Fun Fact: This was the same model of pinball machine that appeared in the Ugandan rebel camp in the 2006 James Bond movie Casino Royale. Anyway, always wanted to see the machine in action. Thank you for the video!
It is and considering it's now 53 years old with all original parts amazing it still works perfectly and requires very little maintenance. Fun to play as well and the more they are played, the less maintenance they need.
@@DaveCorbey Oh wow! I could definitely see myself buying one at some point in the future. I've only just begun my journey in the espresso hobby (researching machines) and I'll be buying a Lelit Elizabeth in the new year (thanks to your wonderful reviews). In this age of ephemera (Spotify, Netflix, Instagram, etc) I find myself more and more drawn to *real* things. Another hobby I'm looking to pick back up again (since leaving as a child) is aquaria: keeping and breeding tropical fish, growing aquatic plants, designing beautiful miniature slices of nature to liven up the room. It's always nice to talk to people who I believe are kindred spirits, even across different hobbies!
Yes, for me, it's about preserving what's left of them, they were ingenious devices and I enjoyed them as a kid. It's the time I also learned about how to repair them.

I didn't know that, It's my oldest table, but probably the one I enjoy most because of the gameplay and variations of the special positions.
What a beautiful machine! I love the sounds it makes. The bells and chimes are really nice!
