How It's Made - Pinball Machines

[@arcade_matt]

Please share this around to anyone that likes pinball! My editor and I put a ton of work into it! :D

[@wat3rdragon759]

Did you editor get the raise?

[@YoMyRawrJuanaGrrrRawr]

This is really good 🎉 OMG ❤ you and your crew made it a long way 💯 Thanks yo

[@WhyTrashEarth]

I got you bro.

[@charlesconnolly8435]

I'd say the simpsons one I actually owned a pinball machine as a kid i don't remember the theme of it but I still have it was definitely a loose.definition of one it didn't have a lot of blinking lights. Great video matt it looks very stressful just making a pinball machine.

[@Nightenstaff]

The Man Who Saved Pinball is a great piece of film. It's certainly worth a watch.

[@andysodyssey8174]

Matt I’ve been waiting for you to dive further into pinball. So heck yes you did an amazing job on this video. There are many over the yrs with stern tours but yours was far better than a lot out there. I had the chance a year past to play a tournament game of turtles with Tim sexton and he is an amazing dude among many at stern. Fun fact I just got a new in box rush premium this year I had waiting for me since it’s released. What a fun game dedicated to a band I love. Also Deadpool is awesome!!!

[@andysodyssey8174]

Oh and retro Ralph shouted you out on the triple drain podcast some days back as he talked about meeting you and how awesome that was . They shared your page so others in pinball could find you

[@WilliamPorygon]

Glad to see pinball getting some love on this channel!

[@chadmiller5149]

This was a great video! Pinball is one of my favorite games. I would play Space Pinball on the Desktop Computer after school! Thanks for sharing this insight into Pinball machines.

[@captaindj9790]

I love history. Thank you for posting this. And if I must say. I was a pretty good pinball player back In The day. Placing the balls I loved doing as a baseball pitcher

[@Krystalinn]

I visit with Stern Pinball every year when I go to San Diego Comic Con. They are always so nice, and they show me all the new things with their machines. If I ever get a place where I have enough space for a pinball machine I am absolutely getting a Stern.

[@arcade_matt]

Yea they're great! My Deadpool pin is still going strong 5+ years later!

[@joelggundam]

My how times have changed. In 2008 (ish), the Discovery Channel covered pinball (at Stern's old factory) in their "How It's Made" series and it was over 1/2 a mile worth of wiring in the machine back then. It's impressive that they were able to reduce it to 1/4 mile now. It's thanks to the node network system (aka the SPIKE hardware) that they were able to achieve this. Think of it as having multiple minicomputers in the machine and all of them are networked together via Ethernet cable.

[@arcade_matt]

Yup exactly, they said older machines are half a mile but now 1/4. Still alot of wires tho!

[@joelggundam]

@@arcade_matt You should see some of the fully loaded machines from the 90s. I just got a Data East Jurassic Park last month and the sheer amount of wiring in it is well over a half a mile.

[@Tubbylumpy]

Super cool video!!!! Favorite machine is Swords of Fury.

[@nerdknight111]

I'm a bit of a pinball nerd so this makes me giddy. Fond memories going to an old restaurant as a kid that had a Terminator 2 pinball machine and I would play it nonstop

[@Tehbestshot]

I love these videos. I still remember the one when you went to Baytek back in 2016-2017!

[@JaceTan-90]

This is probably one of your coolest documentary video ever. Hope your channel gets more subscribers for the most consistent KZbinr for at least 15 years.

[@ImNowJJL]

Another great video that shows us the “guts” of the machine. I love watching these multiple times. My favorite pinball machine has always been and will always be World Cup 94’.

[@kineticist]

very well done! great meeting you and hope your viewers enjoy this excellent pinball content

[@ShawnPhoenix]

Very cool! One of my favorite pinball cabinets was a Simpsons one - I've never even watched the Simpsons, but the skatepark I would often go to as a kid had the cabinet in the lobby that I'd play ever now and then. MEMORIES.

[@MXL2107]

Godzilla is honestly still p solid for me. Iron Maiden and Dr No also for modern Stern. Glad you are making pinball content. You are actually in the position to hit the new niche as one of the biggest pinball channels if you wanted. With Jack Danger retired you could definitely take his spot for content.

[@Jamestube8439]

As someone who enjoys playing pinball machines (hence my arcade channel Pinball Predator) this is absolutely amazing footage Matt! It’s really cool to see the tons of time and effort Stern goes through in the factory to assemble these amazing machines. Thank you for putting together this video to show the rest of us at home!

[@MrSilentcamo13]

Bro!!! Soooo jealous!! I love pinball machines, my favorite one is Aerosmith or the walking dead!! That’s crazy how much work goes into making one machine. Thanks for sharing this video!!

[@arcade_matt]

Glad you enjoyed! Both great pins too!

[@TheSpotify95]

Shame I don't have a pinball machine - after watching this, I'd certainly like to one day! Great behind the scenes video :)

[@wcorbee]

Love the behind the scenes look Matt. ❤

[@thunderfan77]

Finally more pinball content! Please add more pinball content

[@WhyTrashEarth]

This is a super cool video Matt! I would love more of these mini behind these scene videos! I will share the video with as many people as I can!

