What color should I paint the legs and other body trim? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
Nice grab for the price. I would say baby sky blue metallic. Just got a Bally’s World Cup Soccer 94. It’ll be my first used pin and will require a little work, but looking forward to it.
Dream of mine to even own 1 flipper.....
Tribvtes from GERMANY
White
I would leave it black personally. It will fit better with the legs and head. If you are dead set on a different color then I would go white. Congrats on the find!
Can you do a powder blue finish on the trim? I'm wondering if that will make it pop in contrast to the original artwork.
I would go baby blue on it. I had a story similar to yours. I found a Lord of the Rings pinball machine at a laundrymat pretty close to my house. The owner didn't want to sell it, but I ended up getting the pin for $1800 bucks (this was years ago when a new pinball from Stern only cost around $4000 bucks). It was dirty and needed some TLC. The playfield was so black with dirt and grime you couldn't hardly see the character's faces on the playfield. I couldn't wait to get it home and put a wax on it. I remember vividly the playfield colors "popping" as soon as the wax hit it. I still have the pin and it's been loved since I first purchased it, with additional mods and a color dmd to boot. Can't wait to see what your SP pin looks like once you're done with it. Thanks for bringing it back to life.
Great find, dude. I'm not a pinball wizard but I loved playing and seeing this. I can still hear the townspeople saying "hooray" in a monotone voice between each play lol
WOW Doug! That’s Wonderful. Congrats on the new baby, and for your new kid too. That South Park pin was a great deal, and I can tell it’s gonna clean up real nice. I’m excited to see the process. I vote for white trim. This video reminds me I have some work to do on my cabinet. Keep up the great work and have fun. 🤓👍👍
The work never ends. My wife constantly makes fun of me for always "tinkering" on my machines.
Wow! Jurassic Park AND South Park?? Top favs for sure. Nostalgia envy! Remember these both at the beach arcade in the late 90s.
Awesome pickup COOLTOY!
thanks man!
Hey man that's really cool and a great project to tidy up.
I still fire up Pinball FX 2 to play the Southpark tables on that. In the UK, the prospect of owning a real pinball table is down to if you can win the lottery or not :D
YOOO that's what's up Doug! Congratulations! What a sweet table. I only played it at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas but enjoyed it. Hope you, the wife and baby enjoy it! :)
Thanks so much!
The wearing of old machines is a double edge sword. It’s a good feeling seeing an arcade or pinball machine worn from play and good times. Not so much neglect and time. Glad you got this one! If you were to ask the citizens of Southpark, they’d suggest each leg a different color.
Yeah, I enjoy seeing machines that show signs of being used and enjoyed for many years. After all that's what they are made for, they weren't meant to be collected and shoved in a storage unit by someone just for the sake of ownership.
@@cooltoy to be hit by a flood lol
Just discovered your channel. Great stuff. Just subbed! I also recently did a playlist on a South park as well, it was quite the restoration adventure! Looking forward to following your progress! Have fun with it!
Thanks man, seen a lot of your videos. You do great work with the pins you have. 👍
@@cooltoy Oh thanks man, much appreciated! :) If you have any SP questions fire them my way as I been through it pretty much every single square inch lol. Good luck with your restore and nice price too, leaves lots of room to throw some money at it!!!
Congrats again on the new pin! I’m excited to see the progress you make fixing it up. I’d also choose white for the legs but you do what feels right for you!
Thanks for the vote, I'm stuck between choosing between those two colors myself, so I figured I weigh some added input to help me make my final decision.
At Pinfest last weekend in Allentown PA someone brought their restored South Park and they did it in all white. It looked amazing!!!
This is one of my favorite pinball games to play.
Looking forward to your gameplay video.
Mine too! The call outs crack me up 😃
great camera shots it's always interesting to see the conditions of these old machines now we just need the after video
Thanks 👍
Good score. Other than just black, I think an orange that matches Kenny's snow suit might look sharp!
thanks for the input
Man makes you wonder if that thing had ever been cleaned! But sometimes that dirt protects the playfield !
Lol they guy who sold it to me said, "I had my tech guy shop the machine out last year" I was like sure you did.... lol
Two new babies within weeks truly blessed.
No opinion on legs but...Maybe something custom? Vinyl 🤔 wood veins wrapped to match the south park sign.
