One of the best looking KISS pins i've seen in a long time.

[@LyonsArcade]

Yeah it's the best one we've had.

[@juanvaldez3806]

Theses old machines... works of art.

[@LyonsArcade]

Definitely!

[@RodsPinballVideos]

The serial is actually EKI 6885 E for Electronic. KI for kiss as they used the first 2 letters of the game title. Then the number 6885. They started the run at 1001 Such a great looking game. That one is in amazing original condition!

[@LyonsArcade]

Thanks Rod! Yeah, we had it in a few weeks ago and when I put the video up yesterday it kind of shocked me that it looked even better on film :)

[@carymar]

Man, the memories that brings back. My dad bought one for me for my 18th birthday in 1985. Relocated out of state for what I thought would be a temporary time, and had a friend hold on to it. It ended up shorting our and lost power. He tossed it. I would kill to have it back in any condition.

[@InMyHead]

OH MY GOD what an beautiful specimen of a KISS Pinball machine! WOW This was before I discovered you guys.

[@LyonsArcade]

This one was pretty nice!

[@afattori316]

Picking up my first pinball machine tomorrow and its a restored 1978 KISS Pinball! Can't wait! Thanks for the great video. I am more excited now after watching the video.

[@LyonsArcade]

Very cool man, yeah it's a really iconic machine!

[@francescogallego]

How much did you pay for it?

[@shadowninja1474]

I remember standing on a milk crate at the arcade playing this when I was nine years old. Brings back memories!!!!👍

[@Paulywint]

I played this game back in 1982 at a bar my mother and step-father stopped at on a regular basis since we were friends with the owners, and always did great on the game, and they only had it for 2-3 weeks then the vendor exchanged it with another pinball game

[@LyonsArcade]

Shame they swapped it so quickly!

[@BIGMIKE360AMUSEMENTS]

This one and Harlem Globetrotters on Tour is my favorite pinball machine

[@bradpalmer2914]

That's a beautiful machine, great video. I remember spending waaay too much on playing this. Thanks man

[@shermanikk]

18:53 hot damn those are some snappy pop bumpers! look at em go!

[@LyonsArcade]

Man we rebuilt them and they were TIGHT, when there's four of them like that those things will go crazy!

[@shermanikk]

[@guillaumerenou4188]

I like it and the sound of the train passing by

[@LyonsArcade]

Thank you for watching Guillaume :) We appreciate it!

[@makieernandez2919]

My parents and me are huge fans of kiSS for years now I first play kiss pinball was on play station

[@LyonsArcade]

That game on the Playstation was a classic!

[@jeopardy60611]

I played this on a cruise ship, as well as a store in Lake Worth, FL, back in 1979

[@LyonsArcade]

Very cool! That's neat they had them on cruise ships....

[@jeopardy60611]

@@LyonsArcade The problem with playing pinball on a cruise ship is that while the boat is in motion, it is likely to tilt the machine. I recall that the ship had Crash, Night Driver, and Atari Starship I, which were video games, and those were better to play on a moving ship. The ship had, in addition to KISS, another pinball machine called Piranha.

[@dataquester]

Played this machine until my fingers bled.. when you lose it plays shout it shout it shout it out loud... Heard that too many times.. And when you put that quarter in it would play I'm going to rock and roll all night

[@KingSizeDump714]

"Shout It Out Loud" is the game over song.

[@LyonsArcade]

Thanks Garrett!

[@KingSizeDump714]

@@LyonsArcade You're welcome!

[@russellj.s.257]

First time I saw this awesome machine was in Orlando, Florida in 1992 when I was 14. At that time I only saw KISS on MTV when they already had taken off the make up and Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer we're in the band.

[@LyonsArcade]

I remember seeing Gene on his reality t.v. show but I didn't have too much exposure to them before that. I missed the whole KISS thing, but i'm getting more into it now later in life. Thanks for watching Russell!!

[@russellj.s.257]

@@LyonsArcade no problem,keep making videos like this. I love this stuff,thank you.

[@russellj.s.257]

@@LyonsArcade I also own a Star Explorer pinball machine I've have since I was four years old and it still works. Mom and Dad think I should part with it,I think not.

[@joealberti8553]

Great machine Ron! I know you like to set the machines to three balls a game, but the only time I ever saw a machine in the wild set that way was at the 7-11, when they had a pinball machine. All the other arcades and bowling alleys I played pinball at had them set to five balls a game. I used to have two pinballs, a Bally Captain Fantastic, and a Williams Aztec. I had to let them go when I relocated to the west coast for a job transfer. I miss them.

[@carlospalacios9647]

Wow!!!! This kiss pinball machine looks Great!!! I wonder for how much you'll Sell it in the future, or maybe never just to keep it as memorabilia, either way, thanks for showing this beautiful machine!!!!👍😎👍

If i remember correctly, i had a PSX game called KISS Pinball, boy the memories (Not the Pinball table, the PSX game i was talking about)

[@LyonsArcade]

Yeah we get it in from time to time, I think it's sitting on the shelf right now.

[@zigzag9370]

Love this

[@LyonsArcade]

Thanks Zig Zag!