[@arcade_matt]

Thanks glad you enjoyed!

[@saraturpin6053]

I love the older pinball machines. But this is awesome to see how they are made. Thanks for sharing

[@icychill105]

This is cool, just spent yesterday at a pinball show playing the new john wick and i wish they would have used a gun grip launcher.

[@BrandonDayanan]

Super happy video Arcade Matt!

[@BradSnyder1]

I just love pinball! Thanks for giving us a tour on how pinball machines are made Matt!

[@alanmovielife]

That was a really great video. I was really surprised that the decals are attached so early in the process and how casually the workers do it. It was also great seeing a replay fx clip 👍🏻

[@arcade_matt]

Yea same I was shocked that was one of the first things!

[@ej5105]

Cool video Matt! It’d be fun to see you play and give pro tips some time!

[@cassieh4659]

I don't play pinball, but this was neat. I love how the company encourages the workers to play pinball on their break. Sounds like that would be fun. 😊

[@XJIcequeen]

This was a great video! Thanks for sharing

[@SJO1408]

Fascinating!! Cool vid! I'm about 45 minutes outside of Chicago in Northwest Indiana...gotta get up there to see the place!

[@purdue98]

I highly recommend going to pinball expo in Chicago in October. It’s tons of fun and you can play as much as you want.

[@CynMermaid]

Great video, Thank you, Matt!

[@maidoutfit]

This is so cool! I like this “how it’s made” style video. Would be cool to see other videos for arcade games too if that isn’t already planned

[@thomaswhitten468]

He made a video of how bay tech makes arcade games

[@maidoutfit]

@@thomaswhitten468 oh I’ll go check it out. Thank you for the heads-up!

[@thomaswhitten468]

@@maidoutfit no problem

[@Clawcoupleindia]

Woaahhh thats awesome Matt. Always like your videos and yes pinball brings alot of memories back.

[@nickwerner7983]

6:24 Nostalgia hit me at that moment

[@debbie_ri]

Love this style of video Matt!

[@NatePerMusic]

My favorite pinball machine is Bally's Twilight Zone. In my country in a local arcade (I'm not from the USA, I'm from Gibraltar), they have it but it's never been turned on for years. I really want to play that pinball machine so badly because it's a classic!

[@B.McAllister]

We need more "Arcade Matt's Arcade Matters." series.

[@Gavinia]

Super cool video, I really like this style of video. It must've been awesome to actually see these in person.

[@moozy3262]

Hook was always my favorite pinball machine growing up. I would love to find it again

[@MrMexgamer]

Cool seeing this content from you Matt!

[@olepigeon]

Funhouse & Bride of Pinbot are my two favorite pinballs of all time.

[@Yomikester]

Super interesting video, Matt!

[@MiamisburgJay]

That was interesting Matt :) Thanks

[@willcook6967]

This was great content. Very cool stuff.

[@malindan.9947]

Anyone remember the movie tilt. With Brooke Shields. Every time I see or play a Pinball machine, I think of that movie..

[@deenasmusicbox]

Favorite game of mine is the pinball machine! Talk about adrenaline rush, especially when you get those moves dialed in…awesome Matt!

[@arcade_matt]

I know its so satisfying!!

[@mikeruland4707]

Happy Sunday, Matt 🎉 Thank you for this very interesting video. I've always wondered how they build pinball machines. Great content keep up the awesome work!!

[@ThomasConnolly]

There was a local old school arcade in the town next to mine when I was a kid in the early-mid 1990s, and they had a pinball machine that I fell in love with👍 That pinball machine was "Twilight Zone" (Bally, 1993)🙏 Unfortunately in 1999 that arcade permanently closed😞 As a young kid my parents exposed me to the original Twilight Zone tv show, and to this days The Twilight Zone is one of my all-time favorite tv shows. Every year, I love watching the New Year's Eve Twilight Zone marathon on the Sci-Fi network👍 In 2019, a small retro themed arcade opened in the town next to me, and in 2021 they got an original mint condition Twilight Zone pinball machine😁 I go there at least twice a month to play me beloved Twilight Zone pinball🙏

[@OscarvanDriel]

Nice to see a pinball video from you.

[@Jook51]

Well done Matt! Keep spreading the pinball word 👏👏👏

[@drios97]

I feel like Matt had more fun filming this video than he did publishing it. He had to have been amazed by what he learned behind the scenes.

[@elliejaynebowman2539]

I’m not a pinball fan. However, in the UK I went to this gaming warehouse place. Had lots of classic video games and lots of pinball too. I fell in love with the Addams Family machine. Played it for quite a while. Really enjoyed it. :) Really interesting video Matt. 😊

[@daniellejach5882]

I do like spin balls but I don’t know which one is my favorite.I play the spider man one,Scooby-Doo one and I also play the simp one. I live in suburbs of Chicago,Illinois.

[@fidelchavezjr6629]

Medieval Madness was my top favorite for so long.... till Godzilla arrived! Love that table 🤩

[@JB3779MC]

One of my favorite pinball machines has always been PinBot.

[@Mr-Mojo92]

This is beautifully done. Excellent thumbnail and great content.

