One of my all time favorites. Recently found one to play after 20 plus years. This restore is fantastic. Most people don't like to add old machines but this is perfect.
Thanks so much Todd, You truly are the best out there :D
Thank you Mike!!
Your Quite Welcome :D
You guys hit this one out of the park. Looks fantastic!
Thank you!!
One of the BEST pins ever!!
AGreed!
That is one sexy pinball machine. Bride of Pinbot, you have stolen my heart.
She conquers all!
It's nice to see the before and after because it shows you just how much work jason and steven had to do,and the end result is just simply the best looking bride of pinbot.Always the best @TnT ..
Thank you John...the boys loved your comment!
Such a tremendous amount of work to restore some of these machines. Glad you filmed the progress.
Yes...this was such a project, we thought documenting it would be interesting for many!
Man you really brought that machine back from the dead, looks great.
Thank you!
Beautiful machine!
Thank you Bob!
Beautiful. Love this machine. TNT Forever.
Thank you! We hope to be here forever...hope my girls take an interest in our business!
Stunning, my second favorite table!
:-)
amazing rehab on the bride! she was a used up toilet! can't believe how good it turned out. kudos to team TNT
Thank you!!
More amazing work!
Thank you!
That's some Beverly Hills level cosmetic surgery your boys delivered, Todd! The old lady looks stunning :)
ALl prettied up!!
I have bride of pinbot it's awesome 👍 but looking for getaway Pinball.
That’s an *amazing* restoration!
I really enjoyed seeing your team bringing the Bride back to life!!
Sadly, my only exposure to this pin is via a digital recreation as part of "The Pinball Arcade". While that platform is supposed to be portraying the table in its original state, your restoration makes the table look at least 10 times better!!!
Thanks again --- And I'm going to keep dreaming of the day I can own a TNT restoration!
Thank you for such a nice compliment! We all appreciate these comments...they guys love reading them!
Amazing! THUMBS UP ALL DAY LONG! (currently 2 poor clodhoppers, what's their problem?)
Only TWO people hate me!! (Or they hate Jason or Steven!)
Looks amazing! Please do a detailed restoration video of that comet!!!!! Lol
its in the works!
TNT Amusements Inc awesome!
Thank you!
Back in the early 80's, on a new pin, we removed all the parts from the top of the playfield and applied a full sheet of clear 3 mil mylar (similar to you putting on the sheet you did). We found that we had to cut around the posts and other parts fastened to the top of the playfield because the mylar expanded when the playfield warmed up. That would cause the mylar to buckle where it made contact with a part on the playfield. What keeps the mylar sheet you're using from buckling as it heats up and expands?
Well, almost all of the machines we sell go into private homes where heat would tend not to be an issue...and the LEDs make everything run cooler too. We have not encountered an issue even on trade ins from games we used it in then past!
3 Games used WPC-Alpanumeric boardset. Funhouse, Bride of Pinbot, Bally Harley Davidson. And 100 Dr.Dudes
I have been lucky enough to play this one as part of a large scale exhibit on gaming. She was beautiful and desirable...everything you want in a pinball machine. Did this one have the two separate sound schemes?
This is the original version...as released in 1991...there is a new version being made now with the new sounds!
Big Big Fan wonders if there was ever a TnT machine in Lewiston Maine ? Great Movie boys Tilt it!
Not sure if you are aware, I managed a movie theater in Bridgeton Maine...near you! Back in the mid 70's. Watch Video #67 th-cam.com/video/JBauXd--OEY/w-d-xo.html there is some footage of the theater. The movie Carrie came out and Stephen King came to our theater when we premiered it! I stayed at a rustic camp called Long Lake Shores (on Long Lake)!
now thats really cool
I just got a pinball like this. And needs restoration. How much does it normally come out too?
Between $2500 and $3500... depending on what's needee
@@tntamusements ok thanks.
Did you also strip the underside of the playfield? or are you able to leave the wiring on there?
We were able to leave all the wiring alone...but of course, we had to add connectors, etc...when we put back together again...
Todd--you should give out posters in addition to the trading cards! Everyone loves posters to put on their wall. What about action figures, at least? :D
The poster idea is neat...but with the cost, would have to actually sell them.
I need a buttery smooth Wallace action figure now.
My Wallace!
nice job
Thanks!
What crown LEDs did you use? Or did you stick with incandescent?
these were clear cool whjite LED's
Great looking machine, so I am guessing that the new mylar playfield should last longer than paint?