Yep, two new babies going to keep me more than busy enough these next few weeks.
Wow, what a cool table. Looking forward to seeing your progress on it.
You and me both!
Pinball Forever 🔥🔥🔥🏆
Man you’re so blessed congratulations on your collection and amazing life 🥇🚀
Thank you so much 😀
light brown wood color like the south park sign
This is awesome!
Congrats on the new table! :)
much appreciated!
Cool pick up. Nice!!!
You killed Kenny! You Bastard!!
I 💙 this channel and your cool toys
thank you so much 🙌
Congrats Doug, that is an awesome price man and the Sega cabs are so cool to me for some reason. Certainly not the best games but they did have a charm. Plus it's South Par. Have fun restoring this one man
The only issue I ever had with the SEGA pinball machines was the few that had the goofy rounded back box like Space Jam and Star Wars Trilogy. Fortunately South Park was not made that way.
Congrats 👍 I actually like this table and it’s my wife’s fave on my virtual cab. Look forward to watching the cleanup. I kinda like the black fwiw.
The VPX version of this table is also one of my faves.
Hell yeah brother!.... 🤘🎮🕹️🍻
If you ever get out to Austin TX area, I'd love to get you a tour of our Multimorphic Factory and check out Weird Al's Museum of Natural Hilarity! Come hang out on my Twitch stream if you ever want to chat and talk pinball!
That would be awesome! I was born and raised in Houston and still have family down there. So next time I’m in Texas I may have to head on over and do that 👍
Oh I will purchase this from you once you finish. Let me know!
I have a Sterns "The Simpson Pinball Party" bought it brand new in 2004 and got used very little. I had it maintenance for the first time today and its not cheap. It cost me 375.00 dollars. I had all pinballs replaced and a chip added to the board that replaces the batteries that is connected to the board and he said it's good idea to remove the batteries cause they will leak battery acid and ruin the board. So now don't have to replace anymore batteries. The maintenance guy says it in pristine condition. Ask him about replacing with LED lights and he said it takes long time to replace them because there are 200 lights in the pinball machine. Love my pinball machine.
Simpsons Pinball Party is a great table! It's in my top 3 list of tables I want to add to my collection sometime. NVRAM is the way to go on these older machines, those old battery compartments are notorious for leaking and ruining boards. Glad to hear your maintenance guy is getting you all fixed up!
What a difference a little cleaning will make. Looking forward to seeing the progress. I think white legs would look good but hey that's just me.
Thanks for the input!
Great find. You should pick up some other stuff from that place
Great deal on the pinball machine. Would've killed for that $200 virtua fighter machine though.
Right!? Practically giving it away at that price.
Amazing pickup! I would go with white for the legs over baby blue
thanks for the input 👍
Fantastic, what a steal
Love it what an awesome table ..should do the legs a orange redish color
Nice idea, do you have a link to an example?
Damn that pinball machine needs A LOT of work. I look forward to seeing the restoration. Gl 👍🏼
nothing a little TLC can't fix 💪
Congratulations buddy❤️
Thank you so much 😀
Grab some half moon side rails and that will cover up the wear around the buttons. Looks nice!
Yep, already on order. All my machines have those, I’m a huge fan of those side rails
@@cooltoy Perfect, I really enjoyed seeing the clean up. Looking forward to more.
Wow! What a great table! I would go white, but that’s just me. I have three kids and there’s nothing more that my eight year wants than a pinball table. I have been looking around where I live in eastern Washington, and nothing like that at all. Hopefully some day. I love working on stuff. I’m sure at the right time I’ll find a deal that needs some work. Myself I really want the Jurassic Park table like the one you have. Thanks for taking us along with the restoration process. You’re the best!
Don’t give up hope, I’m sure something will eventually pop up in your area in due time
Sweeeeet!!! Super dope.
Glad you like it!
Nice man
First off, congrats on being a new dad! I'd paint each leg to match the color the boys wear. Body trim I'd go orange.
Thank you! I can’t wait until my little one grows up enough to where I can share things like video games and Star Wars movies with him
Looks like a fun project!
it will keep me hands busy for a the next few weeks for sure, can't wait till this project is all buttoned up and looking new again.
nice pickup... definitely needs some tlc. can't wait to see how you refurb that bad boy!