[@kayleybennett894]

Wasn't sure I'd like this video , but you know what I loved it, love this style video like seeing how stuffs made its really interesting, great video matt ❤

[@arcade_matt]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Tomthepolarbearfromnunavut]

How it’s made: Matt edition

[@jcoolstar6762]

I'm friends with guys that supply pinballs to Australia and they own a place called beercade. Nearly all of the newer pinballs are the limited edition versions. They're getting John wick next month and I really can't wait to try it.

[@SnackCakes]

Dude you're in Chicago?! Are you still or is this an older video? I would love to shake your hand.

[@Slownick]

Medieval Madness is my all time favorite pinball game. Would love to own one sometime.

[@xilosms]

cool look behind the scenes

[@adammiddleton1984]

its so good the way they are made the people are so clever

[@vashoncannady3623]

These pinball machines are totally cool, because since in the 1970's, the judge has been overruled with different production companies as named is Robert Shark that who showed up in court to helping bringing a pinball machine.

[@Bovada-c3i]

Huh?

[@joelggundam]

Sharpe not Shark and it wasn't that dramatic. Some cities such as NYC, LA and Chicago banned pinball in the 40s due to the Pinball Parlors being tied to the Mafia and illegal gambling scene. Keep in mind that the rest of the state, where those cities are located in didn't have such bans. All Roger Sharpe did was prove to those cities that pinball was no longer a game of chance and is 100% skill. In other words, it's for amusement now and not under the table gambling.

[@lordzenchi]

At least a 50% raise!!!

[@paulburrow5853]

I recently played the Godzilla one, I think it was made by stern. It was the same model.

[@reds0l0cup50]

I don't play pinball much but this was fascinating!

[@paulyd2406]

I never knew about the banning of pinball back in the day until the court case overruled it! Looks like you iwe your editor a raise lol but seriously though This was Awesome! Excellent Work Mr. Matt 😃

[@julialogeman6026]

I won a bowl roller game got the 500 point on the first try thanks to watching your videos

[@Cueya]

Awesome pinball vid Matt, keep covering it

[@andrewgeorgelang]

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Nova Scotia Canada

[@kimberleyhoffman8621]

You should follow up with the Pinball Museum in Vegas that has some of those 30's Pinball games.

[@Reddcapp]

Collab with Jack Danger when??? We need that, it would heal the earth.

[@TTVKenny6428]

Freaking awesome

[@lucaspawprint1888]

I would love to be the guy at the end of the assembly line playtesting everything lol

Eeeeek! Welcome to Chicago Matt!

I love pinball.

very interesting video.

Hey man, i saw your machine at haven lakeland uk, its kinda hard because theres that arrow thing in the middle where you put the tokens in

[@Gibsongoson]

Pirates of the Caribbean

[@UAF1966]

Do you have any pinball machines?

[@joelggundam]

I know Matt has a Stern Deadpool. He has a second one, but he keeps on changing it apparently.

[@tianaluna1437]

Are you still in Chicago??? I think it would be so cool to see you!!!

[@arcade_matt]

No sorry this was almost a month ago.

[@johncase1353]

Wow never thought Matt would visit China.

[@m2pt5]

You should check out Technology Connections, he's been doing videos lately on an old Aztec pinball machine from the 70's, before there were computers in them at all.

[@joelggundam]

I saw those! The old electromechanical machines. They are a pain to go through, but once everything is dialed in they remain running rock solid for years.

[@allps3review]

thank you for the KZbin video Matt

[@havenjuliette8380]

See but this is why they should think about taking some of my ideas like making amazing digital circus one that would be fun because then every time you would have to get like the little figurines and it would definitely be like the gumball machine that I saw inside of a pet store called pet pet Paradise. I think it was called. But anyway, it was for pets. But they had an arcade in it. And I really love playing the pinball machine. Mostly because then you could get the bubblegum. But then I heard that someone got sick from that. So that’s why they shut down. That’s the only other thing I would ever spend my quarters on other than the fish food. But mostly just to feed the core fish. 🐠 they were always so pretty I wish they still had that place, but that’s OK because I’m still happy as a unicorn and also they should really think about making other ones like Robocar poly because then every time you would have to get a plushy from that one too I think it’d be really cute if they made a Jax toy from that one too but you were totally just end up with a random plushy from the Robo car poly one it would totally be worth it it would definitely be like a pinball claw machine. I wonder if they ever invented that one too, and even if they didn’t, then that would totally be cool too. Just to see one. Of those as well.

[@havenjuliette8380]

PS then they would have to put a bunch of different other random plushy, but only for the amazing digital Circus one too that I mentioned in the comment of plus I still just like helping leave cool comments to help pinball reach other people as well and also see if they would do really cute ones to make me say aw 🤹‍♀️🤌🤌🤌👍👆

[@chrisstep5738]

I hope while you were in town you went and visited Galloping Ghost Arcade and Pinball.

[@game_master_rukia]

can't think of the name of it but this restaurant we had back home had this table and i think it was from the 1940s or 1950s

[@kerry9360]

Would that be the official name of it then…..”The Dimple Machine”😂😂
