    Dear Santa, Please bring Ron and Joe something special for going to all the trouble to film and fix this complex Grand Prix pinball machine. As for me.....just bring me this Grand Prix pinball machine. Cheers from Canada!

    Very enjoyable video. It’s always good to watch the steppers getting some treatment, as these have to work right on every em machine ever made. I always feel better when the playfield is cleaned and re-rubbered. …Regarding Mylar removal, in my experience the 60s Gottlieb playfields can often stand you taking off the Mylar, whereas the 70s playfields are a lot more problematic. The paint tends to lift very easily on 70s playfields. The machine looks great now.

    Great job. Love the sound of all those reels resetting.

    I like the digital and EMC pinball games alike. But there is just something that I appreciate more on how the engineers pulled off truly complex and fun gameplay with EMC computing, with relays, switches, scoring reels, and stepper units.

    43:29 my first thought was to remove plastic from the flipper. Your solution is much more elegant

    3 in 1 oil is good, but for electric motor bushings the best thing I've found is Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). It's a good quality mineral oil that has a lot of detergents in it so it doesn't gum up and it's pretty high heat tolerant before it breaks down. Transmissions get pretty hot after all.

    Over the years of watching your PB videos I am slowly getting a better idea of how the whole mechanical to electical wizzardy works... well Kinda :). The one thing that drives me crazy when looking at the schematic, not knowing the current state of the game or what the the state of the gears are in or what they are suppose to be. But after whatching a few videos (LOL) I am beginning to see a little logic in the madeness. Thanks Ron! Really enoying this.

    • @LyonsArcade

      They all do it different, sometimes it's drawn after the game has reset and kicked the ball out to the outlane... and sometimes it's drawn as it sits in game over mode.

    I am going to have to put it up for a vote as to which is more impressive... Ronnie's finger trick.. Or Joey waxing in fast mode when THAT track kicks in... its a toss up LOL

    Another awesome video! Really like how you break everything down into separate tasks. I've recently added an ultra sonic cleaner to my bench... it really makes fast work of cleaning complex mechanisms. Looking forward to a bingo game video.

    I'm working on the same machine right now. Do you use number 44 bulbs or number 47?

    • @LyonsArcade
      @LyonsArcade  13 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

      you can use either but I use 47's they put off less heat and look about as bright....

    Nice. My son and I got my Xenon back working. He's starting to get into electronics at school. It's about 95% fully going. It's playable, but not tournament ready 🙂Aux Lamp board was causing the game to not boot fully, but after his solder job, it finally booted. Also, lower thumper would not fire, then after failing to get it working, I came to play it the next day and it was working just fine. "Try TUBE SHOT!!"

    The late gottlieb em pinball machines can be pretty complex aswell. Definitely gonna be a challenge to get this game perfectly up and running

    Man I just realized, we aren’t getting daily December videos anymore. What a shame. 😢

    • @LyonsArcade
      @LyonsArcade  13 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      It was fun doing that but ultimately looking at the analytics, it made each video get about 50 or 60% of the views that they would normally get, so it was kind of a wasted effort.

    • @chrisSP0234

      For you guys as content creators yeah but it’s all about the fun being had. Not the views or money making. 😀

    You should show how you burnished and adjusted switch contacts as well as applying super lube dielectric on the stepper

    Are there any machines that are so worn out that despite a complete restoration, they still have reliability problems? Which electromechanical gaming device is the easiest to restore?

    • @LyonsArcade
      @LyonsArcade  13 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      Not really, most of them can be made to work pretty well even if they're worn. Easiest to 'fix' (we don't really restore) would probably be the slot machines, they don't have a ton going on in them.

    Maybe I'm a perv, but the layout of this table looks like a lady. Round things up top, curvy on the sides, and comes to a "V" on the bottom.
    Thanks for the video

    My mom started an arcade when I was a teen in the 70s. She wanted to keep an eye on me and see who I was hanging with and how much I drank.
    It was the hang out in the small town, especially in the frigid winter of Northern Michigan. After my mom got our Las quarter, we could plat free pool, Foosball, and pinball. We couldn't get free pinball because the machines were rented, but we could take the glass off and pit tape and rubber bands in areas to help rack up free games.
    I loved pinball and chasing girls, smoking weed in the group of pine trees in the back, drinking Mad Dog 20-20, listening to great 70s rock on the juke. Oh those hot summer nights and freezing winters!
    I build electronic stuff and would hang out with the repair man that would come to collect money. I was the pinball wizard and Foosball champ. It was a pain hiding being stoned, but my mom was pretty cool. One of my friends was so drunk from 100 proof southern comfort, we put him in the broom closet until he sobered up. We were all pretty good kids though.
