You're getting more and more popular overseas too. Here in Belgium, your vids are allready well known amongst pinball lovers. Keep 'em up Todd and co. You're doing a great job!
The sound and speech all come from the same board...press in all the socketed chips first...hard. Once may have popped loose. Sometimes the speech chip is powered by an extra voltage...you can clean the edge connector of the speech board and make sure both fuses (I believe the sound board is powered from two fuses) are good. Possibly the fuse for the speech voltage is blown. At least that's a good start!
Man, I'm loving these video's the information i get from it is amazing. Thank you for doing these video's and keep them coming i'm absolutely loving it
Victory was originally supposed to have a lower playfield just like Gottlieb's "Black Hole", but that feature made the game too expensive to produce so instead, they were going to add a model race car that moved around a track anytime a checkpoint was crossed but that turned out to be just as expensive as the lower playfield so neither were used.
Great Green Screen Todd. Whats the normal time to just putting in LED Bubs in to a Pinball I would think it would take forever specially ones that have a lot just in the game field?
dvddmc Once everything is off the playfield, its pretty easy....and our guys do it and check out the results as they go! Watch Shaq Attaq video today to see this process!
Could you imagine how MANY moments people playing this game were like "we're at 7 - COME ON - just one MORE " who 'get it' ? Pinball machines often are terrific to test abstract learning, you have to figure them out, and once you do mastery isn't far away. If you ever watched Being There with Peter Sellers - Jerzy Kosinski wrote that novel - he ALSO wrote a novel called Pinball. In it - he reveals the title - as to why? "Because- you never know what will happen next". Somewhere we've lost this wonderful mix of analog and digital I think. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's moved to cards, but really, the LAST think I want to hear in a car is something like the Comet going "Hit me Hit Me" for that center target. Cars SHOULD Be less flashy - and more functional to get you from point A to B. Speaking of the Comet - funny story- I had a used book store once, with Uncle Bills Amusements across the street- a friend said - why don't you get one of their pinball machines in here - you're a business. Eh- bad decision, but I did. So here is someone looking through my 7 part Gibbons Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire - first edition, meanhile in the background you hear "HIT ME " lol from the machine. The two environments JUST didn't work out, while I DID READ a lot of the books that came in, I think I preferred the Comet more in some ways. A totally contained experience. Hope you guys did well on your Globetrotters restoration - as a child, that game was a blast. I'm SURE if I saw it now, it would be FAR FAR FAR simpler than I recall. lol.
Tim Miltz I wonder if Uncle Bills Amusements is still thriving? The man and son was thrilled with his Harlem Globetrotters restoration...plus we also sold a Harlem from our showroom (both videos are posted here on TH-cam!)
I have this machine, and I love it. I repaired the right flipper myself and now I've lost the foreground voice (there is background music still playing, but no voice talking about checkpoints); there are several videos about proper grounding, but I don't see one that resembles this machine's design. I would love to get the "voice" back, but I'm not sure how. Any suggestions? Thanks for your videos, love them.
badreality2 Always loved those scenes with David Tomlinson & Joe Flynn! I filmed the green screen late at night---no one else around (tripod) and it was a bear to match just me up as much as possible! I agree we need Frank in some green screens!
Well done Todd, that was probably the smoothest, most accurate green screen you've done yet! You're getting better! =) Not a fan of Victory, but it still looks great!
Paul M Thanks Paul! Enjoyed making the video...its getting tough finding material to match up to these games on the spur of the moment! We basically finish another game, and the have to make a video for the new owner...and we think "What can we do with this one?"
Great stuff guys and its good to see some green screen action again ;-) I am still waiting on my new graphics card so I can watch your Expo video in full HD quality because my PC can only run TH-cam in 480p ha. Keep up the great work guys. Always enjoy the videos.
I play Victory quite a bit on my ipad on the game The Pinball Arcade. I think it's a pretty fun game. I didn't know about the 2 balls thing you were explaining. Nice looking job you guys did on it.
Riz2336 Its a neat feature that not many were aware of...I had a customer years ago argue with me that he was sure he was supposed to get Multiball...and of course never did...he just didn;t like the explanation I gave him!
New high score for the VICTORY PINBALL MACHINE: 99,995,720!! Didn't get the x8 multipliers, so I didn't get to see the score counter reset to O instead of 100 million. You did not mention something about the score counter on this machine. If you don't get the 8X multipliers and you get past 99 million the score resets to 0 instead of 100 million, 101 million, 102 million etc. I don't know if that holds true on the real machine or not. However on the pinball arcade version, I was very good and never thought I get that high - getting better at it!
My game wont shoot the ball when it goes down in the hole on the top or the side any tips of how i can fix it? when it hits on the top the sound plays but the ball is stuck.
***** Yes, I guess it does...the videos are sort of tailored to Pinball Players who know that sort of tyhing...but I realize we have a lot of Non Pinball viewers now...almost 6000 subscribers!
Pl video is almost over- I HAVE to comment on the acting - JUST WONDERFUL - you must have explored acting at some point, and if not - perhaps you could ! Really a fun trest there Todd. "YOU" .... GET... life, er, I mean YOU "GET" Life, or maybe YOU GET "LIFE". :)
Tod, thanks for the video. Did you notice that your playfield differs from the regular production? Pay attention to the middle area in the lower section. The formula 1, the Gottlieb mark, the Victory name, the blue surroundings, it's all different.
TONERO Tonero I wonder if this playfield is the USA version...as this one was NOT returned from Europe but an original USA machine (because I got it back in trade from when I sold ti years ago).
To date, I saw only one in France. The machine had the ROWE brand logo on the apron. (Germany company). The machine you have is the 2nd one. Victory is a great game
@@tntamusements Mine is the same as the video with no car on the checkered flag in center of lower playfield. It is a warranty replacement. The original had the art printed on mylar instead of the wood. The mylar didn't stick well on some of them. This was my second pin, bought last summer. I'm still enjoying it!
only think I know about this game is it's on Pinball Arcade and I sometimes can play it well but checkpoint 3-4 all random.. and yes often get the ball back in the entrance. Too much red for me though. and again oh missing the bottom sigh. yeah it's an OCD thing but I like seeing under the playfield at least we got to see the actual playfield underneath :D and someone of late has been playing TNT on Pinball Arcade because I see TNT on the top name on that app often on Steam. Kind of a great way to check out certain games and I'm sure because Victory is on that app it's getting attention again.
Ascyltos it's either way too hard or the red on the table is too much. think more or less the design isn't quite right for a particular shot. unless someone gave it to me I doubt anyone would keep it. course if I did get such a game I'd probably try t trade it in for credit at TNT..
Great Art and Production Design, but that's where it ends. I'm generally not a big fan of Gottlieb, and the congested playfield configuration here is an obvious reason why
New high score for the VICTORY PINBALL MACHINE: 47,365,530!! It was very difficult for me at first when I played it four months ago, but now it is much eaiser, and that is through practice. So again, a new challenge..My tips are as follows....Get an extra ball, and if you lose that one, try to get another extra ball. Really, nothing helps to raise your high score if you don't do that!
The bottom line is - these guys are at a technical level they COULD be building nuclear warheads and restoring those- but oh no - They HAVE lives- and passion - and seek to bring people HAPPINESS proxy of technology. If I EVER find anyone that needs servicing for legacy machines ? nuclear warheads excluded - I'm calling TNT... Sounds kinda strange with the example I chose. TOPS - just tops. It takes a very special person to care for machines in this sector, or special people. There is a base level joy watching these videos, even if it's a game I'm not familiar with. Marshal Macluhan says we turn to nostalgia when we are in identity crisis, in this case, I disagree. Here is a group of people preserving a culture that has necessity to be preserved. My FAVORITE TV show is Counting Cars with Danny - of course, in this case, I don't KNOW if a network would pick these guys up - if they did ? I BET they'd be surprised at the success of the show, for now though, this is up there with my favorite youtube channels to subscribe to, probably #1 for me as current. Sure I subscribe to software development channels, but TNT offerings are equally as serious as they are funny- I think the Greeks tried to master the tragi-comedy. Heh, I grew up with a Globetrotters game next to a Broken Arrow (or was it Golden), next to a Scramble video game. The machine ultimately is JUST a catalyst for what is inside of us all. But who doesn't like a 3x multiplier ?
Tim Miltz We DO enjoy what we are doing! These games originally were made to MAKE MONEY...but now they are providing tons of memories to those who used to play them!! I wonder if you were thinking of Bow and Arrow pinball machine? That would be a few years older than Scramble and Harlem!
S3V3A Glad you liked the videos!! Keep watching! Oops...left out the rest of my thoughts...its the first System 80B talker! Their games talked starting with Devils Dare from 1981 to 1983..and in an effort to save $$$, they stopped talking (speech chips were not cheap) until 1987 with Victory! In the late filming, I omitted this important notation but I have added an annotation to the video (not visible on mobile devices) and also in the description!
Lyle Johnson most of these older pinball machines have been lomng junked, parted, or trashed...as they were selling for next to nothing for a long time.