Nothing a little elbow grease can't cure. 💪
That's awesome and wow does that cleaner do some work. I still want to get a real pinball machine. I think TMNT but it depends on timing and price. They aren't cheap but they are so fun. That was a great price
I'd love to pick up the TMNT one myself. I just struggle to force myself to fork over that amount of money again. Especially when there are still some older machines floating about that I can get for a fraction of the price. But it is certainly reassuring though when getting a newer Stern machine, that it's going to likely be pretty turn key ready and require little to no work outside of basic maintenance, and sometimes that peace of mind is worth the extra investment.
Looks like chef and the boys have seen better days.
Also love South park and great find
Glad I'm not the only one!
Definitely a fun funny game!
completely agree!
Luv it ! Baby blue
That's what my wife has voted for too
Nice pin... the electronics looks surprisingly clean considering the rest of it looks like it was used to test sandblasting equipment. It's great to see this unit being saved and preserved.
I'd stick with the original colours but I'd be curious to see how the other options shape up.
The boards being clean was shocking to me as well, considering the state of the playfield upkeep. Silver lining on that one.
CoolToy,
SERIOUSLY DUDE!!! One of my favorite pinballs OF ALL TIME!!! Mr. Hankey, Super Fart Bumpers, licking carpet mini game! This one has it all! I'll always have love for the first pinball I fell in love with, Haunted House, but if we're talking just pure fun, you can't beat South Park! Ok, now I'm going to watch your video :)
vgv
South Park pinball gets a bad rap, but I've always loved it. The humor is fantastic in both call outs and gameplay modes, and the pin itself is very friendly to newcomers of pinball. I just need Color DMD to get through their supply issues so I can add the color display, these cartoon DMD animations where destined for the Color DMD treatment.
CoolToy,
Funny story. I almost got to meet Trey Parker and Matt Stone. I was helping a friend at the time film a movie for a class at CU Boulder and after we finished shooting for the day, he said, two of his classmates were filming that night and were looking for people to help out. At the time, I was really tired, so I declined. Little did I know it was Trey and Matt, future South Park creators. A bummer for sure, but I did get to see South Park, before it became South Park. Trey and Matt did a little Christmas card video for each of their classmates and my friend at the time showed it to us. It was called the Spirit of Christmas. He said Trey and Matt were going to shop it around as a possible TV series. The humor was so raw and even racist, and had Jesus fighting Santa Claus. I said, there is no way they're getting this on TV. But oh how wrong I was. And I'm glad I was wrong.

I knew once you purchased your first real pin it would snowball. lol That is a killer price on that pin but ya, it was really not taken care of.
So far it’s been cleaning up real nice. Hoping to finish the restore by next week if everything arrives on time 👍
that thing needs a tear down and deep clean. Great price though. congrats.
Yep, I’ve got the playfield currently sitting completely disassembled right now. Scrubbed it up really good and it’s looking so much better so far
Metallic baby blue, or stamped yellow school busses
great suggestions
you got it cheap... Congrats!!! I say Baby blue
thank you!
Baby Blue.
White brotha? It’ll give it contrast to the sky in the decal already on it
That games got some issues mmmkay
I've had 4 of these over the years. I really enjoy this game. I'd keep all the armor black. I prefer the Hammered Black which provides a textured look. I've seen them done up in white, just not a fan.
Either way, congrats and thanks for saving a great game!
holy cow 4 of them, that's impressive!
What is the music playing at around 4:48? I have strong Earthbound vibes.
Love that game, yes I suck at pinball but still enjoy it 🤓
As long as you're having fun, that's all that matters!
I would keep it black.
echo clean is by far the best cleaner out on the market look up the company ...tell them you are a youtuber maybe they will send you a sample my company buys it in bulk ...look it up
Thanks for the tip 👍
Check out Pinball Shenanigans TH-cam channel he did restore on one of these and there may be some helpful information in there for you as you begin restoring this one
thanks for the suggestion.
wow, south park is def in my top 5 tables.
Nice! What are the other tables in your list?
@@cooltoy Freddy A Nightmare on ElmStreet, Elvira and the Party Monsters, Rat Fink, Ghost Busters, South Park. Ya dat's du ticket:)
Congrats on the recent score. It's going to look great once you're done refurbishing it.
I'm gonna make it shine, it's a lot of fun bringing something back to life like this.
