The service this guy provides is priceless. His dedication and authentic joy for his trade is amazing. Thank you and please keep doing what you are doing...
This IS a beautiful game. As you say, you would never get tired of playing. I LOVE this VP game on the Pinball Arcade app. I play it for hours on my ipad. Very cool to see a real table and how you are manually manipulating the game to show us how and what it all does. Great tips in there. Thanks for sharing.
It's one of my dreams to own a Theater of Magic pinball machine. I remember playing it at a waterpark's arcade during a church retreat. Memories. But real life money comes first....:P
One of the best pinballs ever!!! Midevil Madness is also badass. One day i will have both of them, Wizard of Wor on arcade and a couple of more games. Probably next year:).
TNT Amusements Inc So how much do u usualy sell Theater of Magic for? I see you have one from your private collection that you sell but that one is way too expensive for me.
This is one of my top favorite pinball machines from my childhood and I would love to have it. Trouble is, it's one of the more expensive games and I don't have $6,000 just laying around.
Would love to see you guys do before and after shots on all the games you do, as it would allow all of the hard work you guys do really shine and be fully appreciated!
It's not always practical...the videos are actually made for the new owner before we deliver it...we try to do different things with the videos whenever possible...but it is always a madhouse, and we are constantly running from one game to the next.
Beautiful, beautiful job! I LOVE the upgraded color display and lights.. Back in the twilight years of the arcades, this was my all time favorite pinball machine! As you pointed out, it is a beautiful machine and so many cool things happen. If my wife ever lets me own one, this would be the one I'd want! :)
I heard you state on another video that solder joints go cold, so you "reheat" them. What do you mean by that? The only thing that should cause deterioration of a solder joint is vibration/mechanical stress; that doesn't make them "go cold," but it does lead toward fatigue failures. As for the capacitors, I completely support your decision to replace 20-year old dielectric. ;o)
You have to reflow new solder on the header pins and anything that could develop a crack. They determined that an indicator bulb in the dashboard of a commercial jet that cashed had a cold solder connection on the base of the socket so the light was off...(it would apparently go on and off because of the crack) and it led to a chain of events that killed everyone on board---a single cold solder connection!
The intro was so bad it was good. Like so bad. But was so good. Lol. Great vids tho i enjoy everything you guys do. I wish i lived in the same city. You wouldnt be able to kick me out at close.
Just says on the bowling alley dot matrix are not cheap and gets a color one :) $160 for bowling vs whats the color? I am surprised that dot matrix panels are expensive. I do like to repair computers and right now it's laptops. 1. replacing the screens are complicated have to find exactly what one you have and 2. they are usually under $100 not always again depends on what one you have. The old school ones that I loved that weren't shiny that I don't see myself mucking around to something. Those were nice but all the new ones all shiny crap. :( Played one Pinball 2000 years ago hated it. no don't like those screens !! Love this game as an app that and Cactus Canyon. Besides the classics.
Theatre of Magic and Star Trek:TNG are my favorites!

I remember this one, we had it at our local bowling alley.
MU MUL MULTI BALL!
YOU HAVE THE MAGIC!

Probably the best soundtrack of any pinball machine.
I would add some dimable stadium lights to it. White, warmer than cooler white
This is my favorite pin.
STUNNING special effects in this video. Hollywood is surely jealous!
:-)

Do you still have it? My favorite game. “Here is your golden ball.”
Love it
Great video with all those effects.... great pinball looks like new with all those upgrades. One of the best pins for sure! :-)
Thanks! we had fun doing it!
That’s my best machine, that’s retro.
It has many fans!
Wish my world cup soccer looked that good todd
I'd love to own this table. I guess I'll just have to be satisfied playing my PS3 with The Pinball Arcade running on it.
I think a pinball may be in order soon! Nice machine.
We'll be here!
Love this video Todd - I just bought a TOM in need of TLC. LEDs was the project this weekend - now love the color dot matrix!
Thanks! Hope our version gave you some inspiration!
TNT, please could you make a video of Williams Funhouse? Love your videos
yes indeed a beauty
I'd like one of those
wow!
love this table, and that color DMD is wild. jealous of the owner, but we'd never get to see the video if somebody didnt buy it ;)
Only occasionally do we make a video of a game not sold...its usually one going to my private collection. Just no time!
The snow let up enough to let you guys get to work again?
Away on a ski weekend...and we got a new camera and wouldn't download correctly...but all fixed now...and a bunch of games coming!

How to complete GRAND FINALE ROUND in THEATER of MAGIC?
How much would one of these go for?
how long have you been doing the super bright LED's and where do you buy them from if you don't mind me asking?
The intro was so bad it was good. Like so bad. But was so good. Lol. Great vids tho i enjoy everything you guys do. I wish i lived in the same city. You wouldnt be able to kick me out at close.

What brand of LEDs do you use all the ones I have got so far from the uk have to much ghosting
ArMoUrEdGhOsT We use Pinball Life LED's...most manufacturers sell LED's that are guaranteed not to ghost. but you pay a premium for them.
have u restored any Terminator 3 's by Stern ?
wow I did not know that 6,600
oh man that is a sweet pin - how much is it?
It was $7199 with the color DMD (a $400 cost).
Is it possible to buy this LED Set or is it custom build?
We customize each machine separately....so we do not have an exact set!
Perfectly modded I couldn't do a better job myself
If this by any chance for sale?
Sorry...this sold 5 years ago...if you email or call us, we will contact you when another comes in! Todd
@@tntamusements yes please, so you guys can make another just like this one, for me.
My email is hector_castrejon@hotmail.com
I want 1
Its such a nice game!
