I'm on Vacation!

[@jakesteampson7043]

2:08 [insert three hour long essays from Alec over at Technology Connections]

[@DavidPlass]

Yup. One about bulbs, one about pinball machines and one about some obscure doohickey that was also invented by the invsntor of the pinball.

[@simonabunker]

Came here to say this!

[@cheeseparis1]

Insert also a binge watching session of Joe's Classic Video Games channel, he explains how the pinball logic works

[@shinedom]

Yaeh... the Tecnology Connection series about pinball Was very interesting ... we may expect a collaboration?😢❤

[@pixiesinc743]

​​@@DavidPlass and heat pumps, don't forget the heat pumps even if the painball doesn't have one hahahaha

[@rolfdc2934]

I would not have a problem if you dedicate a video to the restoration of a pinball machine.

[@TheRealRaddicalReggie-o9l]

Joes classic video games and overtime Arcade. Two wonderful pinball ( and arcade cab ) repair channels. Give them the support. Joes is working on a Marry shelly Frankenstin machine right now, crazy side art.

[@timradde4328]

@@TheRealRaddicalReggie-o9l Fascinating.

[@captainchaos3667]

Are you aware of the channel Technology Connections?

[@BustaHymen]

​@@captainchaos3667 My thought exactly :) The jukebox series is also pretty neat.

[@pinfarmer]

He needs a challenge. How about restoring a massively complicated bally bingo EM. Too bad it wouldn't be fun to play afterwards...

[@migry]

Have a great time with your family, and thank you for ALL your amazing videos. Colour me totally impressed with your restoration talent!

[@RSkala100]

As an EM pinball owner myself, love the sounds the relays and bells make.

[@ToTheGAMES]

I immediately thought of an old telephone exchange!

[@TechTimeTraveller]

We had a Bobby Orr pinball machine when I was a kid. Don't remember what exactly inspired my Dad to buy it as he wasn't the type to splurge on that sort of thing. We played the crap out of it. Sadly my Dad was offered a trade of the machine towards new flooring in the basement where it was located, and he took it. They're pretty amazing machines and impressively durable!

[@madeline_alice]

what a cool video! thanks for sharing it. when i was growing up my dad worked for an amusement company and was always fixing pinball machines. at home i always had pinballs to play with. my dad made me a slide out of a discarded mini-bowling game. it was super-slick! i also had one of those horse rides as well.

[@cheeseparis1]

Enjoy your well deserved vacation! Thanks for your videos

[@myleft9397]

Great video! I love old pinballs! Safe travels.

[@paulodagraca3469]

We all know you deserve this break. God bless all of you, and have fun!

[@RobertGallop]

Nice to see you taking some time, good for you!

[@jlforester]

I really enjoyed getting the chance to meet you at the Large Scale Systems Museum fundraiser event on Friday. Enjoy your time in Pittsburgh!

[@rjy8960]

While it's on its own, that Bendix is thinking of ways to flummox you as we speak! Have a great break and look forward to your next video :)

[@RinoaL]

I'm glad you didn't waste much time with filming during your vacation! This reminds me of the two pinball machines I dug out of a flooded basement. I hope I can get those two big bins of components back from my workshop and get them working again.

[@shawnerz98]

Good luck. I don't know the make or the model of your machines. But you might want to check out Technology Connections "The Wires Do The Math" episodes to see what you might be up against. Wow.

[@richfiles]

Pinball with kiddos and the pupper... What more chill time could you ask for! Glad you're enjoying some down time!

[@BrokeDad1]

Enjoy yourself and family. I used to have a few more but have paired down to 3 pinball machines that I've restored.

[@revengefrommars]

That poor Aladdin's Castle cabinet could use a repaint. I didn't look, but there may be stencils available online. I repainted a Capt. Fantastic cabinet which was about as bad, and while it didn't turn out perfect, it looked so much better than before.

[@ChristopherHailey]

I played a lot of pinball back in the 70s,i was a fan of the Gottlieb machines. EM machines are amazing. Enjoy the vacation

[@robjw66111]

what a classic collection, you still find ones like this i bits of southern europe in small bars or resturants. they are great to play! I shold make space int he house ! lol.

[@RWBHere]

For kids, these machines were very efficient pocket money absorbers, so we didn't play on them very often. Always great fun when we could afford to try them out.

[@zaraak323i]

There was a Capt. Fantastic pinball machine in the bowling alley down the street from where I grew up. I spent many hours and quarters at that bowling alley!

[@heckelphon]

Keeping up regular posting even when you're on vacation is real DEDICATION! Ah, how I can remember time -wasted- *purposefully spent* playing pinball .... Looking forward to the next Centurion cohort of refurbs

[@AndersNielsenAA]

Enjoy!

