How I work on old EM, DMD and Solid State (SS) Pinball Machine's. I’m just a person doing my own thing repairing my home Pinball Machines and repairing others Pinball Machines. I also recently started doing "Pinball Parts Or Not" videos, this may have to do with Pinball or not but contain interesting things I buy and show you to see if you find my purchases interesting.

Hi Mark !!!!! Great Video !!!!!
Sonic bath?
Yes!
small capacitor across the contacts will prevent future arcing!
Naked pinball! Interestingly enough, my Dealers Choice didn't have any inserts that fell out when I worked on it years ago.
I have done 3 of these now and all 3 had loose inserts. Maybe its the climate they were in?
You have a great voice. It's better than the few chosen losers that documentaries go to the well way too often.
Ha! Thank you!
This looks like a fun pin
It is. Dealers Choice is the 4 player version.
Comet was the Best
The flipper Switches Contacts have a "different special contact coating high current rating specs" because it has 40vac to 60vac going through the flipper switch contacts?
Yes the flipper switches are high voltage compared to a lane or rollover switch.
@@MarksBasementArcade In general What is the current rating in amps for flipper switch? because the contacts have a coating for arching higher current on flipper switches
@@waynegram8907 I don't know what it is.
Very helpful video, thanks. What are your thoughts on painting the worn areas with a rough color match before adding the clear coat?
You could however that adds time on my end and extra cost for the customer. I am not a color matching expert at all so it may not look good.
I did that on my Grand Prix machine. I just couldn’t live with the dullness of the playfield. I lightly block sanded the PF using 600 grit. I then filled in any low spots and the plastic inserts using automotive clear coat similar to what Mark is doing here. I touched up all of the colors on the PF one color at a time using an airbrush. It takes a few coats since the airbrush process doesn’t apply a lot of paint. Then I cleared the entire PF with automotive clear coat. The results were remarkable. I did all of this before I knew about printing decals on an inkjet. Since I wasn’t aware of this, I masked off all of the lettering and numbering on the PF during the color painting. I’m really looking forward to doing another machine now that I can duplicate the fonts easily. The key to masking is using automotive painting fine line tape. It leaves a very sharp edge. Good luck.
What a great looking table.
It will be nice when cleaned and polished.
full length videos please!!
Here are videos of the 2nd machine I did and the 1st machine I did. th-cam.com/play/PLWWEZRh1Vks_C1SrliHlZ9YsWN9wrBaIo.html 1st Lucky Ace Link th-cam.com/play/PLWWEZRh1Vks85VL7BjOQUGMXw50LOuff7.html
That’s clean Mark.
Thank You!
Wow, that’s crazy! My Tahoe probably wouldn’t fit that in the back.. lol
Never saw that but it makes sense to vent
Went to Silverball Pinball Museum in Del Ray Beach FL today. Not many old machines but what they had was in good working order. Everything set to free as you pay one price of $20. There was no challenge or motivation to do well other than a personal high score. The object of pinball is to spend the least amount of money and to play as long as possible.
Agreed! Play as long as you can.
Id love to see it play!
Yeah it was DOA when I saw it.
Like old times!
They had nice playfield
Great job. Shiny.
This was near my hometown. So of course we went and checked out Alice. She is a real thing of beauty. Even despite the fact I am more of an 80's guy. The callouts were so so, and the price is pretty darn steep. But wow, she looks amazing.
Amazing looking game ! Thx for the view mark
It is amazing looking for sure but game play it gets boring quick.
Never my cup of tea. Why did pinball evolve this way? I'm in an alternative universe. The other one still only has EM pinball, with Sky Lab, Free Fall, Skill Pool, and digit counters with only 3 wheels that can register a "1."
I love the old and new, well a little of each era.
@MarksBasementArcade I respect that. I just find the new stuff too busy, too fast, too noisy. I like the chimes, the spinners keeping score. Nothing like it.
You're totally awesome. That's for the videos.