This machine is easy to pass but it has 3 main putadas that you can get to fuck a lot, 1: the lower left side, if you hit the bumbers in a vertical direction you have to pray so that it does not sneak in there, the 2: the targets, the targets to be in slope has the tendency to go the ball to the left queue, the 3: the extra ball is quite hidden and many times or is reached by serve, or by bounce, otherwise turn it around is easy and fun, as long as you do not fuck those 3 things ...
The targets in the center of the playfield here really muck everything up and completely destroy the flow of gameplay. You can expect these type of inferior table designs from Gottlieb. Gottlieb Tables usually never contain the refined quality of Williams or Bally Tables.

Maarten Lemey Thanks!! Glad people like our videos...we spend alot of time making them it seems...but at least they are appreciated!
The sound and speech all come from the same board...press in all the socketed chips first...hard. Once may have popped loose. Sometimes the speech chip is powered by an extra voltage...you can clean the edge connector of the speech board and make sure both fuses (I believe the sound board is powered from two fuses) are good. Possibly the fuse for the speech voltage is blown. At least that's a good start!
Always love watching the old live action Disney movies, seen this game on the Zen Pinball app but have never played it
KingHenryVR4 And The Love Bug was a favorite!

GYRUSS Thanks! Filmed so late at night, as I wanted to get the video up before Thanksgiving!

Using Love Bug footage in this video, fit this game's theme perfectly. You should have persuaded Frank, to green-screen as your navigator. :P
