I was quite sure those batteries are still intact! Thanks for confirming it! The story is incredibly crazy, sounds like someone hit the jackpot back in the days and only sky was the limit...
Fair deal on the purchase price. Another common way to avoid playfield damage to get it over the playfield rail "lips" is use a backhand lift method with one hand, and push with the other by positioning yourself slightly along the side of the cabinet. This prevents any gouging due to misalignment during reinsertion.
I loved your unboxing video and subscribed afterward, it was very fun to watch such a meticulous unboxing and just how much goes into the inside of one of the best pinball machines ever made. I’ll be looking forward to new content and similar videos, and would love to make plans to stop by your showroom one day to see everything.
Loved the video and thanks for testing the batteries, I really wanted to know for some reason. UA-cam brought me here too and Ive never looked at pinball machine videos, but watch a lot of gaming ones. My favourite movie of all time is Jurassic Park (the original) and when I heard that theme tune I was like "wooohoo!"
I haven't really ever been interested in pinball until your first video was recommended to me. I really enjoyed it! I find retro computers/games really interesting so perhaps that's why it was recommended - either way, I'm not complaining 😊👍🏻 Good to see the batteries worked after all these years. I think I'd have tested them first (with a meter) and then put them back in the machine so it was all original 😉
People made comments about him being rough and wanting to touch everything before the other guy did in the last video, I think he is trying to stare at them lololololol :D
Really cool vids guys, thanks for updating. I'm usually more into video games but this really caught my interest. Looking forward to any more updates/other stuff!
Yup, knew it, said it in one of my comments, just holding some scores and settings in static ram, takes so little power. You have coin cells still working a good 25 years in SNES games, so if the parasitic draw for the JP pinball SRAM is just as small those batteries would probably last the life of the machine.... damn though, makes me want to get a new unit from STERN just to have a new toy to tinker with. :D
I hope the buyer does something to preserve the playfield surface before using it too much. I do hope it gets played and enjoyed though. I know I sure would.
Our next video will be kind of an intro on what we do here and ask for suggestions on what you guys would like to see. We actually manufacture brand new machines here! I was on Shark Tank 3 years ago for that business.
I was able to finish this jurassic park pinball machine. Ppl hated me when i played it as i would go an hour or more if i wanted. I always left it with 4 + won credits and a new high score.
That is not nonplussed....nonplussed means bewildered, we are nonplussed that the batteries still work after a million years in storage, the guy in the background, as you say, just doesn't care.
It wasn't the force you used, it was the fact that you did not lift it up enough, so the front "feet" made a dent in the upper front of the machine (in the black just over the gun)
Creepers gona creep.... does he come with the Simpsons machine? also any chance of actually posting the link you talk about in the vid? would love to read the story of the pin. Keep up the cool content.
Wow they really used to do things with quality before,26 years pld batteries and still ok. Nowadays they dont last 26 months haha. By the way great content in your channel. I just subscribed, and yes people are very interested in those machines, and arcade machines. If you do repairs and machines restore please put it in as for sure tons of people will really apreciate ;)
Is buying and selling pinball machines a profitable business? I'm looking at that space you are renting / leasing and figure that is a fair sized overhead. I absolutely love old pinball machines (especially electro-mechanical), and you are doing one of my dream jobs. No idea how to get started. Just keep buying and storing until you acquire a decent inventory? Thanks for the video's.
It can be if you find good deals. This building is 12,000sf of multi purpose for us. I own VPcabs.com and we manufacture new machines in the back. The front 5000sf we are renovating into a restaurant/arcade/bar!
Panasonic makes amazing batteries, they made and supplied ALL the Tesla batteries for the first five or so years before they started making them in house... Duracell batteries are also great and will last 10+ years correctly stored... Energizers not so much, never buy Energizer brand batteries
If you don't mind me asking, what currier company did you use? I've recently bought a van and looking into doing some short notice and longer runs like that but have not had a lot of luck researching online.
Watching this hearing you say it came from Wyoming all the way to Ohio. I thought "Oh wow, I'm in Ohio too!" Then you go on to say Hamilton, Ohio and I think "Wait... I'M IN HAMILTON, OHIO!"
Well 26 years is a good run, are you talking about millions of years? I think everything will discharge in millions of years, maybe you should just agree they didn't discharge and be happy bout it like everyone else,. Look at the guy in the background he is frozen lol.
That stuffed technication in the background is so lifelike.
Yeah beats me why he's in the video to begin with...oh well... taxidermy goes a long way :P
he wants to go to the mac
you can tell he's not a real technician because he doesn't have a multimeter
He thought they were taking a long exposure
ITS A GHOST!
I think you need to check on the batteries of the guy behind.
I'm sure he will chirp when he's running out
Hahaha👍🏼🤣🤣
Best comment ever lol
hahaha
he needs stronger bateries :D
the cardboard cutout of the guy in the back is amazing
If that other guy is going to be in the background all the time can you give him a hat, such as a sombrero or top hat?
Great idea
I'm all for the sombrero lol@@vpcabspinball886
@@RollingWithKevin1 Best and correct choice.Sombrero.
The Sombrero Death Stare. I almost forgot that technique. Phew. ^^
Technician.Exe has stopped working
Lol
Reboot
Very life like mannequin in the background
who else won the staring contest with the guy in the back?
maybe he's only there to distract from the broken ceiling tile directly above him...
I’m not sure why the dudes there. The building is under construction from what I understand, so maybe he’s “under construction” too? Haha
Nobody wins the staring contest against Chris. You’ll see
That statue next to the Simpson pinball machine is so life like.
Dude in background gets a standing ovation.
this wil be a classic ! they have to do this in every video
I watched this twice because the angry looking frozen guy is SO funny : D
Our plan worked then 😁
This update is appreciated
i needed the update. I couldn't sleep. I needed to know whether those 25 year old batteries worked or not.
Great to get an update. Keep the videos coming.

