YOPPSICLE EVERYTHING!!!

Wow, these look incredibly easy to install, even for a knucklehead like me. Where can this knucklehead obtain these fabulous devices?!?

great work sir!

Way cool, David.

I have a 1971 Bally Sea-Ray EM machine with all kinds of flickering lights. Will these work in this application?

Love the Yopps use them whenever I can. The burning of the wires at 6:18 was, well, something I would have put on the cutting room floor.

It took me almost 50 years to realize that's Tommy and his mother on the backglass. Kinda racy for mother-son portrait...

I have one of these original Supersonic Bally Pinball Machines down in my finished basement. Found it at a place selling and repairing Pin Ball machines during the mid 1980’s in New Jersey. I paid $200 for it in great shape. It is still down in my finished basement. I haven’t played it in awhile but the last time I did everything was working fine. The reason I purchased this one was earlier on in the late 70’s there was one in a tavern a friend of mine own and I always liked it. So when I spotted the one I have I had to buy it. This one in the video with the man hours involved must of cost a mint to do.

Sorry, I have not watched the entire video yet, but since these have a + and - , I assume that they can't be used for the GI bulbs since they are AC. Am I wrong about that?

Wow, that was exceptional. I learned a whole lot, and believe it or not, I was riveted. Really enjoyed the video. I've just been inking the insert surrounds freehand, but if I start doing more game restorations, I need to adopt your silkscreening method, for sure!

My grandparents had one of these machines and it brings back literally every good memory of my childhood to see this video. My aunt still has it, but there's family drama I won't get into preventing me from ever getting to play it again, even though it was promised to me.

Do I HAVE to connect the + to the + and the - to the -? Sometimes I can’t get it to fit properly without turning it around…….

I graduated in 79! Hello to my fellow graduates, hope this finds you all well.❤

Awesome vid

One of my favorites. We had one of those machines when I was a kid.

Me dejó mucha enseñanza para mi vida amén y amén

Muy linda película

HA! Just picked up a players Six Million Dollar Man I'm doing a full restore on and will go LED. Just discovered your channel from forum mentions on Pinside. So where did you get the light strips from, where are your sourcing them? I did pick up an Alltek lamp driver board so I don't really need the load resistors but if they are already there and I don't need to build PCB's that's awesome!

Great demonstration David. Did you finish them off with a buffing wheel or just leave them alone after the wire wheel?

I love the idea of the Yoppsicle, and they look very well designed. My problem is that I'm going for a very retro feel for my pins, in keeping with their late 70s vintage. I noticed that when the lights on your playfield flash, it's obvious that they are LEDs, since they come on and off instantly, instead of the slight build up of light from incandescent bulbs. Is there anything that might be done in order to replicate that (incandescent bulb) look when flashing? I'm guessing it would be pretty expensive and you'd need to use dimmable LEDs. Thanks a million.

Love it. And thanks much for developing Yoppsicles! My recent Playboy restoration includes these entirely and the result spectacular. Where's the full reveal video for Supersonic? Brought one of these back from the dead this week 🙂

Now that looks like a really cool game! Congrats!

Played this a lot in the mid '70s, same machine in the same FUNLAND Toronto for a couple of years. Thanks for the great video.

Sweet!

Excellent. I was using a nail file but could not get the center part. This seems to be a good method.

Hey, in Orlando for American Legion Fall Conference, and there's a Pinball Tournament going on at the Hotel. Talked with some guys from a place called The Pinball Lounge, from Oviedo, FL. know of you and claim you're a Household name in the Pinball world. Glad I know a famous person.😁 Good luck in all yoh do, Dave!

American Ingenuity right there!

Thanks for this David, I’ve been struggling with my Playboy p/f and has only one star rollover! Love the Yoppsicles BTW, easy install.

I went to Frayser Baptist schools. Does anyone remember Coach Wendell Johnson? I'd like to see if anyone else does.. When it closed we all ended up at Skyview.

Haven’t seen yellow in your online shop

Stunning game the colors are beautiful and rich & it's set up perfect for crisp snappy play. There's just something magical about this era of games when restored to this level. Love it ! Well done & thanks for posting.

sry for your loss.

my tank got shocked by my heater. I am wondering if it messes with the live rock or bacteria. none of the fish made it. had no cleaning crew at the time so I don't know if snails would have made it

The simplicity is amazing. The results are beautiful!

What in God's name is a yoppsicle?

@David Yopp just found these today, great idea. A quick note on the Purple led's not being very bright but having the same specs as the others. If you check the wavelength of the purple ones (nm, nanometers) you will find that once you get to around 400 or less you are starting to enter the Ultra Violet range and this is obviously out of the visible range to humans, they are in fact putting out the same amount of power and this will be noticeable if you have any UV reactive colors painted anywhere near them. Same applies to Infrared (IR), anything over 700 nm starts to appear less intense for the same power. One way to make a brighter purple is to use an RGB led and mix the colors to taste but obviously this is more costly and you need extra components on your board. Keep up the great work and I will definitely be purchasing quite a few of these for my Firepower resto 👍

Thank you for this excellent video and walk down memory lane! I wish things at home would have been different, but it was beyond my control and you do what you have to do to get through. I was Linda Standard (Duncan) in the graduating class of 1981. FBS was a quite literal life-line for me. I was not popular nor well known, but I do so very much appreciate the casual friends I did have as well as some very perceptive and supportive teachers! I have always credited FBS and a few specific teachers with my life and career success ( not the least were Virginia Wagner-because you “saw” me-, Mary Walton, Ginger Freilich, Aaron Lewis, Pat Morris {“THINK!”}, whom ever taught me all that advanced math). I was not a cheerleader or an Eaglette. I did edit our 80-81 yearbook but cannot take much credit for it as so many students did most of the heavy lifting. And I played on our HS softball team. I was in the music dept until 1980- anyone remember singing on the Buddy Bane Morning Show in Tupelo MS? Well, anyway, thank you for this videos. If you remember me, I’d love to hear from you... I’m Linda O’Toole now, living in FL. Hi Ya’ll. Class of 1981

I really wish Stern would remake some of their old classics like Flight 2000 and Quicksilver, just with updated sound and release them. I'm sure they would sell.

That's so sad David. Sorry to hear. 😞

Sorry for your loss.

Is that you singing?

Loved this, thanks so much for your video! Got an 1956 pinball I plan to restore. The batch photoshop tool is super helpful. Thanks!

I enjoyed this video. I graduated from FBS. I was there when Kim and Patience attended. They were two of the sweetest girls. I also remember how shocked we were to hear of Coach Williams death. I had a huge crush on him. I’m grateful for having been fortunate enough to attend this school. Thanks for the video it really brought back some memories. Oh and by the way I was a Eaglette the first year we were formed and one more year after that. I started working after school so I didn’t try out the other years. Thank you so much.

I think you got something going on here really

The Nickel Bowl in Myrtle Creek Oregon had this machine in 1971, when our family took over the lanes. I have wondered for many years if any still existed. Low and behold, one in great shape (now) does exist. It brought back a lot of memories. Question; were there any variations of this machine, if you know? I have some fuzzy memories of subtle differences. Thank you. Oh, by the way, this machine was supplied by Coin-a-matic out of Roseburg Oregon, whose owner's name was Maxine, and the man who serviced it was Steven Standley, I believe. Once again, thank you.

How did you get the glass off?

Love the Firecracker! Could you show and explain how to set the high score and bell jumpers? I'm working on one now and can't find any help. Thanks

When?

Hello sir, Beautiful machine. If you don't mind, where can I buy those red posts? Also what did you used to polish those chromes ?