[@BRIANOCONNOR2003]

That pinball machine appears in the movie Detroit Rock City (1999)

[@stevepearson7745]

Beautiful machine

[@LyonsArcade]

Thanks Steve... yes it was very nice!

[@geoffsykes8989]

Great video as always!

[@frootsaled1065]

I liked one of this KISS songs: I was made for Loving you

[@LyonsArcade]

That's a good one :)

[@per-olaeriksson2589]

That is a great pinball game , Looks very nice.

[@darrenxw3495]

Hi there!! Ohhhh wow what a pinny! You make me laugh when you play these,I'll just play a couple of games to show you.........oh the last game has to be a good one so just one more lol that's exactly what I would do. I think the best was when it took you 2 hours to get a multi ball happening. Love your work!!

[@LyonsArcade]

Ha thanks Darren, glad you enjoy them. I try to make them fun for people because I know they'll likely be up for a LONG time on KZbin :) We'll see you on the next video, we appreciate you watching!

[@timothywatson607]

No sir,that back glass is off of NONE of their album covers...

[@aqacefan]

Timothy Watson Correct. It's the costumes and stage from the Love Gun tour. I once read a quote, attributed to Paul Stanley, where the back glass art went back a few times because he and Gene Simmons never thought their muscles were big enough!

[@spyrothehuman]

i think people think its the destroyer album art

[@kmart0017]

Bally Playboy was licensed and made about a year before KISS. In Bally EMs there is Capt. Fantastic and maybe others.

[@LyonsArcade]

Yup, and Evel Knievel, Bobby Orr's Power Play, and The Six Million Dollar Man!

[@akamuu]

The dude with the Whiskers is "Peter Chris"

[@LyonsArcade]

My buddy on here "in my head" is going to be mad at me for messing that one up!

[@BIGMIKE360AMUSEMENTS]

Will you deliver to Nashville, Tennessee? I’m looking for Harlem Globetrotters on Tour pinball machine, Playboy Pinball machine,

[@jacobprocee8403]

Really nice video and good review!! Just bought one for myself and really happy with it. Almost as good as this one :-)

[@LyonsArcade]

Very cool Jacob, it's a great game! Thanks for watching!

[@ocsrc]

I hear the train in the background. Do you do anything with model trains ? There is a loyal group of train fans who monitor the ATCS ( Automated Train Control System ) that some railroad companies transmit data over the air, replaces the old wires that used to run along the trackside on telephone poles. I used to monitor parts of the D&H in upstate NY and had a server running to feed the data to other rail fans to monitor the ATCS The Harrisburg PA and Reading PA area has a lot of loyal ham radio clubs that provide feeds and servers and several bed and breakfast and dinners have displays in their businesses showing the live data. You might want to look into it I would have to look and see if your area has coverage already If it does, it would only require a small PC and monitor to display your rail traffic on your local rails There is a group ATCSmon , used to be on Yahoo, I think they are now on .io Yahoo shut down their groups last year. But it is free software and once installed and configured, it just runs without any user intervention. It is cool to watch and you could have a monitor on the wall showing it running. If you do anything with model trains, or know any business that does, it is a great addition.

[@LyonsArcade]

That's pretty cool, I had never heard of anything like that but it makes sense. There are several railroad tracks in the area, it would probably look pretty good locally since the trains run often....

[@ocsrc]

@@LyonsArcade I looked at Google Earth and the tracks look to be Norfolk southern They should be on the air the atcs frequency they used up in New York was channel 5 and I think they use that for their entire East coast system where they own the tracks If you have a scanner try listening on 897.9375 and 936.9375 The first frequency is the control point wayside devices and the second frequency is the base tower talking to the control point wayside devices The second frequency is much more powerful and easier to pick up I'll have to take a look and see if there is a server for that area and if there are any monitoring stations There are six pairs of ATCS frequencies If you scan from 935 MHz to 937 MHz, you should hear the BCP frequency Each controlpoint sends a signal every minute, and it sounds like a digital chirp when a train is going through the control points talk much more often so you can get almost continuous digital transmissions but when I get a chance I'll look up the information for that track and find out if it is monitored by the group

[@jeopardy60611]

What is the song that this machine plays when you first boot it up? I have been wondering that since 1979. I know it plays "I Wanna Rock & Roll All Night" when you start it.

[@jeopardy60611]

Joe's Classic Video Games I’m checking it out now, and I do hear the phrase “Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud.” But I’m still curious about which KISS song is played when you first power up the machine.

[@LyonsArcade]

The flyer says it only plays 2 KISS songs, so if it plays something different when you power it up it's probably just a random song the other games play. You may have to wait another 40 years to figure out the name of it :)

[@francescogallego]

This game would have been cooler if the bumpers had bells instead of the electric caps or whatever.

[@downboys]

1979

[@franciscoproductionsandmor4806]

kiss is a legendary rock band,but led zeppelin is better.

[@aqacefan]

francisco productions and more If not for Led Zeppelin (and The Beatles) there would have been no KISS.

[@Don-pm7mw]

francisco productions and more so do you still like kiss? Because I think Led Zeppelin and kiss are both great band
