[@retrogameroom9019]

[@CodaBroda]

What an awesome collection; didn’t want the tour to end, haha Especially loved seeing the older pins; really interesting commentary all around, thanks for sharing with us!

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

[@luftydrums]

[@PoconoJoe]

another fantastic video John thanks! I remember many of these, we got different games every month at our bakery in the 70's and 80's:) good times, had 6 cards to;)

[@ellrick]

Long time fan who has really missed your videos. Im also mostly a pinball guy, so I LOVED this video. Keep them coming!

[@uconndropout]

This is just great. Hearing the intro really made me smile. Thanks John!

[@westcoastronnieOC714]

John I'm so glad you're back! I was getting really irritated for a long time. So glad you made it back again. You're the best guy out there in the arcade world. I've been a fan for a long time and don't let covid stop you from getting on the road. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Andronicus87]

I missed John so much I just saw this video in my recommendeds and was like WTF!!! A new Johns Arcade video!? YAY!

[@screaminr4828]

Great to see your back . I missed watching your videos during my lunch break and I really love your on the road videos .

[@rockme2145]

Man, so glad to see you´re back! I´ve missed you a lot.. and I love on the road vids.. thanks from Sweden!! :-)

[@paulclarke7571]

57:55. The intro music for the "Wipe Out" pin is a surf song from back in the 60s. Bit of a miss on that one. Guess if it was a surf theme they couldn't have a ski lift thingy.

[@ShaunBMcKinnon]

Glad to have you back!

[@dustykatt]

Yes, the gold splatter was on purpose. I restored a Bally Paragon and had it for 10 years. This table was also a sequel to the 1978 table "Lost World". Both tables art was done by Paul Faris.

[@ulissesmoran2154]

Nice to have you back john!

[@mikepare1967]

Hi glad your back at it! Love your videos!! Freeplay Arcade and the Western Mass Pinball Club are great! Hi guys!

[@Riz2336]

Great to see you back man, it's about time dude! That guy has a great collection of pins

[@ukxvc]

Glad you're back pal! Western Mass Pinball Club looks amazing and that video was shit hot mate

[@tony714keene]

Thank you for coming back with new video's!

[@GalaxyGames843]

Welcome back John! Glad you are back at it!

[@ClawMachin3]

Great video John, that place looks like a ton of fun!

[@GWJUK]

Well that made me like pins more than I did before. I like the old ones, nice simple rules and would be good to have top score nights on I'm sure

[@cliveappleby8019]

Glad you are back John awesome on the road episode LOVE Pinball! ! !

[@Pinballroomcville]

Awesome collection! But, Only tools wear Ferrari shirts!

[@ninjamaster3453]

Entering that pinball club was like going to Fight Club. Wouldn't know it to be there. Super neat. Glad he got out during the pandemic. When this is over in 18 months we will be looking back on it.

[@Bayliner887]

So good to have you back. You are a great inspiration to fellow enthusiasts! Keep up the great work!

[@PaulKostrzewa]

It's been too long, glad to see you back in the basement! This was a great return, great road trip and some amazing pins I've never heard of...

[@SilentMott]

PHEW! Didn't know how many times I could watch that Journey restoration again.

[@Cesar-sp3nx]

I remember playing the hell out of a pinball game in around 1987+ at Skate Central in Stafford TX. Still haven't been able to locate what game it was, but remember there being a red head or brunette woman on the back glass and it having a somewhat space/rock theme. Looked very 80s, but I've always wanted to figure that out.

[@andy6576]

1:49:25 Correct, the cab's light-guns will NOT work with LCD screens. Modern light gun cabs that have LDC screens work the same way as Wii controllers, with hidden LED lights around the screen.

[@JesseH76]

Man, you have the coolest basement in the history of basements! ... Just needs a bar. Haha. But man, you being gone builds a new appreciation for how much I love your channel.

[@mathewboswell4562]

i am so glad your back, i have no problem saying i missed you!

[@Stella-ri5ex]

Listening to the histories of arcade machines or pinball machines is very fascinating, to say the least.

