I just love your dedication. I'm still waiting for the moment I don't agree with your decisions. Been a couple of years now already. Never going to slip up I guess. Thanks for all the years of awesome content. Merry X-mas by the way to you and your brother. Hope for many years of content. I only watch the pinball videos though :) .... and - yes - damn tilt bob.
Merry Christmas. My dad used to service, deliver and collect for a vending company and I would ride along once and awhile. This machine looks to have had the glass broken more than once which explains the odd wear. Most likely was in a few bars in its early life which can explain a lot. Cigarette smoke,broken glass and spilled beverages. Not to mention the machines were rotated around establishments to keep the revenue flowing. Your content brings back some great memories, thanks.
Awesome work on this one. I still enjoy playing this. And I'm just leaving the pink wear as is. I just don't have the skill like you do. Thanks for the videos on this one. And ALL the videos for then entire year. Merry Christmas.
It’s Xmas day here in Australia….Great to have this video to watch….Really good work on the touch-up. Also, the game looks great for having new skirts and caps for the pop bumpers. Next time I hope to learn what you get when you rollover all the nine rollover buttons….Happy Xmas Ronnie and Joe…..better get busy putting your tree up. ….Somehow I don’t think you’re all that fussed with putting your tree up, …but maybe not. I guess we’ll see on the next video.
Looks really good as usual. These videos are great for people buying these machines. You know everything that was done. Still amazed by how dull they are without chimes or music. LOL.. Happy Holidays!!
The pink may not match 100% but over all the pink, it's faded in a way that was a bit patchy, so unless it was pointed out I don't think anyone else would notice. I think you notice it more as you know what you did. I don't think someone who didn't know would even notice it at all. As always, you've done an awesome job with the tools and time you have available. Merry Christmas! I hope you have a happy and safe holiday time ......
It was the day before Christmas and sitting in the house, was an old pinball machine pushed into the corner, left alone for the mouse. ''It has sat for years.'' they said, with dust and grime. ''It can't be fixed. It isn't worth a dime.'' The playfield looks good, real good to me. Let me give it a try and maybe we'll see. Ron clinked and clanked, shimied here and there. It could be heard in the distance the smallest of swears. Then he said with a grin and a shout, ''Ive got it!'' he said ''Ive got it, no doubt!''. When the children wokeup the next day they could see, all the lights were flashing and blinking in attract mode with ease. The sounds that came out were roaring and bright. The smallest children and dog were given a fright. Ron laughed and said ''It's easy you see. When you watch my videos, you will be like me.'' To all a merry Chistmas and a happy new year...
That's a game machine I've not seen,...I would've remembered it. It's really a kind of "pastel pink" ie; a bit of base color and white. To me, it looks like ketchup and mayo mixed for thousand island burger sauce. Always with the food, lol. Merry Christmas all! Cheers. 👍
that Dealer's choice qualifies as a savior. going have some battle scars/wear and scuffs. the touchups came out pretty good, sort of adds to the savior state. pink is a royal PITA to color match even with original color code, same batch
JOE OR RON, Do they make Rivet Replacements that are Higher Current Rated for the Stepper Units? It seems that certain Rivets are always connected with current flowing so it burns up damages the Rivets. Maybe they made High Current Rated Rivets for Stepper Units?
I was thinking if the burnt up rivet was beyond repair, you could rotate that whole board on the bonus unit, move all the wires...then it dawned on me you can probably just move the wire for that one rivet to another zero rivet. I dont know, just thinking out loud.
@@LyonsArcade Yeah, sometimes you look at it like what the h*** LOL. I've seen my fair share of that on some. Even the newer pins in the last 20 years.. You say to yourself. What nail file did they use to rub that away when the rest of the place field was fine?
As always, I thoroughly admire the work that you and your brothers do. Incidentally, early on in the month my 22" lcd tv, which I call "Mubayetheth" was showing signs of...getting old? As far as I know, this channel only features repairs of CRTs as far as tvs are concerned. As far as I can tell, I suspect that it might be the power board that is at fault. The reason I think this is that early on in the malfunctional behaviour, it was necessary to turn the tv from standby to on a couple of times and now - well - now it's 4 times. Bulging caps may be the fault on the powerboard. Anyroadup, later on in the year, I will get myself a Fluke multimeter (I've never spent much money on multimeters, and I reckon it would be good to get a really decent one), and maybe a decent low cost handheld oscilloscope (any ideas you might have with that would be helpful). I've been researching lcd tv repair stuff, but - repair in general - your works have inspired me. One more thing less - what, in your opinion are the most reliable electrolytic caps? Last thing - my main hobby these days is doing retrocoding. I use the WUSDN plugin in eclipse that as far as I know only allows me to create .xex files with the MADS assembler. This means that all I can do is make games for the Atari 8 bit line of computers - preferably the Atari 800XL / 65XE (I'm too old and messed up to try and race the electron beam with an Atari 2600). Anyway, if you want my modest efforts, I'll be happy to email them to you. One last other thing which obviously contradicts the previous statement - I love how you have been fixing movements of clocks on Amateur Repair Time and also the fix of the 1937 Silvertone - this has been an awesome year. Thank you for all of your works.
I put buttermilk in camel once... woke up in Tijuana with a new tattoo and a splitting headache ;) Merry Christmas 🌲🌲🌲 Its Dielectric folks!! you cant get better than that at Christmas! I know you are not a spokesperson.. you arent afilliated in any way but did you know this was a thin??? "Super Lube® Nuclear Grade Grease is a synthetic grease specifically designed to meet the most rigorous purity specifications of the nuclear industry." I mean you gotta trust a company like that for your lubrication needs!
Amazing color matching, Ron. I wonder if the people why buy your machines ever wax the playfields again. It kills me when I lose the ball between the dual flippers.
This a rarher a low point on Williams catalogs as some of their designs were just cut and past designs. Gottlieb shot themselves by not buying Williams out when they were wounded.
Merry Christmas to Ron, Joe, and Donnie. Thank you for another year of great content across the 3 channels 🤘
Another neat game brought back to life! "How dare you" lol awesome job as always!
Man the color matching you did on the bottom was straight up phenomenal. Awesome job!
Merry Christmas!

