Believe it or not, I have seen this tabletop pinball back in 1999. I saw this at (then) The Big Red Boat cruise travelling from Florida to Bahamas. Thanks to this video, I realized that I wasn't imagining this at all, as some people didn't believe a hexagon tabletop pinball exists.
I just love your videos, really starting to think about purchasing a few pins for my home. I love pinball. One day I hope to own Funhouse, Apollo 13, Cyclone and others.
The hair looks good, dude! You are the best pin jockey on the web! Can you flip a dedication to Patrick @ The FunBox? Keep on flippin' the hits, daddy-o! :)
We actually blew a 150 Volt 10 amp fuse and really are concerned. All during a small hip check from a friend over that day playing her. We were certainly running her hard for that whole two week period. Bought a new set of fuses for her, yet unsure if there is a bad connection, or a couple of bad coils... We would rather save the fuses and check for other issues. The blow certainly happened for a reason. She was doing so good too. :( We're trying to safely troubleshoot her little by little, all connections are solid. I see personally a few burnt out coils and I feel her mechanisms and parts to all the more serious moving parts, should be cleaned out properly and put back together... Yet, lol, we are not that advanced. (In heart we are.) When we got her, the coin op was disconnected, her Free game knocker, both her bells, her slender number real with dual digits, and a few lights. Someone certainly didn't want those bells or the coin op to work for free play. So we've had our theories of what is really going on in there. The boys who are good with electro-mechanical machines in our group, were eager to get under the hood at first. They connected a safe grounded cord, grounded the machine, and managed to get one of the bells working as well. I'm so impressed with your knowledge and I certainly as a life long pinball fanatic, hold you in high regard. :) Any advice would be splendid! Thank you yet again for your videos! - Spring
I don't know if anyone is still monitoring this site but i have the Caribbean cruise pinball machine. The playfield is in excellent condition so i would like to be able to repair it. When I turn it on it does one beep then the display comes on with only gibberish. If i push the start button nothing happens. None of the lights come on, only the display. I tried pushing the red reset button inside the coin door but nothing happens. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I managed to snag a very nice Roy Clark off of EBay. Completely rebuilt and LED modded. I'd love to get hold of one of these babies, though! Your videos are the best, Todd!
I have a night moves with system 80 b boards the the mpu was some acid damaged but repaired it but it will boot and reboot every 8 seconds and wont boot unless the reset board is hooked up have u seen this problem before I have a video of this problem. great videos good info
I just recognize the tune. That's the one that Nintendo put on the title screen of a few early NES sports games, all of which were later ported to at least one of their arcade platforms.
I found one of these at the local dump. It has two problems. One, the flippers are very weak and the top right flipper doesn't activate. The other problem is the display. The top display only shows the bottom half of the segments.. The flippers are pretty easy to replace, but the display is quite pricey. Do you have any tips on checking to see if its the display or the board that is having problems.
I have one of these machines and when a ball goes down through its not seeming to register and shoot the next ball up , unless you push the first one through , any ideas? Thanks.
11:55 😆... love these outro's 😄
:-)
Another great video
I love the vacuum fluorescent display in the middle
It's a great idea because you can easily follow your score and also the suggestions it displays for what to do next.

Love it
This is great!
+David M Yablonsky Glad you liked the video and the game!
I played it on an emulator. Wish I played the real deal.
This is wonderful. Being a young pinball enthusiast, I find these videos delightful.

Love the backstories Todd! Keep em coming!
Great info! I really enjoy your videos. Thanks!
fire truck! loved that when i was a kid...
Do you have this for sale Todd?
This particular one was sold years ago. We just refurbished another ( shown in last week's video) that's gone too.
I am addicted to these videos
Glad you enjoy them!

What a neat little machine!
Perfect size!

Thank you Anthony!!
i like ALL of your videos !!!
You guys are cool, wish I lived in the USA. Nowhere like this in the UK :(
Thanks Kris!
Interesting stuff!
I've always wondered if you still have that Hologram collection, assuming you do, MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT THEM !
My church had the "Disco Fever" Cocktail Table in the basement along with a Meteor machine... neither of them worked though.
+ObiTrev Hopefully they will get them fixed soon!
yes!! i freaking love that soundtrack
Regards from Polland!!!!

Hey Todd, I swore I saw one of these at a cruise ship (Big Red Boat '99). I can probably assume it was resold to the cruise director or something.
I have a night moves with system 80 b boards the the mpu was some acid damaged but repaired it but it will boot and reboot every 8 seconds and wont boot unless the reset board is hooked up have u seen this problem before I have a video of this problem. great videos good info
The reset board needs to be removed and pitched...it has caused more trouble than its worth!
0:20
It sounds like you've got a Playchoice-10 or Nintendo Vs. cabinet in there.
it must be a playchoice...i dont remember the video at all..but maybe you get a glimpse of it during the video?
I just recognize the tune. That's the one that Nintendo put on the title screen of a few early NES sports games, all of which were later ported to at least one of their arcade platforms.
nice!

Hope you do a BK2K video! Be sure to crank out that soundtrack!
Still loving your stuff guys, Daniel.

Do you have any tips on checking to see if its the display or the board that is having problems.
flipeprs would be EOS switches, dead coils or dirty mechanics, the displays might be chip-related or cold-solder contacts.

Yes...the optic has ice cold solder connections...reheat all of them carefully, and your problems will disappear!
I´m still waiting for the BK2K video^^
BK2000 is coming!

lol, you have fans :)
Thanks!!