You guys are really PRO's. Exceptional video. The unboxing was better that discovering an ancient egyptian pharao lost tomb!
Thanks! We have another cool time capsule video coming!
Cool! another lost pinball machine? Wow that’s crazy. Keep on these supercool videos. Just subscribed. Greetings from Milan, Italy.
Too cool! Funny people are so scared for the machine when it’s built for that lol! Cool mannequin in the back too

Dude looks like he just missed the grand champion score by 100 points.
you need to put those panasonic batteries in the robot technician in the background who appears to be in power-saver mode. lol

Why does the guy in the back look so mad... he's freaking me out man
He's getting paid minimum wage... while illegal Mexican immigrants are getting paid more to play these damn games. Can you blame him?
People made comments about him being rough and wanting to touch everything before the other guy did in the last video, I think he is trying to stare at them lololololol :D

Hi I think 6400 hundred dollars is a good deal Jurassic Park is still a good Franchise.
That story is crazy.
What a great machine.
Thanks for uploading.
the man in the back LOL
I would love to come check you guys out!
This was a cool unboxing. Very interesting! You gained a sub by sharing the coolness of this machine!
Thanks!
An update 65 million years in the making.
Or just 10 days 😁
Very cool. Why is he not moving in the back lol
Woow he doesnt move in 3 min 15 sec .....Statue mode 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
I'm glad the batteries 🔋💚
Still works after decades.... I'm quite of shocked 😳
So now everyone knows what type of batteries to use in their machines.
I've heard of lurking in live streams, but lurking IRL?
Hey dude in suspended animation, are you going to play that machine?
Thumbed up for caring about your viewers.
What's up with the creeper in the background :)
Yup, knew it, said it in one of my comments, just holding some scores and settings in static ram, takes so little power.

Just don't get discouraged if the other videos don't work as the other one that got viral, who is still here really enjoy the content! :)
This is like Penn and Teller only now its Brad and Chris. This is going to be a thing now.
🤣
I hope the buyer does something to preserve the playfield surface before using it too much. I do hope it gets played and enjoyed though. I know I sure would.
hugs from Romania
that dude in the background is hypnose everybody to subscribe the channel :D
Dang. You figured out my evil plan 👹
Nice video but I couldn't focus on the action at hand as the dude in the background was somehow drawing my attention.
Lucky those batteries weren't Duracell.
The BEST Channel
Panasonic should sponsor this video
Agreed!!
Great videos!
Awesome!! /from sweden
The guy on background is scary he doesn’t move at all OO
Hell, I'd happily give 5k for that machine if it was still in the box. Excellent find, fellas.
We sold it for much more after we unboxed it!!
I'm going to have to stop down the next time I'm in Cinci. I live in NE Ohio and make my way down there a few times per year.
Awesome!
Only high-quality batteries still work after 25 years. Like Panasonic.
You should demonstrate every machine and show all of the features.
Our next video will be kind of an intro on what we do here and ask for suggestions on what you guys would like to see. We actually manufacture brand new machines here! I was on Shark Tank 3 years ago for that business.
I didn't know people even played Pinball anymore
Neighbor has the same pinball, it’s a fun game.
I was able to finish this jurassic park pinball machine. Ppl hated me when i played it as i would go an hour or more if i wanted.
I always left it with 4 + won credits and a new high score.
pinball and bears? i'm there!
Dude at the back is nonplussed at ancient batteries. He just doesn't care.
That is not nonplussed....nonplussed means bewildered, we are nonplussed that the batteries still work after a million years in storage, the guy in the background, as you say, just doesn't care.