[@randyfrench9401]

[@chemical6793]

wow i never knew mass had so many great places to play pinball and arcade games been looking for some good places for a while

[@Siggy_Sour]

how cool is seeing that Contact and realizing HArry Williams first electrified pinball (marble) with "Contact"

[@jeffturner5541]

It's good to see you again, John! Welcome back! Great video!

[@mikebigelow561]

My favoret was one that had 3 total playable sections.. there was the main level like any normal pinball game with lights and grafixs. On mine was a plexiglass window with a separate pinball field below the main play field.. And lastly it had a one flipper suspended pinball game above the main field and was reachable with a ramp... so 3 games in one cabnet..

[@badmonkey2651]

Nice to see you back John. Hated to see you break with all the momentum you had, but I think people need Johns arcade especially right now. We all need a break for some maintenance just like our games. Big thumbs up and I’m digging my Johns arcade shirt out of the closet.

[@PikaStu666]

Damn, John's Arcade on the Road! Best Sunday ever!!!

[@ArcadeFreak-gw5rp]

Oh my God John thank goodness you are back, I was waiting patiently for your return, welcome back. Great video.

[@silveradoguy87]

A JOHNS ARCADE ON THE ROAD! WOOOOHOOOO! What a awesome vid for the 2nd one back! Glad your back to makin videos I love learning about all the old gaming stuff cant wait until I can get my own game or 2!

[@TheArcadeArchive]

[@tikibirdarcade6647]

So happy to have one of my favorite KZbin channels back. Cheers from Australia

[@Doggo_Norse]

When Jhon said I hated theater of magic...oof that hurt 😔

[@lancairw867]

Went to the The Strong History of play museum in Rochester, NY last year. Has an incredible collection of arcades, pins, games and computers. Have a really cool pinball play area with new and old. Has anyone ever been ???

[@allglorytogod12]

Damn, I have missed these Sunday nights for a long time. Once again, welcome back. And thanks.

[@IllPropaganda]

What a treat for a lazy Sunday! Thanks, John!

[@budmuffin3841]

Card Whizz is the same as Royal Flush which I have fond memories because somehow I could play forever on 1 quarter because it was easy to get replays.

[@MystiqEevee]

Wow! the basement looks so different its kinda cool actually nicely done john!

[@darkinertia2]

johns "you like those cupholders?" arcade

[@T-RavisComics]

WOW awesome collection

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Wow, for pinball this guy has beat Doc Brundy's by far (a place that reused my parents' old Keeping Memories Alive buildings here in Utah in Spanish Fork)! But does this place have a restaurant and duckpin bowling too?

[@netropolis]

GOOSEBUMPS!!! I got goosebumps seeing the JA intro! Lookin' great John! Glad you are back! you were missed.

[@TiltingT]

So glad you are back and making videos.. missed your content!

[@clivehawkins2056]

[@alexfaria6551]

[@JM-mi6og]

Awesome pinball lingo!

[@harijsbelskis492]

OMG!! Its soo good to have you back!!!

[@33danally]

What was the first multiball pinball machine? When I played pinball in the late 70's early 80's The Black Knight was very popular...I know that was not the first. Love this video.

[@insider1927]

I was in a pub in Devon a few weeks back and up on the shelf was a bottle of Pyrat Rum It was a sign John

[@drew2196]

Glad to see John back. Hope the break from KZbin helped him out

[@Tossphate]

The lion in paragon is a mythical creature called a chimera

[@shaolinlueb]

Woah. I never knew this existed. Three Rivers is a hop skip away.

[@westcoastronnieOC714]

Hey John! That mirror finish that you were talking about on time fantasy I think the other pinball that you were trying to refer to I believe is Silverlverball Mania. please anybody don't quote me on that but I have a feeling that's the game that he was referring to I will research.

[@westcoastronnieOC714]

Williams did make a wide-body called stellar wars. I love that game.

