I'm catching up on all the previous videos. Would you happen to have an ebay site for your cartridge based games not the arcade machines more like nes gba etc. You have a wonderful collection in your cases and I have seen many that I'd like to collect that I am familiar with over the years. oh and Instagram id like to follow yah.
The plywood cracking is called surface checking, its a nearly unavoidable problem because of how plywood is made , they steam or boil the tree and then use a massive lathe to "peel" the tree, in the process it causes breaks below the surface, over time the expansion and contraction of the wood from moisture causes surface checking which is the shrinkage of the grain boundaries of the plywood, another great video, its easy to binge watch this stuff lol
Thanks Mike I appreciate the explanation... I'm sure I explained it in the video but the way I see stuff like that is like you said, it's pretty much unavoidable so I don't get too bent out of shape if an older game has some issues cosmetically... it's just part of the deal and I make it look as good as I reasonably can then move on and enjoy it :)
Thanks for binge watching, we try to make the games the star of the show :)
Those who complain about videos being too long can always change the settings and watch it in... high speed :P
LOL Yup :)
Man when you started a game and I heard those sound affects………I’m a teenager again. I loved that table!
This game is really something special! Thanks for watching Jmonti!
If these old games could talk, I bet they could tell some stories!! Some of them even kinda speak to you in their own subtle way. Works of art each and every single one of them.
I agree, they all have something special to them in my opinion. Thank you for watching Headless Horseman!
I love your longer videos too. I always get told my videos are too long by some, and then other's tell me not to shorten them, lol. But I love the time lapse you did. I know there is more setup involved for those, but I for one, appreciate it.
Thanks In My Head, I appreciate it, we'll keep doing a mixture of long and shorter ones....
Just commenting to say that I also liked the time lapse repair work you showed this time. This may be too much work, but if you're worried about making videos too long you could always try splitting the video up so that you post one condensed "highlights" version and one with more details. Just a thought. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for watching Davis, we appreciate you tuning in for the long ones :)
I love your longer videos. I just sync it up to the tv and sit back and watch. luv your videos as you already no.
Thanks PoohBear, we appreciate you watching them, see you on the next one!
man, that has to be one of the nicest, routed, high speed's ever to exist! I have seen tons of these where the playfield is down to bare wood, I looked at one a few years ago to buy and i thought at first it was white wood, it was that worn out. Id clean it gently, and clear coat it as it is to level out the playfield and keep the damage down. Its a survivor! Even the targets are all intact AND the right color!
It was in pretty good shape but we had to repaint part of it :)
@@LyonsArcade As they say..might be a lil dust on the bottle, but don't let that fool ya about what's inside 😁..your friend Matt thinks I'm crazy too haha 😆
yeah originally the playfield for this game was not given much attention compared to the rest of the pin, that combined with High Speed machines being kept in service much longer then other pins released at the time due to its popularity led to a lot of HS pins getting their playfields worn down pretty bad. Eventually Mylar covers were given out to operators and better paint was used in later production runs.
Great video, I love to see these machines get some love instead of being parted out. It looked like your machine during the time lapse was in High Speed, or had a little to much caffeine that morning. I have owned my High Speed machine for 30 years now. I bought it when I was 13 years old. I have never thought about selling it. It is a member of the family. Hello from Phoenix Arizona.
“Dispatch this is 504, suspect ran a red light over. Roger 504 apprehend him.” - Williams 1986 “High Speed”, & 1992 Williams “The Getaway - High Speed II."
I love it but man I can't hit that top ramp shot for crap, I have to keep practicing the timing eludes me!
@@LyonsArcade- The secret to the ramp shot is you want to shoot the ball when the ball gets to the rear bumper of the middle police car. Give that a shot!
I'll try that, thank you!
please don't part them out, you will get half as much back after several years of parting out, compared to selling it complete to someone that will bring it back to life.
