Making The Walking Dead Pinball Machine

We recently visited the Stern Pinball factory and were fortunate to be there on a day they were building The Walking Dead pinball machines. Watch how 3,500 parts and 1/2 a mile of wire are transformed into an awesome plaything by Stern's talented craftspeople.

Awesome!! I thought all the pinball factories in Chicago closed down. Didn't think pinball machines were being made at all any more and if they were they were being made in China. Good to see pinball still lives. :-)

[@starlodear2987]

There used to be several manufacturers in the US. Then they were bought up one by one and the buyers were bought up again until there were just a few left.

[@ivanyiattila3547]

Brutal great pinball table!

[@chargemank]

It's AWESOME that this old-fashioned handmade manufacturing factory won't move to China and still stays in USA

[@KK-jb1fy]

why would they outsource a niche market?

[@purplegreenredyellow]

Yes.

[@Schtevs]

"ball saved" takes all its meaning when you try to escape zombies coming to you

[@904PinballZine]

It sure is a site to behold to see this in person. I wonder what the now factory will look like!

[@ECL28E]

Pinball is a lost art

[@herold30]

[@herold30]

William Falk korfitsen I made some games on the wd le and pro .. Or what do you mean?

[@herold30]

William Falk korfitsen... Too expensive 8400 euro ... But maybe I'll get him some day

[@seagramrip187]

Very nice

[@Jellocheck]

Why showing by the final machine only the boring pro Version and not LE?

[@theawesomer]

Because that’s what they had on the assembly line at the time I shot the video.

[@lomstertv366]

some people also like pro more than premium/le cause of the flow for example

[@CallMeKai2k]

I want a pinball machine so bad

[@emmanueljames1845]

I think these are images of the "how it's made" pinball machines episodes when they made the lord of the rings table!!!

[@theawesomer]

Emmanuel James - nope we personally shot all of this footage at the Stern factory. It’s right here in our backyard outside of Chicago.

[@Grigrithereal]

So you just remade the pinball machine?

[@Grigrithereal]

Oh wait im just a idiot

[@gmee123]

UGG those bright led lights are to much.

[@LycanRace]

hat thing's gotta cost millions of billions easily!! O.o

[@badkluster]

I think they're sold at $3600 ~ $7000

[@Vermilicious]

Yum.. soldering fumes.

[@iridenonsense904]

I would like a pinball machine based on "The Talking Dead"

[@prezadent1]

Said nobody ever.

[@Riz2336]

Theme kind of sucks but the game looks decent to play.

[@FloydMaxwell]

Interesting subject, depressing game

[@macjaybirdpaintballer4848]

i hate walking dead

[@SDeww]

all them pinballs are the same, they should rethink the idea in total come up with a new revolutionairy design..
2 flippers, 2 side bumpers, and 3 big bumpers..a few ramps, and a way to get multiball..
i just described 99% of all pinball machines...

[@peterpapasouzas8317]

S Dew You cant feel the difference because perhaps you are young...
And my girlfriend has 2 tits 1 hole in front and 1 hole back etc
