Todd Tuckey shows you a MNF we got out of a basement after YEARS sitting unused...and look at the Battery Damage!! But now, its another beautiful restoration!
Thanks! We have fun making them! PLUS, they REALLY help us sell games to future customers! Yesterday, TWO customers came in and bought games based on watching these videos for the past few months!
Yes...we ship Worldwide! Cost is $600 to any seaport in the world (except Antarctica!) It includes power conversion too! Just shipped a Disco Fever to Australia, a Cue Ball Wizard to Taiwan, a Missile Command to England, and several games to Canada! Battery is shipped in the game of course.
Glad you like them! We have tomorrow, a Street Fighter Pin, a Centipede, a Tempest, a Rowe CD Jukebox, and if they get finished, a Qbert and Burgertime---a big lot of games all going out!
I still have prhaps 40 of these corroded Williams and DataEast/Stern Logic Boards on the shelf we have gotten parts from...when they get pretty empty, we then sell them! I take quite a few to the pinball shows to sell too!
what a shame that the original PCB was corroded beyond repair. fortunately, thanks to that spare logic board, another hard to find Data East pinball game has "risen from its grave" (as Zeus from Altered Beast would put it).
I have a good friend and you 2 could be twins. He even talks like you, but unfortunately he does not sell pinball machines. We used to play at the bowling alley for 5 cents a play
Pinball Arcade that designs the apps but uses real pinball games says they use the old batteries and got very testy when I suggested even for future use they should at least go to Lithium AA's. almost stopped playing the app alltogether after that :( they might as well store them out in the rain
I kinda prefer to prepare for a what if instead of waiting till something happens which is what often happened where I used to work. Seeing that we were the last newspaper in the world to use this one ad inserter. waiting till the last minute to um ask if the original creator was still around was tricky. had to fly him in from Germany.. or that general area. He had no idea anyone was still using it.
todd iam working on a Monday night football for a guy that bought from tnt in Columbus ohio he had it for a good time and the field goal ramp went up and wont go down, motor hums and stops I was able to get it loose I think maybe the gear box locked up but now it moves but motor still hums where can I find motor and gear box?
TNT Amusements Inc Good to hear. That was my favorite machine. Had one in my home in the early 90’s but as I said I had so many problems with the posts that I traded out the game for Comet by Williams. Still have it but would love another MNF
Todd...NVRAM is the way to go!!!! Just remove ram chip and plug it in!!!! $30 and well worth it..Supposed to hold memory for 30+ years!!! Lockwhenlit dot com has them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Dan Keller Well, let's think about it. Button Cell is $2 and holder $2...it will last 4 to 6 years and cost $2 for replacement battery. Nvram costs $30 or so...its life is simply not predictable. I have them last for years and others go bad after getting a static zap. Then new Nvram is another $30! I would think in even ten years, you would haqve moved the machine on anyway! Just my opinion!!
TNT Amusements Inc Yea they are still pricey but just so cool but you seam to do the litiham battery mod but you are mentioning the button battery mod so why don't you do that mod??? !!!
Dan Keller The button battery is lithium...we have started switching over to them. We still have some 4000 machines with the larger lithium batteries on them though....when they come back in trade, we will start converting them too.
TNT Amusements Inc Do you use a 2032 button battery? I have a few battery holders that I took off some junk Rush The Rock game boards so they should work..Do you change the diode? If so what's the part number?
If only they put the batteries below the chip instead of on top. Just curious. What lasts longer, 1 lithium or 3 AA? And i guess they make lithium AA as well if that makes any difference
Outstanding work! What would the industry do without you guys n your skills! Thanks for the post🎉

Surprised they didn't make more considering a pinball machine was used in the 1988 Monday Night Football opening that season.
I'm picking one of these up tomorrow Todd, Todd, Todd! 💣💣💣💣
I always get so excited when I see the first new video from you in awhile... it means there's a chance more are coming up! :)
Glad you like them! We have tomorrow, a Street Fighter Pin, a Centipede, a Tempest, a Rowe CD Jukebox, and if they get finished, a Qbert and Burgertime---a big lot of games all going out!
I love watching these videos. Todd obviously loves what he does and it comes across in his videos. Keep um coming!
Great video guys, very funny with the keyboard smash. lol
Love it
Please don't ever retire, Mr. Tuckey!
I still have prhaps 40 of these corroded Williams and DataEast/Stern Logic Boards on the shelf we have gotten parts from...when they get pretty empty, we then sell them! I take quite a few to the pinball shows to sell too!
What a great game. Thanks for sharing :)
+Mens Room Arcades You're welcome!
I watch about all the videos you guys upload, always good pinballs and humour xD
keep up the awesome work!
Nice machine!

Almost ALL Alkaline Batteries will leak acid...some TONS and TONS of acid!
Thanks!
Frank makes that noise intentionally to see if anyone notices it! It's part of his character and for us to do unexpected things in these videos!

TWO of me??? Not a good sign!! :-)
TNT Amusements Inc LOL
Curt came up with that...he planned it, but never told me he was doing it! So even I was surprised!
1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue :)
COLEY FOLEY SAYS: "SHOOOOOOT THE BOMB".... HAHAHA!
:-)
Be nice to have a control board that would make us look like expert pinball players.

How do you get acid damage from alkaline batteries?
Do you also ship the lithium battery's with the quick tab connection to The Netherlands, and what would it cost to ship them to The Netherlands?
I know there's not many of these....What's the going rate for one of these?
Done up like this--$3500

It's hard to teach old dogs new tricks...but just WAIT until their game logic board is full of acid and unrepairable! It's bound to happen!

I say get a 6264/2064 RAM-adapter and forget about batteries at all. forever.

MrSilverballmania Steve at Pinball Resource in New York can either sell a new motor if he has one or he can now rebuild some of these motors too.
The goal posts always broke on that machine.
I never had one come in with them broken yet
TNT Amusements Inc Good to hear. That was my favorite machine. Had one in my home in the early 90’s but as I said I had so many problems with the posts that I traded out the game for Comet by Williams. Still have it but would love another MNF
Wife won't like that!!
Houw do I make free play