Yeah they have to have some kind of sound or they really aren't any fun at all...
Hey Ron!!
Merry Christmas to you, Joe & Donnie and the entire Joe's Classic Video Games family.
Hey Jason! Thanks Merry Christmas!
Another clinic, another triumph! And the musical selection puts this over the top. Merry Christmas to y'all! And a prosperous New Year!
Merry Christmas, and thanks for watching!
A case of the vapours! 😂 Nearly spat out my tea. Merry Christmas to you and yours, hope you all have a nice and peaceful holiday.
Mr Mackey (and Ron) says "Metal coil sleeves are bad Mkay "
Merry Christmas! Cool machine.
Merry Christmas!
I don't wanna go to pound town...
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Joe and Ron. Love your videos.
Thank you LeighAnne, Merry Christmas!
Your touchups will look even better with the glass back on the machine

Merry Christmas, Ken!
even if the glass had been on an easy save is using a strong magnet to pull the ball loose
Merry Christmas to you and yours fellas! Thanks for an awesome year of learning!
Nice video. Merry Christmas. 🎄
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Joe and Ron

Pretty good. You don't even notice it, unless you're looking for it.
The color match looks right on, when playing you won’t notice any difference
Wishing you a very Merry Christmas Ron, Joe, and Donnie! 🎅🎄🎁⛄️
Merry Christmas, and thanks for watching all these years!!!
Great video, great EM pinball, thanks! The touch up looks brilliant👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
In some countries putting a little buttermilk into the camel isn't culturally inappropriate.
Merry Christmas Ronnie, Joe and your brother Donnie ❤
Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas Ron & Joe, all the way from Finland!
Merry Christmas, Buddy!
Nice looking machine.
The super lube is food grade safe. So you can use it on food processing machinery as it's safe for intermittent contact.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you both, and many more.
Merry Christmas Michael! Thanks for watching!!!
Those jet bumpers are very strong. I really like this game.
Where do you get your lightbulbs?😊

@@LyonsArcade Thank you
I think you should see if a blacklight makes it glow 🤔
I was thinking if the burnt up rivet was beyond repair, you could rotate that whole board on the bonus unit, move all the wires...then it dawned on me you can probably just move the wire for that one rivet to another zero rivet. I dont know, just thinking out loud.
Its Christmas morning in New Zealand people..Merry Christmas to one and all 😊👍
Merry Christmas!
You're up early again :)
@@LyonsArcade Yes sir:)
Merry christmas buddy looks great as always Probably somebody played it with a rusty ball
Merry Christmas!
It's just weird it was only in that one spot at the bottom.... Merry Christmas!

Thanks, Merry Christmas!
Did you just say “stuck in there like swimwear”?
I might have said that, yes

I think that's legal over there, not sure
Amazing color matching, Ron. I wonder if the people why buy your machines ever wax the playfields again. It kills me when I lose the ball between the dual flippers.
You should put banana flippers on it. That would make everyone happy.
I like the open concept .. can follow/anticipate the ball better.
.. still the outlanes are a kind of 😊cheesy rip off loss of the ball.
Merry Christmas & have a Happy New Year, Ronnie, Joe, Donnie and your families and everyone else! 🎅🎄🎁
Thanks Steven, Have a Merry Christmas!
This a rarher a low point on Williams catalogs as some of their designs were just cut and past designs.
Gottlieb shot themselves by not buying Williams out when they were wounded.
ok
Ron, i would love you to turn up at my house. Machine coming along nicely.
👍👍👍😎☕
No I didn't see the smoke.
