Hello from Australia thanks for the tour! What an accomplishment so many machines in excellent working order.
Hey Jon from Australia. Good luck in the bronze match at the world cup!
Hey you mentioned Banning! I played there on a Saturday all day! Best 60 dollars I ever spent! Steve from Diamond Bar, CA
Hey Steve. I never made it there. Sad they sold off all of their machines. They made a killing though!
Rare Rare and again another rare pin....what a tour...one of the best collection of pins for sure!!! .... the best video mike, braaavo!!!
Thanks man. 🤘🙂 Such an amazing collection!
Woah! Wait a minute. This is only a couple hours away from me!? Some of those old classic pins were so cool!

@@pinballshenanigans Thanks! 😎🤘
That Zac stuff is incredible. I used to frequent his club houses years back. Not sure why I haven't been to this incredible new spot. Not even that far.
Yabuddy gotta get there!!!
Wow what a collection that must be the biggest collection in the world
It very well could be!!! Incredible!!
head cam mount for the win...
thanks for all the one handed looks at these great machines anyway ;)
Haha thanks man!
That's gotta be the noisiest place in town. Awesome to run into a subscriber!! "I gotta bust my Theatre out of storage" 🤔🤔🤔🤷🏻♂️ That Zaccaria Space Shuttle is pretty. That Superman still has gorgeous artwork.
Yaman so much fun and so much to see!
Heaven for us pinball fans throughout the world.
Sure is!
I was there!!! Great, great time! This is my third year and I hope to come every year.
Excellent! It is amazing every time.
So awesome.
Sure was!!
The game with a ton of drop targets in the Time Warp cabinet is called "Chief Bank-a-Flip Galactic Poker Dice". It's a home brew made by Duncan Brown sometime in the 80s I believe. If you want details, you can check out TOPCast episode #58 where Clay interviews Duncan.
Oh super cool, thanks Matt I will check that out. I love topcasts and listened to most multiple times!
Awesome
Thanks for making and sharing this video. It is astronomical!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
oH mY G.. Wish I Was there just to admire all those playfield and Backglass with my own eyes. You are so lucky.
Very lucky, less than a 3 hour drive away!!!
Great tour.. classic history thanks 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it thanks!
Very nicely put together video and very entertaining as well. Thanks for posting this.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!!
Man I hate that I had to miss it this year . Wouldve loved to have come played woth you guys.. Hopefully you guys can make it to EXPO this year
Won't be at Expo this year but maybe next!!
Totally enjoyed the video Mike! Whole lotta pins. Very cool!
Thanks brother glad you enjoyed it. It was quite the experience.
That place looks like heaven. Jeepers!
It is amazing!!!!!!!
Mike just going around breaking one of the cardinal rules of pinball... Starting games and not finishing them! I expected better! Hahha..That was a Bride of Pinbot 2.0 as well
Haha I broke my own rule lol. Oh shit I didn't even catch that!!!
Missed your posts Mike. Glad to see you back!
Thanks brother!!!
This is absolutely insane.
Indeed!
Harlem ❤ Globetrotters
That is insane! How do you possibly collect so many machines and have them looking so good.
It's super impressive 🤘
Holy smokes this makes the Pinball Hall of Fame look baron in comparison!
Also, all these games work :)
The best woodrails are in Paris:Roto Pool,Sluggin' Champ,Southern Belle,etc.
I think I have seen pics of that collection!
Just wow.
Yep wow!
I can't believe I missed the event! Really appreciate the video it made me feel like I was there. What video camera did you use? The image quality is fantastic and the panning is very smooth. Thanks!
Thanks man, glad you came along for the ride! I just use my Samsung S20 FE and I know to not pan around too fast to not make anyone puke :)
Great video I use to have meteor by Stern 👍👍😎😎
Thanks for the visit! Meteor is a great game!
That label at 1:03:28 is the arcade operator name and address: that machine comes from Sanremo, a city in the Mediterranean coast of Liguria, in northwestern Italy. I have a little summer vacation home very close to that place, and I probably have phoned the guys in the past looking for pinball machines for my collection 🤭So strange to see it in the USA!
Oh wow that is crazy! Super cool!! My grandparents were born in Curringa, not sure how far that is from there? I love that machines were manufactured in Bologna Italy!