[@XxsuperconsolebrosxX]

I've seen the Joust two player pinball and played it, I've played Baby Pac Man (found out bout it thanks to you) but I've never seena cocktail pinball table, how interesting (:

[@geekhype]

Hell yeah! John's Arcade FTW! Welcome back dude!

[@TheManofDew]

World Cup is a great pin. Love playing the physical machine but also like it on Pinball Arcade.

[@quadrant2005]

Ive missed your videos John regards Richard in the UK..

[@markmitchell8390]

Good to see you back!

[@HowieFunk]

I need an old Coney island backglass!!!! Like bad!!!!

[@Duke_Togo_G13]

I am so happy to see you back on my notifications. I really missed your channel.

[@arcadesunday4592]

The place looks pretty damn cool. Very good walk though. I wish them luck in their business endeavors. Damn C-19... Anyway, thanks for the video! Highly enjoyable (per usual).

[@evilash570]

Great episode!!!!!!!!

[@eastofthebigchicken438]

JOHN!!! So happy to have you back!

[@grimisti14]

And now John is back, 2020 keeps giving !

[@commandtheline]

hotd2 uses inferred camera tracking, so theoretically you could use LCD. Also, I have had issues with degauss on the factory monitor (sticking on/off like a bad switch or relay on the chassis). Nanao monitors, like most japanese monitors have external button/switch for degauss. I have a HOTD2 as well.

[@loganjorgensen]

That is kind of funny, I guess they were going for a relaxed look on the people but they look stoned lol. Yeah damn Covid, I was planning to try out a barcade for my first time just before the pandemic. Fun stuff, I love looking over all the art and details of pinball. :D

[@hw5091]

John! 2 vid's in a week! God damn! Love having you back, need to get back in the arcade myself, miss it!

[@memyopinionsche6610]

Play Stern Deadpool. It also uses a lot of Williams joust robotron and defender sounds.

[@johnsweda2999]

I would have thought any computer motherboard of the period should work for Golden tea, I've got a gateway 2000 is about the same period motherboard process If it would work he can have it

[@johnsweda2999]

Could Be run capacitor on the air conditioning John, is the motor not turning then it's more likely the capacitor get a replacement

[@practicemakesdecent3732]

Scoots has a Genie right? Thought you'd mention that, first pin looked at 😉.

[@thenostalgiabusiness]

John, the flying lion is a manticore, which is a creature from Greek myth.

[@Andronicus87]

I thought the Manticore had a human face though.... I was thinking Chimera but it doesn't have the goats head.... Manticores also do not have bird legs. I dunno wtf that thing is.

[@MrHarney]

Happy your back John

[@HelloKittyFanMan.]

Haha, 1:14:34: "What is it? Ninety... ninety...?" -- "Ninety-four...!" * Points right past DMD with a big bright 94 on it at the moment to a tiny little hardly noticeable 94 on a sticker! :-D

[@GLOATINGMAPLE01]

Do you still have that pacman machine you restored back in 2013

[@PoisonPinball]

JOHN OMG YOU ARE BACK? WE'VE MISSED YOU JOHN

[@angelpablocostello9971]

The first game flashing is Galaxy from Stern.

[@Price-qd1cd]

You’re the best!Videos again!

[@markc871]

The letter about the monitor only showing red with lines....that looks like an issue with the red amplifier transistor in the monitor to me. I’d try replacing it.

[@MarcoMugnatto]

This opening really gives you instant 80s arcade vibes

[@TubbyJ420]

Wipeout! its nice to see that one again. There was one in my city's downtown arcade, but they had to close when the restaurant next door burned down & their building was too damaged :(

[@suprunown]

YAY! You're back!

[@neon_one]

Awesome I was just wondering if they made new machines like 2 days ago. It's very odd that this was suggested actually... I'm glad you played willy wonka neat to see newer machine in action I don't understand why I haven't seen most of these but had seen most of the game in pinball arcade pre season 5. I'd want to own bride of pinbot and terminator 2

[@terryttx]

Yeeesssssss!!!! Finally is up!

[@MelonHead_Arcades]

Did you sale the journey cabinet??
