Wish the camera guy would stop interruption. Let the man do his thing, he knows what he's doing.

[@AdamDIY]

Nice! I'll get the popcorn. You have been missed.

[@MNIKING]

Thank you very much for this video. With your help I was able to move my late father's Eight Ball Deluxe from his old home to my home. Couldn't have done this without your video, thanks so much. -Jason

[@Pinballroomcville]

Shots Fired! This is as exciting as Biggie and Tupac’s feud!

[@PixPete]

Great to have tech tips back, good episode! Good tip for newbies on the backglass lock, I've had backglasses fall out of the head and smash before due to faulty or missing locks. Needless to say ever since then I've made sure never to tip the head without making sure the backglass and DMD panel are secure!

[@dleasman]

Another great video! I learned a couple new things about the older machines.

[@johnsobery]

Great stuff as always, keep up the good work!

[@rarecoolitems]

Great video Great to watch - best thing on my TV tonight :)

[@renegarcia8052]

Love your channel you guys are the best! gentlemen and scholars!

[@GRCPinballOfficial]

Chime in on our latest adventure? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aX2bemaCgJdnac0

[@cards2599]

Great to have you back with a new video. Suggestion for the future.....maybe a quick video of replacing a magnet core for some of the newer games with magnets on the playfield. They get beat up so fast, they need changed often. Keep up the great work......good to see you again.

[@markmodray7698]

Thanks for the video guys! So nice to have you back! I am so glad that you stress the importance of having 2 people to move a machine. How do you guys move the machines around the store? do you have one of those hydraulic table things? I made a couple of really simple devices for moving my machines around. They are basically a piece of plywood with small casters mounted to the bottom edge, and the plywood is cut a little longer than the distance to the floor. I place the plywood under the machine against the legs at the top, then push the bottom in until it is against the leg, and secure with a clamp. This raises the machine off the floor, so that it can be rolled easily on the casters. I will send a pic when I get a minute. Thanks again, and keep those videos coming!

[@Firecatten]

Great work! Can't stop watching... :-)

[@Zeus-mo8et]

Nice one guys looking forward to the new series.

[@GRCPinballOfficial]

You & at least 3 other people! ;)

[@Topesio66]

You and at lest 4 other, but I'm sure more!

[@PinBiohazard]

10/10 will recommend to do!

[@thedrip109]

Thank you!

[@scottclark7592]

what uncle doug is to amps- ray is to pinball!

[@CHKNz]

NIce video!!!

[@dleasman]

I can't remember if I posted this on another one of your videos, but would you consider an episode on playfield magnets (like on WCS) and/or pop out hold rebuilds/adjustments, or how to "aim" them. If you have already covered these topics, then disregard.

[@fettdude2039]

Dude behind the camera comes across as quite 'abrupt', possibly on the verge of 'rude' to me but great video and tips, thanks!

[@lunasmovingcompanymovingst6152]

The old man has a lot of patience.

[@stevenk6977]

NO TODDWURK and NO CANCELING ....... Just tell us where to send the cases of beer for you boys..

[@aransom808]

That machine sure opens up easier than my hobbit >__

[@johnsobery]

As a curiosity, can you change out the bolts to the cams system on an older game? Would it add value or make a pin more stable? I would consider it an upgrade or update such as changing out lights to LEDs, somebody else might not like it, but it makes it last longer. Just interested in your thoughts..

[@GRCPinballOfficial]

Thinking no sir. Cabinet would need significant retrofitting with no real benefit. Factory head bolts installed are sufficient. Still wondering if you're that guy! ;)

[@johnsobery]

+GRC Pinball Official good to know, I guess the only reason to do it is if the head unit was significantly damaged, but then again, it goes into if it's worth it. Great answer! Love your stuff.

[@PinBallReviewerRepairs]

Any awards been made for GRC? Ahem points to myself uh yes, I believe I was the first one to do an official award for you guys. :P I believe it came broken which was a fail on my part for not soldering better or packing it better. It kind of fell to pieces but seem to have got everything back in it's place. xD Gasp there is dirt on the button of that cab. Heheh I should talk though I usually skip the buttom for cleaning as well. ;)

[@GRCPinballOfficial]

Dirt?? Where!??! MGoW has NEW flipper buttons & MAT did a tear-down cleaning on the coin door! Johnny has new buttons too! Oh... You mean "bottom"? What... there's no gum there! Are you suggesting.... dunno what your expectations are for the underside sir....

[@PinBallReviewerRepairs]

+GRC Pinball Official There were just some grey spots under the Mars cab but no one sees that so no biggie. I spot crap all the time in pin vids and same with machines I get in here. They are all trash bins. ;)

[@GRCPinballOfficial]

Don't hold it against you PBR. We spy filth hiding wherever it hides. It simply cannot go unnoticed.

[@PinBallReviewerRepairs]

I cannot help myself in this kind of situation. I point out stuff on pretty much any ones pin vids. And even I have missed stuff initially myself just cannot get it all the first go around for some off the more cake frosted pins. And cake frosting is something I made up for a pin that is dirty all around. :)

[@PinBallReviewerRepairs]

So is Season 4 going to end with this one? The seasons seem to get shorter and shorter. ;) At least it is good to see something from GRC! :)

[@GRCPinballOfficial]

[@RetroRefurbs]

Hate it when previous owners strip the the leg plates and put nuts on the leg bolts! The plates aren't too hard to change if you do one at a time, as the game should be able to stand steadily on 3 legs.

[@pin-monkeypinball3548]

I love your videos she they're very helpful but just an observation, man you interrupt Ray a lot lol. Not being condescending, just an observation. ❤️

[@TheRetroRedneck]

What is the song playing at the start of the video?

[@GRCPinballOfficial]

The Fiery Furnace ~ Ethan Meixsell. From the YT freebie catalog.

[@Firecatten]

Matt!!!! Please play Hobbit on 1.21. I want to see you play Into The Fire multiball! 👍🏻🙏👍🏻🙏👍🏻

[@GRCPinballOfficial]

We had the 1.2 beta code. We doubt there is any noticeable differences to 1.21... Into The Fire kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZzIpGhticuUrNUm40s

[@Firecatten]

+GRC Pinball Official Sorry, my bad. Must have missed it when I watched it. ( not that I fell asleep or anything 😄) There are some cool audio stingers and callouts added in 1.21 that makes ITF MB more intense! Anyway, I love that you and Ray are uploading videos. I learn something every time. 👍🏻 thx

[@GRCPinballOfficial]

We're just glad you watch & comment! :)

[@gauge6513]

why doesn't Ray teach? It will be sad when he's gone.

[@GRCPinballOfficial]

He teaches Mike sometimes but otherwise they are both busy doing other things that "pay the bills."

[@DNA2000-8bit]

hmm...

[@user-bv6ff5ov8u]

What's 9 plus ten lolol

[@ryfree3101]

Prepare, before. Or, edit, later. You can do better. Good basic information resource. The banter, not so much. Favor, please? Edit this video so an elderly, disabled, short, blonde, rural white woman can comprehend/use it. I am solo w/a Tacoma and need to move my '90''s pinball. That includes up concrete steps at a mid-century home. The front door will be removed to access the new spot. It's 2022 0705. I have one week to figure this out. Suggestions?

[@davidwiniger3799]

Would be nice if you guys were on the same page at least once...painful to listen to...sorry.

[@GRCPinballOfficial]

David Winiger ...imagine if you had something better to do...troll...sorry.