@@pinballshenanigans Oh, very far - Sanremo is in the north, Curinga in the south of Italy 😉 Nice to know you have some italian heritage! Zaccaria was in Bologna, yes, and while it stopped making pins, it's still the largest arcade distributor in my country (changed the name in Technoplay, but last time I've checked it was still owned by the Zaccaria family). Pinball in Italy has always been quite a big deal, we love it!
@@catoblepag Ahh I see! I certainly do :) Currado is the family name. That is amazing that Zaccaria is still around. Super cool history! Love it!
Welcome to the states mate. I wish I could have made this event since I have family to stay with in Michigan. However work wins grrrr lol. Hope you had a blast there?
Thanks man it had been a while for sure! Oh yes had many many blasts!!
As someone who works at an arcade please don’t just play one ball and leave it with a ball in the chamber it drains so much more electricity (heard him mention some guy would do that regularly and some people who come in set all the games up with a ball in the chamber thinking they are helping but are just making the machine use more energy sitting while not in use)
Yes totally agree!
@@pinballshenanigans but you did it multiple times lmao
1:23:47 You Have to look very close, but there’s perhaps the best hidden Easter Egg at the entire VFW Compound! 🤣 Cant wait to go back this spring
Haha was that you?
Oof. Too many great pins..
I had a Minizag (@13:43) and left it in my mum's garage. No idea what happened to it..
I remember the time when they would require one to be triple (you know what) in order to enter venues which was an absolute ridiculous requirement. Now we see many of those people having serious problems. Makes me sad how people would comply.
I didn't get any and it didn't impact my life, but I live in a fairly forgotten little part of England where not much happens anyway.
crazy.. we dont have that here in the netherlands.. thats crazy 500 games
It sure is! You have any arcades?
@@pinballshenanigans 3 games roadkings gay90s and deadly weapon
@@blackdaan Wow quite the oddball variety!
@@pinballshenanigans yea true.. i just buy whats the right price .. and like different kind of games. Next will be a doctor who
@@blackdaan Variety is the spice of life! :) Dr Who is a great game!
Suggestion, get HD camera glasses or a camera head-band mount. Both are pretty inexpensive.
Cool idea. I will have to look into that!
For next time. You did an amazing job considering. Just so much to see and do and having both hands for some quick plays would be really cool.@@pinballshenanigans
@@willierants5880 Yaman for sure!
Strange, not a single Jersey Jack, Spooky, American Pinball or Chicago Gaming Company machine...?
There was a TNA but that was it!!
I have played many pinball. My favorites which I wish I could find are Stallar Wars, Future Spa, Mars God of War, Kiss, Harlem Globetrotters Six Million Dollar man. Firepower, Gogar and Xeon I can play.
A nearby arcade has these.
Some of the newest pinball games, the nearby arcade has them.
That is pretty sweet!
I was there last year the same weekend you went! Are you going this year?
Ah nice. Not sure I don't have tickets so we will see 🤘
😮😯😲😵🤯
1:27 representin'
Haha nice!
😍😍
Where's Lord of the Rings Pinball,Star Wars Pinball and Austin Powers Pinball?
I saw LOTR at least
Was this Saturday or Sunday?
This was on the Saturday
How dare you skip over the Cyclone. 😡😡😡
Ahh shit, whoopsie lol
If you see Austin Powers can you ask the person who owns an Austin Powers Pinball machine if you can take it home with you please baby yeah?
Haha of course
31:55.......Hobbit sighting!
..... and i'm sorry.... video or no, pressing start, playing one ball, and walking away..... on multiple machines is kind of a dick move
I know I know!!! I broke my own rule there!!! It is the pinball players unwritten rule. Never do that!!!! Not even if you are a shenenigander!!!! :)
seeing people start a game and walk away physically pains me.
I stopped watching at proof of vaccination.
LOL more pinball for us sane people
@@nena_nezaliin what world are you the sane one in 2024?
What benefit is there to asking for proof of lol? The pandemic is over, and what proven good did any of that do?
The secret marijuana patch is in the same spot as the secret police headquarters, what twilight zone have you entered?
Haha the best Twilight zone ever!
