      Thank you for a fantastic video on this real classic Pinball last year I saved a 1973 classic Pinball machine was totally dead it's a zaccaria made in Italy under licence from bally Williams the field paint work is in first class condition ball and all contacts corrode as its solid state machine not many like to repair them so we found a repair man in Australia who had the cards and fully repaired them the rubbers are all replaced plus bulbs all the contacts cleaned this game Future world now plays fantastic it's plays great as the feild is highly polished the game is very fast great to play it's not every one's favorite but it's a fantastic game a real classic saved from scrap. Enjoy your pinballs just like me love them

    Looks like another terrific job. Man, those rubbers around those posts behind the drop target, what a pain to get those things up and around the other post. Had the same thing on a Bowling Queen that I bought. The playfield was all taken apart (but that made it easier to clean). But I had to figure out how to put is all back together. Lots of zooming in on low rez pictures on IPDB. Thanks for putting this series of videos together! See you on the next one.

      Todd actually has one of our games right now, we did a video on a dedicated 1 slot Neo Geo game, a guy bought it and wanted it to look better cosmetically (which we don't really do much of) so he sent it to Todd! Todd showed it in a video about 6 weeks or so ago, I'm not sure if he ever got it finished or filmed any more of it. We're doing a video on a Skateball pinball machine in a couple weeks and talk about Todd a little bit, don't tell him :) Thanks for watching man, we appreciate it.

    I'll admit I'm most impressed by the condition of the backglass on this thing, given the state of so many others you've worked on here. All the closeups you've done and I can't see any visible flaking. Sure the colors have faded, but the only way to avoid that is to keep the whole thing wrapped up and unplayed, and what good is a pinball machine if you're not playing it?

    • @joesamuel616
      @joesamuel616 4 роки тому

      agreed. The backglass seems supurb for age.

    • @LyonsArcade
      @LyonsArcade  4 роки тому

      Yeah the backglass was nice, there are a few minor spots where it has minor damage, but all in all it has held up very nicely. It likely was kept in a temperature controlled environment most of it's life. People believe the damage comes from the bulbs, but really it's from the heat/cold of storage all these years.

    The first pinball with flippers was Gottlieb's "Humpty Dumpty", which came out in 1947. The first one with flippers as we know them today was "Sport Bowler, another Gottlieb game which came out in 1950.

    Jackrabbits are mammals in the same family as rabbits. All Jackrabbits are hares. The word jackrabbit comes from a book by Mark Twain, in which he describes the creature as a jackass rabbit, on account of the hare's ears looking as though they belonged to a donkey. Later on this term was shortened to jackrabbit.
    Quoted from wikipedia

    I remember an old truck stop in the early 70s in a trip from Albany NY to Niagara falls, and they had a pinball machine with this mechanical type with the lever to lift the ball
    Had to be 71, maybe 72. It had been there for a long time. Truckers would leave credit on it and balls.

    Hello Joe, I only recently switched to your channel and subscribed. I'm from Germany and we have a handful of clubs that have nice old pinball machines. Some of your restorations with the Edding were a shock to me. Especially if you have restored these points with a thick black marker in Playflied. Maybe you should use thinner pencils. I like to play equipment new to old. I'm still a friend of arcade machines. Unfortunately there are not many original machines left, what do you think of the MAME project? It is not the original but you always play the game from the archives that you used to know in the takeaways. I wish you all the best and many new video projects.

    • @LyonsArcade

And in North Rhine-Westphalia there is an association called "Insert Coin". Such a pinball dealer who calls himself "Freddy's Pinball Paradise". There is also a private bar operator who only owns arcade machines and pinball machines and a private club in Dortmund that is "Shoot Again Flipper Museum Ruhr". I made nice videos of the many clubs.