Ahh sorry. It’s in the description of the full unboxing video. I’ll add it here too
Hm, I'm expecting to be in your area around Thanksgiving. Y'all going to be around?
We are shooting for fall
i also wondered whether the 25 year old batteries still worked in your last video.. The last video felt unfinished until now 🤣🤣🤣 Panasonic ftw
Simpsons pinball party :) I own this game as well, i have a video on my channel showing the mods.
It’s a great game. Love the TV mod
@@vpcabspinball886 Ya, i was thinking of adding that mod.

I have 2 unboxed Granny and the Gators in Toronto. Opened one box just to get manual. Ever hear of this game?? New subber here my friend.
Awesome! Want to sell one?
I am still doing research on this. They are not well known or manufactured in big numbers. do you know this machine?@@vpcabspinball886
They were made in 1984. The amount made is unknown. They are worth around $2000 in good working used condition.
dude I was thinking like 10k for that thing 5k is not bad at all
couldn't he at least play some simpsons games. or watch his phone, or anything els but just beeing creepy.
You gotta do what you do best right?
The batteries are not nearly good today as way back then.
Nice update.

Show more of the rest of the machines you got! :)
We will. We are collecting machines right now. We also manufacture new machines here and will do some videos of that too.
$5000, what a bargain. I was expecting you to say something closer to $10k.
It was a sweet deal
What? I was almost sure that batteries will be dead....

The dude in the background needs to be rebooted. He froze.
Where are the legs for the Data East Jurassic Park pinball machine?
Watching this hearing you say it came from Wyoming all the way to Ohio. I thought "Oh wow, I'm in Ohio too!" Then you go on to say Hamilton, Ohio and I think "Wait... I'M IN HAMILTON, OHIO!"
Awesome. We hope to be open in a few months.

New subscriber here as well!
You already have a buyer? You should have ebayed/auctioned it off.
This video soon to be sponsored by Panasonic!!😏😂😂
Somebody should @ Panasonic on Twitter and link the video. They would love!!
I tagged them on Facebook with no response. Twitter is a good idea
Price of pins have jumped insanely.
Yes they have. New ones can go above $10k
@@vpcabspinball886 yup, indeed.
Well shit, ya'll are only about 1.5 hours from me...very cool
Awesome, subbed for more :)
Thanks. Working on bringing in an almost new original Cyclone next week. Looks like it’s never been played.
Only 5K??? OMG I paid 6K for my Cyclone
LED creates very little load. Just be thankful they didn’t box up duracells. They would have leaked all over the place.
Yep. Dry Cells FTW!!
Selling it!?!?!?! I WANT TO PLAY IT!
So cool
Is this pinball machine based on a movie?
Yes. The first one.
Why would you resell that machine? Don't you have your own arcade?
alkaline batteries loose ~1% a year if I recall correctly
These are heavy duty dry cell.
If you sell, how much would be the price?
It’s sold already
@@vpcabspinball886 just curious :D
How much did it sell for back in its day
Around $3200
No relay what is he doing?
You mean Chris? He’s my emotional support person/bodyguard/UA-cam eye candy 😁
now the buyer is like wtf ,im paying 10k for it ?
Batteries self discharge, even the regular alkalines or whatever were in there. Its nice they didn't leak though.
Well 26 years is a good run, are you talking about millions of years? I think everything will discharge in millions of years, maybe you should just agree they didn't discharge and be happy bout it like everyone else,. Look at the guy in the background he is frozen lol.
How much is the Dracula game?
$3500
