Chris is my uncle ^.^ he was so fun to grow up with. I'm glad you all like his work! He used to let me play in his garage/warehouse of arcade games ^.^

Saw Chris last weekend. Still the man

[@HeavyMetal82]

I met Chris a few years back, he he one of the few people in North America that can actually repair system 80B boards. He brought my pinball back to life :)

He fixed my machine,awesome guy

[@banjohead66]

Chris resurrected my machine -- he's top notch!

I got a chance to watch him work on a machine. He's an electro-mechanical engineering artist. Extremely fast, extremely knowledgeable, and able to explain what he's doing on the fly while maintaining an intense focus on the machine as a whole than just the problem on hand at the moment. And thanks for mentioning Sam's in Cameron Park! I used to work nearby and had a lot of pinball lunchtimes there.

My first date with my now wife was here in 2006.

[@eskaspit]

Wow what a knowledgeable and attractive group of people!

[@Utubereefer]

Pinball genius

[@dauvepictin950]

Ever work on a gottlieb big house with no speech and some targets missing sounds

[@The_Black_Knight]

The pinball community is still very small, we all know each other. Pinball survives because collectors keep it alive, not the manufacturers.

[@TheRealAbeFroman]

Great video! Is there a version where the music doesn't drown out what people are saying? 🙄

[@sawulski]

I know Chris's less attractive brother, Andy. Great guy. Big heart, mediocre hockey player.

[@charliebrown4035]

They are all kuntz

Quality is way down from what it once was. The sweaty guys on cocaine building these in the 70’s put our modern craftsman to shame.