I love this pinball game I like when you push the flipper buttons it has a reving engine sound effect I use to go to the pizzeria around the corner love it so many memories Ron
That is a very cool game, one of the absolute best in my opinion!
Oh man, I'll watch this later, but I just had to comment. Legendary table!
Thanks Marty, we'll see you later :)
100% agree when I go to Skegness in the u.k. have to play this as there is a good one of these there with lots of others like Adams family . Very good players.
God I love your videos . Your a legend and always am trying to see what you look like in reflections in the machines. Lol. You need to get more of a shine on them .
It was the first pinball i ever played and it's still a lot of fun today
I know I enjoy watching your pinball repair videos all the way through. The only part / section I skip is when you play the game. Since I don't own any pinball machines, but plan on getting some, I find it interesting to see someone repair them. It also helps me understand how to troubleshoot them once I finally get one.
We enjoy fixing them more than playing them anyways, so that's fine with us :) See you on the next video!
Nice! I shopped mine out but left those 2 long ones. Wasn't pulling that ramp till I do a full resto!
Yeah those two might be the biggest pain in the butt of any machine I've worked on to swap. They're buried in there....
Very big thanks for making this video, I know you are not making enough to buy a beer out of the "clicks" but I appreciate the effort you made and no doubt other masochistic pinball restorers do too. I have this machine in my collection, it's one of the all time greats, Addams Family great, unfortunatelly mine was a basket case, in baskets, much much worse than yours it's a 34 year old machine, but it's had a lot of TLC since I got it (cheaply) and now passes for quite reasonable and very enjoyable to play.
Thank you for the nice words Elvis, we appreciate you watching and keeping yours up and going too, it helps the hobby :)
TLC..or TCB ⚡ 🤔😉
I appreciate your work a lot. For me when I’m restoring my games keeping them as original as possible is important but there’s a line where something needs to be replaced. As I’m learning more and more the more I appreciate the flaws these old games have and your videos help me with this greatly.
See you in the next one 👍👍👍
Aw thanks BaZzZa, we appreciate the kind words, and yes we'll see you on the next one :)
i watch every bit of these videos its actually super interesting
Thanks Tim we appreciate that!
I miss that pinball machine that would spew out 8 balls at once. I forgot which one made that model.
I think that was one of the Indiana Jones ones....
Random question. what was the name of the pinball machine that had a sub-playing field that the ball would light up when the ball dropped down on it and you would play on that lower field during that time, or what games did this if more than one. I swear I remember at least one and I wasn't dreaming.
The most famous two were Black Hole and Haunted House, both by Gottlieb. Another one was ACDC, came out a few years ago.
The upgraded Munsters has it too.
Wow high speed my buddies and I would play this at a Circle K store until the sun would come up. We got so good at it we could play all night for a dollar. We made it pop all night. The store manager finally called the owner of the machine who sent a tech out because they thought it was broke and letting us play for free.
We were actually playing when the tech arrived. He set the pop to a higher score to a million if memory serves me right. Ha we still could play it all night for a dollar. Flipped it so many times. Stroked it. Lol
Damn good old days
That's funny I've heard people do similar things on certain games, once you play enough you probably get pretty good :) Thanks for watching Michael!
My absolute favorite pinball. But man do the early ones have horrible wear on the playfields.
They played the paint right off of them
3 spinners! Yeah that green light, all the way to the end lol
This game is killer!
JOE CLASSIC, The pinball schematics don't tell you which contacts are "latched coil contacts"? they only show open or closed contacts but they tell you which ones are latched coil contacts
you can send it to me, after its done, its one of my all time favorites!!! LOL.
O.K., you're at 1120 Williamson St., Rome GA 31285 right?????
Really like the musical assembly video... very entertaining with the light show as well good job and thanks for the great vid.
