelda" themed pinball.
Yes...I had heard that!
Frankimus Decimus Fridius
WatchDragon He will be back soon! Still at home recovering!
There's a fun story about the design of Gladiators: www.norrispinball.com/blog/?p=30