I’ve noticed when I do this repair sanding with a finger or thumb will result in a dished condition. I had much better results using a small sanding block to maintain a perfectly flat surface. I touched up a Grand Prix playfield that was pretty bad. I matched colors and airbrushed all colors then clear coated using an automotive clear. That was followed by wet sanding with 600, 1000, then 2000 grit, then it was buffed. The playfield really pops now.
True however these needed a deep fill on them. They turned out far better than they ever were before.
Wow! I bet it does pop after all that work you put into it!
Glad to see you doing a proper job! Unlike the shoddy workmanship that's gone before.
What beautiful colors, tiel, mauve, lavender, all sorts of pastels. Amazing, gorgeous.
They did use cool colors back then.
Can you use the lemon law? That’s just crazy!!!
Lemon is for new or leased vehicles. I tried a buyback 3X. However a new update is coming next week hopefully.
If it's one thing I've learned from swapping my Bad Cats playfield, it's make photo's, photo's, photo's and some more photo's ;)
Yes I cant tell people enough to take photos or good video's in every process. I regularly read in groups "Where does this go"?
Beautiful job. Great game. I love mine.
Andy is a top shelf guy, Mark. I worked with him many years at KSC. Thanks for posting the video.
I love their products.
Tilex works pretty well for mold removal on wood.
I switched to clipping the pins on the chip side and then removing them one by one a while back. Never looked back to be honest. Even with the most effort not to pull traces I still managed to pull them sometimes. Soldering chips is not for the faint hearted ;) Thank you for all your video's!
Even the pros pull traces, I have done it replacing headers.
I took my kids through Brookfield Square Mall on a Saturday…maybe 6 months or so ago. Absolute ghost town. I would wager at least two thirds of the store fronts were closed. While the mall has had struggles (as all malls seem to be having now), it was still a pretty busy location prior to 2020. That food court was always packed with people. It’s pretty sad that it’s gotten this way. I have a lot of nostalgia attached to this mall. It’s a place I’ve been to many times.
If they can hold on a bit longer I believe the malls will come back to life, not all malls but a select few.
Unfortunately not a fan. Played it at Pin-A-Go-Go. Seemed bland and slow.
I think I know this guy!!! ;)
Ha!
I never liked these rype of games. Too busy, too many balls in play at once, could never figure out what i had to do. And no bells? Chimes? Stupid. Give me the old Skill Pool from Williams that scored in 1's and only had three spinners for a scoreboard. When you got to 999 a light illuminated behind a "1" on the glass next to the spinners making the highest possible score 1,999. That didn't stop us from up 27 free games.
Nothing like the classics!
Back to a time, when rainbows were black and white, and we had electricity delivered fresh daily, and bananas hadn't been invented. I get the sentiment, however new fangled electronic pinball is here to stay I'm afraid.
@gallimead Yes, like how when compact discs made vinyl records obsolete. All those proclaiming the death of an old technology wanted to be the first to say it because they sounded smart.
Wayne's World! Excellent!
Gorgeous board.
Really happy to see you rework Old Chicago. A classic EM pinball machine with beautiful artwork.
Cool
Old Lemony Fresh Chicago. Looking forward to see you get it done. Thanks for the videos.
I'm actually doing videos on each part so this will eventually be a series.
Hey this is pretty neat! It's like Pinball 2000 revisited.
Yes that is what its built off. Its one of my favorite homebrews. Id love to own one.
Love the Hot Wheels next to it. Good job, Mark. New to the channel. And, loving it!
Thank you!
My favorite type of game. Love the small flippers. When they are working properly it's more fun than rhe later, larger flippers. I also like games that score in "1's" (single digits).
Mark, I checked the data sheet for Superlube grease. I’m wondering why a dielectric type of grease would be used on the rivets? Seems it would adversely affect the electrical connection in this location. Would using conductive grease be OK here?
I have had not one issue with this grease. Electrical conductivity has not been an issue. I know many in my hobby that use this for the same purpose. I have not used any other type of grease, I use this cause it has never thickened up and slowed down the stepper.
4K action! nice!
I see it says “sold” did you buy it?!?!?!
Oh no, Id love one.