Thank you Daniel we're trying to make it fun to watch... i'm glad you enjoyed it buddy, see you on the next video man!!!
i have a 1986 high speed in my collection. awesome game, still loads of fun almost 40 years later. you cant say that about much else from 1986. a computer from 1986 isn't very enjoyable anymore.
my game plays great, cosmetically it's not terrible but not perfect either. my play field is in better shape due to mylar that was installed at some point when the game was much younger.
i love the classic 80's and early 90's williams pins
I like and own the Pinbot Pinball machine (1986) Very interesting machine with a lot of lights and a exciting game
great vid joe.....love the timelapse repair :) thank you as always sir ! :) from west sussex uk x
Thank you Sas Farmer, we'll see yall on the next video, you hear????? (LOL)
@@LyonsArcade as always !!! looking forwards to the next lyons arcade installment !! dya get me blood ?? ;) xx
Joe, What would you charge to do what you did to this? I have one of these in better shape than this one, but it really could use someone who knows what they're doing to just give it some maintenance. I'd hate to break anything.
The best pinball of all time next to black knight
I love the music for the time-lapse repairs. Who performed it?
You can download them for free at www.bensound.com
I think the duration of your videos is great. I have a long attention span for what fascinates and entertains me. Then again, I was a teenager who would go through hundreds of cards one by one at Sportscards conventions to find 10-20 cards I "needed" for my collection. Marcus Allen being the player the most effort and time was dedicated to.
I used to go to some of those conventions, those were really fun times.... they probably still do them from time to time but I'll bet the whole vibe has changed!
I only know Marcus Allen because of the O.J. Simpson trial heh.
I watch all your videos from the start to the end.
Thanks Snextime, we appreciate that!
Same here
A great game. This sample doesn't seem to have been much abused. Thanks for the long video.
Thanks Tonero, more lonnnnng videos coming soon :)
Haha yep the same grips I had when I restored my H-S 1 as well.
I did unsolder that flasher though and I have 100% new plastics on the machine and all new coils too. :)
And you will hate me but I put green frosted LEDs under the plastics. ;)
I won't hate you man if I ever end up with that machine I can take them out and throw them in the trash if I want to :)
I'd have touched up the black of the stuff in the middle, but yeah, you have to budget your time, and sometimes less work is more. I get it. And you have to respect it in someone to know their limits and what they currently have the skill to do.
I went back and found this video. Because it’s the one I want to get. You said it is hours of stupid stuff to do. But it is not for us. I know you do it all the time but we are willing to watch you. We have not done anything like what you are doing. It is interesting to watch stuff I don’t know how to do. Thanks for your videos and don’t stop.
Good job at freehand paint repairs. I use stencils for the round areas. Cheers
Thanks Dre, we appreciate you watching!
@@LyonsArcade every morning with my coffee ;)
Wow, 200 broken machines is a lot! Did you all ever post a video of all the machines in your warehouse/storage area at any point? That would be great to see. I find the car and the couple in it looking strange. How they are positioned in the car and just outlined figures, and the car looks like the front could be the back and vice versa, sort of. That stood out because the rest of the gameboard is very detailed and tight (in a good way) looking.
We haven't filmed a video of our warehouse, but we did film one of a big lot of games we bought a few years ago, you might find it interesting: th-cam.com/video/ijunMxs-mFk/w-d-xo.html
What are your thoughts on LED upgrades?
I'm not a huge fan, I just don't like the look on the older games. Depends on the usage though and the bulb, etc.
I got a riverboat gambler and the ramp on that one is a pain to get off as well, Williams didn’t design their ramps too good for easy access😅
Nice one .....👍😎
Thanks Danijel, we appreciate you watching!
What is the value of one of these machines in relatively good/working order? I have had one, which I bought at a show nearly 15yrs ago - good (and fun as heck!) working order - but is being analyzed for insurance purposes now to try to determine cost justification to fully refurbish (or not) after being in a recently mold-discovered (now also under remediation), basement environment.
i much prefer your longer videos . i wish you would show us you taking things off the playfield. it could help someone that has the game and can't figure out how to remove a ramp or the such .
awesome pinball! Best one ever made!