Awesome! Where are you putting these monsters? Did you buy his other machine for 250?
If I had somewhere to put it, I would have. But it would have just ended up in a storage unit if I bought it, and to me that just defeats the purpose of buying arcades/pinballs/collectibles etc. These things are meant to be played and enjoyed as much as possible, not stored away just for the sake of ownership.
It appears the original leg and trim colors were black from what I've seen online. I'd stick with the original color scheme.
Yep, black or chrome is almost always the standard color schemes laid out by most major manufacturers over the years. The bright colored trim options didn't really start taking off until Stern started releasing their LE model options that included that sort of thing. I've always preferred my machines to stand out from one another as much as possible. Though I completely respect and understand the alternative to that where many prefer to see their machines more uniform in sequence of each other. To each their own.
Going to need some TLC!
Baby blue
thanks for the input
Break out the Novus2, it’ll clean up pretty nice. Congrats!!
Lol, as soon as I hit reply you broke out the Novus. :)
@@suplrist4437 Stuff works wonders!
i am so jealous ever since i saw this machine ive been wanting in please paint the legs blue and buy loose south park mezco fiures to put on it
do you have a link to the specific figures you are talking about?
stuff like this
😯🔥💯
Please don’t paint pinball legs. Powder coat them instead. It’s a pinball sin to paint them. But my choice would be powder coat baby blue. Nice find for that price. I think it’s a fun machine.
Yeah I'll have them powder coated, I just said paint as a generic term for those less familiar with the pinball powder coating world.
What’s the name of that song in the beginning?
You stole that machine.. Nice find. Does need some work but I know you will make it beautiful.
Patience finally paid off, I almost drive 6 hours to pick this game up from different seller months ago and their prices was much higher. I'll happily throw down some elbow grease to save some money and in the end, feel better about my machine overall. It's always nice to save a machine from disrepair when possible.
@@cooltoyWell done. Guy I know Mike Dymus did a 12 part series of videos restoring his SP. May want to check out.. th-cam.com/video/4hRIIpLOgJo/w-d-xo.html
2500 sounds like what it should be but better condition, market is dumb how jacked up everything became
Yeah the pandemic really blew the pinball market sky high. So many of these older machines are fetching double the price they were just a year or so ago. Demand for the machines keeps going up, so do the prices as a result. I see all sorts of crazy listings in my area Facebook marketplace. I laugh at most of them, then come to find out they sell within a few days, it's insane right now.
Cooltoys ran out of room that it ends in thegarage.
The extra room in my house all resides upstairs. I don’t really feel like lugging pinball machines up stairs by hand. So the garage is one of my new hangouts 😆
❤️🏁👍
She's a beaut'!
I don’t know what’s more surprising to me……..the fact that you are local, or that this pinball machine was nearer to me than you, or that I’m pretty sure I know the guy who sold it to you. Are you in Springfield?
Yep I’m in Springfield
Hey mate, I have a short video of my statue collection/geek man cave on my channel if your interested
Was it lost valley by chance?
no
CoolToy,
2nd comment. You could paint it Mr. Hankey Brown :D Just kidding :)
vgv
😂
thats a 1500$ or less machine. Cool though.
You're not going to find a fully working solid state machine for $1500 or less in today's market, even the older EM machines that used to only go for $200-500 dollars are now hovering around the $1200 price point these days.
I don't think the title of this video is correct-- wasn't it made by Sega? Stern was making pinball machines long before South Park came out.
Let me educate you. #1 Stern Electronics and Stern Pinball are two different companies technically. Both have made pinball machines over the years, and have had Gary Stern involved throughout but are still different companies.
#2 Before Stern Pinball was a company, it was Sega Pinball and Data East pinball before that. Towards the end of Sega Pinball and it’s transition into Stern Pinball, South Park and Harley Davidson machines were being made. The machines at the end of those production runs have subtle differences between the earlier Sega Pinball runs. Things like Stern branding on the internal boards instead of Sega, a lack of a “Sega showcase” badge on their DMD and a few other little things here and there. So technically speaking this is a Stern Pinball unit and not a Sega Pinball machine, despite its obvious early origins.
Go white.
Nice pickup. I really like this game despite as you say many do not. Looking forward to the transformation.
I've never understood the bad rap it gets myself, but then again just like everything in life, different strokes for different folks.