[@Oddzball3]

I love pinball stuff, im working on one right now

[@loginregional]

As they used to say on the Midway at the Canadian National Exhibition in Tronna, what we called the EX, "Doggie, doggie! Oh what a beautiful doggie! Doggie Doggie!". Here's to your sequencer. PROSIT!

[@darren6202]

What a beautiful family!

[@gregmark1688]

Well damn. I though the machines you have in your workshop are cool. I had no idea you had a Capt. Fantastic. Now I want to hate you. Or maybe I'll drive down from Dallas and play that beauty some time! :D

[@slicknick1213]

Life with Bally pins... endless socket and bulb tweaking.

[@ducksauz]

give that greyhouse all the love ❤🐶

[@wrkey]

I expect to you see at The Texas Pinball Festival on March 21st - 23rd!

[@TomFynn]

That's good parenting right there.

[@amanvasamantino5368]

Thank You

[@carstenfrandsen]

Have a nice holiday - you deserve it! And looking forward to you coming home - and work on the UE-1 :D

[@tommythorn]

Lovely, enjoy your vacation. A fellow pinhead, but my love goes to the 80-90'es (Williams especially). My home proudly features a 1996 Williams Junk Yard (a much underappreciated game IMO) with a crate of rare spare parts. I sure would like a 1997 Medieval Madness, but all versions are crazy expensive.

[@rustandmagic]

Have a great vacation! are there any pinball machines with vacuum tubes ? if not, maybe time for one... the rabbit at the end was weird though ;)

[@monchiabbad]

Much love to the family

[@senilyDeluxe]

Just had my 40th birthday this weekend and invited pretty much everyone I know over to our local pinball and arcade museum, they have 120 pins (from the 60s to machines that are less then a decade old) and 120 video arcades (from the 70s to the 00s)

[@andrewdunbar828]

I'm eagerly awaiting a pinball game on the Centurion.

[@TheHylianBatman]

This is the real purpose of life, you should be proud!

[@douglasmayherjr.5733]

Pretty cool video. Enjoy your time with family.

[@ahmad-murery]

How cute are these kids 🤗

[@LarixusSnydes]

They are lucky with such a great uncle.

[@ahmad-murery]

@@LarixusSnydes That's for sure, but David is also lucky to have them around

[@LarixusSnydes]

@@ahmad-murery Yes, sure :-)

[@EmperorKonstantine01]

Australia in the 70s we loved to hangout at the pinball/fish and chip parlor after school, crazy times their were 10c and 20c game balls, my favorite one was kiss (because of the popular band)

[@tebrown2131]

enjoy the time off. It's well deserved!

[@edmckay2424]

Enjoy - stay safe

[@kevincozens6837]

I really admire electromechanical devices from days gone by. All the operations worked out by hand. They are just an absolute marvel. Does the Capt. Fantastic pinball machine have anything to do with Elton John? Name used under licence perhaps?

[@icsamerica]

I've played Captain Fantastic at an arcade recently and it played way better than I expected.

[@wtfusernamecrap]

Awesome! Have a great time!

[@eboyd53]

Nice to set work aside and have some fun with family.

[@emilschw8924]

It feels more wholesome watching a kid play on a pinball machine than on any kind of fondleslab...

[@mikez104]

Welcome to Pittsburgh!

[@michaelturner4457]

I Believe the pinball terminology for the sequencer, is score motor.

[@rnelson]

Should you ever find yourself in Omaha NE, Hollywood Candy has a collection of over 60 restored pinball and arcade games. (Bring your quarters!)

[@vicroc4]

Pinball wizard, there has to be a twist~

Is that a Whippet at the end?

[@KeritechElectronics]

Man, I wish Jeri Ellsworth was there! Or Captain Fraaaaaaaan-tastic.

No, get back to the salt mines! Or like everyone else seems to think, a couple pinball restoration vids would be awesome.

Make a Centurian pinball!!

[@pjcnet]

No no no, you're not allowed vacations, expect a double length video next week to make up. Seriously, enjoy your hard earned break. PS: They've got so many complex parts it's amazing those old pinball machines worked at all.

[@djkraze5018]

What? No Pachinko?

[@Astinsan]

Do you like player machines? They are my favorite pinball machines.. Poorly maintained, you play as is.. its progression of skill makes them fun

[@kellingc]

I was going to joke and say I'd challenge you to say "Hellworld!" on boot up. But then I realized that's just stupid and not funny. Oh, well.

[@kaitlyn__L]

That looks like an awesome house, damn. I was always obsessed with pinball and my dad never understood! (One time in France, I spent half the time just in the hotel lobby because they had an Addams Family pinball. I didn't even know it was rare or well-regarded, it just played really good!) I like that Finn takes an interest in fixing the machines too. Does Evie ever play the pinball or the foosball?

[@Sven_Dongle]

In my day, we leaned our weight against them combined with flipper activation and imparted minute shifting of the machine to affect play. Just below the level of tilt indication.

[@jerroldbaker]

Enjoy!