I like paint..we are guessing that the mylar overlay will be okay...but its impossible to really know until the years add up...issue I would think is if the machine were placed in a store window and the sunlight was shining on the game...and the playfield heats up under that clear glass....
so is Bride of Pinbot up there in value with the Adams Family? Beautiful Game
Sadly, it is not...BUT, a nice example of one will continue to be higher than others of same vintage.
TNT Amusements Inc its still funny how adams family is so valuable and expensive.
Awesome work! What did this restoration cost the customer? It seems like such a hard job. Nice job TNT!
It was a sale actually...and was $4199...we simply restored it...customer saw it before and wondered if we could really work magic on it!!
You absolutely killed the job!
:-)
8:37 is that Cutting Crew in the background
Excellent work wanted to ask if you sell the coverage of playfield the image to paste in my pinball firepower since I am from Argentina and in this country I can not get it or if you can recommend someone who sell it from now thanks greetings from argentina
I do not have it, but try Jeff at Classic ARcades. Todd
Thank you and once again congratulations for the work done
if you put a nylon wash between the Nut and the Plastic that should stop any breakages don't over tighten
Our washers are lexan...and so far, it has worked perfectly...we are seeing games comping back we sold right after we started using the lexan washers and zero damage!
TNT Amusements Inc no I mean between the plastic and nut
we do not put anything...manufacturers didn;t either unless there was a ramp mounted to the post.
TNT Amusements Inc more likely that's down to coast having a metal not rubbing against plastic is not a good idea, will cause fracture around the whole having a Nylonl washer will cushion the nut to the plastic. that's the issue Jersey Jack having with the light pipes? on The Hobbit's , if a nylon washer is applied before the nut this should prevent fracturing because of hard plastics they're using
I will contact Stern about this!
Think in theory Jason did the Curt gag as he was the only one there :P Meanwhile poor steve is like behind everything.. Ever thought of Filming him with either a webcam or something else aimed from above (or below? yikes) working on a single table (edit time cause I'm sure he works on more than one table at a time. have a timer set in frame and speed the video up to show everyone how long takes to finish a table (no audio needed I think. or everyones a pair of chipmunks :P ) (meanwhile while you know the 2 games (and this one ) I love but I'm looking for a pot to **** in. , for the games you remove the monitor out, ever thought of shoving an LCD connector up in there for buyers who ask for it... Kinda throwing this out to the buyers as well) true CRT are easier on the eyes (blue light) than LCD, heck the latest androids and Windows 10 both have options now to tone the blue down (oh everything goes a bit yellow fast but you get used to it )) just a thought though. And just send them places to buy an lcd thats the right size etc (unless they know a guy who knows a guy :D )
the webcam is not happening...the guys get pretty flustered as it is...if we had a reality show, or these videos generated money, that would be different....
Just a suggestion.. totally understand. Was just throwing it out there.
if our videos were getting a high view rate...it may be different too.
not sure why you need the lights behind your eyes? I thought of a good way when the balls land in her eyes that they will look like real eyes, reflecting in the balls . two ways you could achieve this the simplest is to get a white LED with a lens type,, it looks like about 45 degree angle behind the Shroud or whatever you call it. probably blue would be best brown,or green. get some coloured film so it's in a ring stuck on the front of the LED with the centre blackout , you can achieve this with paint enamel! black paint Matt will do the trick? leave a little bit say half a millimetre of white light around the edges of the coloured film plastic, to represent the white of the eyes. when it beams on the balls your see looks like eyes, you could try using movie film of Steel 35 millimetre film. basically what you're doing is turning the LED into a little projector and you're beaming a image onto the balls. what would look quite awesome thats what you got to do for your next one toddy
Thats an interesting idea...maybe a viewer will try it out and post here a link to a video of the results!!
Awesome game! I own two of them. You should document a 2.0 Dutch pinball kit. I installed it on mine and allows you to play both the old game and new Dutch pinball version. It's a great game. I also have Pinbot. Just wondering for Comet do you have the roller coaster sticker for the ramp? My comet is missing it :(
Yes...we will do that for sure one day!!
Also is that tempest cabaret for sale?
it sold on Saturday as a matter of fact!
Oh no! That's another one I want.
Great work, where to buy Overlay ?
Jeff's email address is in this video description!! He will sell direct to you! Todd
TNT Amusements Inc thanks, but not clear coted?
I prefer reprinting the whole playfield, instead of putting overlays on them.
but, but, but.....
First??
Yes you are! You are up late!
ya you did. Tilt it!
Sometimes.. Thinking most anyone that watches has a little bit of a kid in then..
Forever a kid at heart.....
Why of course!
