Next time use a hammered paint spray

Use a hammer with a larger head

To straighten 90 degree bends use a vise leaves no hammer marks or dimples

The physics engine in this game works very well. It's a great simulator for teaching pool.

You have the coolest job on the planet

FWA the metal you talk about at 36:25 is just yellow chromated steel. Back in the days they used chrome-6 to make a very durable anti corrosion surfacetreatment. You also find this in transistor radio's and clocks from the '60s and '70s. Why they have stopped this excellent method, you have to ask Erin Brockovich.

Was listening to vintage Hawaiian music two days ago, (always around this time of year for some reason), then you show up with this. Love steel guitar. Another pinball I've never seen but would love to have for an imaginary tiki bar. And yes, shame about the glass. The theme is awesome. PS; surely it wasn't originally white was it? I could see tan or something tropical being used. Cheers. 👍👍

3D print a cover for the Gobble Hole!

I used to put my name on first place in that machine , know every corner or bump in the track

Btw this machine was also on the final 1970s episode of Columbo. Season 7 ep 5.

I have the dame back glass issue. I was thinking about having a sign shop make a new acrylic insert for it, but idk. Any thoughts

You also didn't say it's broke.

One thing I have learned the years. If you ever not sure how dis-assemble and re-assemble these, well, assemblies. Take a picture with your phone. It seems really simplistic, but even with 30 years experience, it has saved my bacon more than once.

Thanks for the vid. Love your work.

Anodized steel frame on the score reels if I am not mistaken.

I've been waiting for an old gottlieb pinball fix! I had a 66 slick chick back in the day that I got up and running! I'm going to watch this several times! Hell yes brother

Hey Ron , I know it’s probably too late but I have a set of Gottlieb legs that someone had put on a Bally Six Million Dollar Man I restored last year . If you want I could ship them down . They are in much better shape than those but could use some paint .

I'm looking forward to seeing y'all work on the cocktail pinball machine you mentioned in one of the past few videos.

Today you have to silence the continuity beep from a VOM. "I'm triggered! Had to visit the therapist!" Back to Aloha. 1961 was a great year. People can use their imagination for the backglass.

Thank you for doing these videos! I always learn something new with each one. EM's are my favorite machines. Just a marvel of engineering!

Hey Ronnie!! My wife was watching this video with me... we were watching the part with you testing the flippers and switching back and forth from left to right. She says... "OMG... does he only have one hand??" 🙄🤭 I said "Yeah. When he's holding the camera in his other hand!!" 😝🤣🤣 Thought you'd appreciate that. Good video! 🙂

Some light oil on the shafts of the snowshoes also helps them go up and down smoothly as they travel across the rivets. This is a great old Gottlieb game from when they ruled the pinball world. Nice work on that beat up backglass too.

Keep up the great work. I spent 1/2 a day at the Silverball Arcade in Asbury Park today ! ! ! Love Pinball ! ! !

Great video! Looking forward to this one.

The last guy that was working on it, didn’t finish and said it was “broke”?

Hi Ron, what a great machine, and as old as me! Thanks for the video. As far as spit for cleaning, I'm still laughing about that! Catch you Friday!

Remember what that old crack head in the alley said? No not "power supply, power supply power supply" That is the hippie. He said " I'm going to make me a glass sandwich!" You are off to a great start!!

Great start Ron. I had a back glass on a 1940 Roxy machine in about that same shape. I just clear coated it like you do and it hung on to the remaining paint well. My Roxy is a little bit of pinball history and I don't mind it being imperfect. It's 85 years old and should look like an 85 year old person with lots of character on it's face. Cheers from Canada!

Hey, Ronnie. The inside cabinet bottom looks crusty. Have you thought about blast cleaning using walnut shells or soda blasting?

The 7 people who disliked are the ones that complain about the sandpaper rivet cleaning.

LOL Boob measurements! Good stuff! Thats why Ronnie is good at what he does, attention to detail. :)

You mentioned the temperature,a temperature controlled room .Yeah...the machines where i work require those conditions.

That is one beautiful table! Too bad it's not a wedgehead.

My guess is someone was grinding metal near the cabinet and grinding sparks hit it. It’s the same way you get rust spots on glass.

36:28 From what I can see that looks like cadmium plating, just be careful if it does corrode and become a bit white and furry, time to look at specific cleaning advice then as the crystalline dust is very toxic if inhaled..

Hi Ron, thanks for another fantastic video. I'm sure that cinematography award will come your way one day! I mostly work on pinball machines from the late 80s and 90s, but every time I see you working on an old EM, I know I have to buy one from that era someday.

Really enjoy watching your content. I had a Beast Busters and Desert Tank arcades years ago and never could get the Desert Tank to work seeing how I didn't receive the cord to connect it to the wide screen monitor. My Beast Busters worked flawless till we were about to move. I think daughter touched and turned the knobs on it cause she would always play inside the cabinet. Lol😂 That's why I always kept it unplugged. It would work and have sound, but only a black screen. Wish I still had them, cause I knew they would be a easy fix for sure. I ended up selling both arcades for $60 to just get them out of the home we were moving from. 😢

👍👍👍😎☕

the pinball wizard at work saving old machines for another 40 years of life.

Thank you for the in depth review of the repairs , I feel as though I have learnt something.Most video's just skim over things.😪

Thank you for another enlightening video. I've learnt so much watching them all.

This looks to be a rare game. Manufactured in 1961.....only 1700 units produced. I love it.

Love this old loud machines

Looking forward to this one! Regards

The backglass represents Molokai Kalaupapa.

Very interesting looking game, can't wait to see the end result. Thanks for the video and keeping these works of art alive and playable.

This generation of Gottlieb pinball machines is my favorite. I use to go to an arcade as a kid that had a back room with many early 1960's pinball machines. Aloha was one of them. Thanks for the video. Great machine.

Does this not go up to 1000 points? Will you be able to save the back glass front face and make the ladies look nice again?

Don’t complain just watch and listen

Am I wrong… but with a perma locked lock relay it probably can’t tilt either.