That's what some might say :)
Here! Looking every little part of it ;)
Thanks for watching MrKillerpics!
High Speed was a great pinball.. (but Pat Lawlor had more hits than Ritchie) and the last WMS pin not to have Yamaha music. My only question is, since High Speed was WMS game #541 and the next pinball was Pinbot, #549, what happened to #542 - #548?
Fun fact: did you know that WMS had a patent on the parallel winding flipper coil? That’s why Data East never used one. Data East may have literally copied the WMS board system, but I guess they were afraid of infringing on the WMS patent.
I didn’t know that! Interesting.....
What was the name of pinball machine that was a predecessor to this one?
I keep thinking it's speed zone but not 100% sure.
This was the first like this one but there was a sequel to this one called "The Getaway"
I just picked up a high speed owned by the same family for 30 years. they took off the beacon to fit in their basement and lost it.. any places sell beacon assys?
Music at 42:15...... I can’t remember what it is.
It's a free track from www.BenSound.com called "Sexy"
Thanks for the played out version of this video. Totally understand I am a minority but I watched it all! This playfield is legendary. The Switch has this virtual table inder pinball fx3 and it makes me just dream of owning one( once all my video arcades are restored that is). Thank you for all your effort you put forth in your videos 😁💖
Thanks Michelle we appreciate you hardcore viewers that watch every minute :)
I CUT THE WIRE FOR THE RAMP!!!! YIKESSSSS
average watch time is 10 minute.. well I just watched him playing 2 hours of pinball to get a multi ball and then watched him fixing a jukebox.. I may need to re-evaluate my life!..... Nah!
you're one of the chosen ones that makes up for all the people that watch for 30 seconds, tell me something I say in the part of the video they didn't watch, then run off to insult somebody else :) Thanks for watching :)
Any chance of one of these for sale?
Unfortunately we don't have one in at the moment Gary, they pop up from time to time though...
@@LyonsArcade Other than eternal vigilance, any way to get in queue? I expect not, so I look at your upcoming inventory on www.lyonsarcade.com/ComingSoon.html Also looking for a Sopranos...
Hay man I used to play this game off base being that I was in the Air Force but Q Trip band me from the store, because I would use $0.50 and play all night
Great! Love this in-depth video!
Yes I watch the video, only when I have time
had this in my living room
You were a very lucky person, great game to have!
Wish I was older, this was made when i was born haha, love classic gaming ;)
Where you been Tony, we did all kinds of cool stuff before you were born :) I'm just messing with you man, yes there's a bunch of cooler old games but think of it this way, you'll probably outlive a lot of us :) See you on the next video!
@@LyonsArcade I well missed out man! I've been checking your vids and I love em, nothing beats the old tech ;)
I actually played this while on vacation in Wisconsin with my family many years ago and I was born in 1990.
Nice work!
Thanks Dave, we appreciate you watching us!
Im dying laughing at the comment about people saying you suck your teeth while talking. Halarious some people are down right harvard worshipers. Lmao
I'm not even sucking my teeth, that's the funny part... it's the camera, LOL
high speed pinball live
All the Way Live Wilder!
I think I've played High Speeds that looked worse than that one did coming in the door.
Man, my Playfield is so much worse than yours! Mine is so bad I'm scared to do a deep clean and polish. Check my channel to see my lighting mods. IMO my HS is a dog but I love playing it.
All that's important is if it's fun man, these things dont' have to look new they're made to play!
sweet!
We thought so!
Yodelayheehoo people 🇨🇭 😄
""""""" Could watch all day ,,,, if,,, Your one of a few shows to fix,,,Newbe just talk and showing the new ones cool and all ,,,, But who has 15,000 $ ,,,,some have to work You know """""
I agree 100%, I don't see how people afford them, and I never really admired something you could just go buy, i'd much rather have something older that nobody wants as much, or that you have to find somewhere or fix up. To each their own though, some people really enjoy the new ones and can't wait till one comes out, that's cool too but not really for me.
