Really Cool and that back glass Very cool

[@1dave301]

The birds are singing, "On the tree where we live". It's a variation of the song title "On the Street Where You Live" from the actual musical My Fair Lady . (I googled it)

[@naytch2003]

The rain in Spain..falls mainly on my brain 🧠 😁

[@duffysarcade412]

Very interesting description about the blind pinball fan...I had never considered that blind folks would listen to the videos. So awesome that your videos are able to be enjoyed by him as well!

[@MRNBricks]

I bought a Mayfair of a guy in Dallas a couple years ago. He was a D!c if you catch my drift. But I got that and a Little Chief off him. They’re still in the restoration queue. I may have to pull it out after watching this!!

[@LyonsArcade]

I like these 60's games man they're classy.... real equisite stuff you know what I mean

[@SirRandom]

The guy with the buttons on his hat and coat was known as a Pearly King, they sewed pearl buttons on black clothes and there are still Pearly Kings and Queens in London today.

[@kellingc]

Song titles from "My Fair Lady" mentioned on the back glass - "Get Me to thee Church on Time", "On the Street Where You Live" (The birds are parading it with On the Tree Where We Live, and "I could've Danced All Night".

[@markjackson1444]

In George St Sydney in the 60s there was the famous “Crystal Palace”. This establishment had over 20 full sized snooker tables, bingos and pinball machines. This great Gottlieb was there. … It’s interesting to me that “On the Street Where You Live” is referenced on this backglass, and it was also referenced in the long, outstanding song called “Murder Most Foul” by Bob Dylan. The movie had such an impact on society that it is mentioned in 1965 here, and in approx 2017 by Bob. So, the references span over 50 years. … The Street Where You Live is still part of our collective thinking. For style, this machine is wonderful. It’s the last pinball art by the mighty Roy Parker and is a fitting bookend to the career of pinball’s greatest ever artist. Simply wonderful, even when it doesn’t work. Thanks for posting Ronnie.

[@LyonsArcade]

Thank you for watching Mark, this is Gottlieb's best era in my opinion, a lot of people don't really get into these late 60's games as much though but I really like them.

[@yuwish6320]

That fuse... I actually face-palmed. As soon as I saw it, I knew what was coming next. "Come on, people."

[@LyonsArcade]

Crazy!

[@saskia6750]

ankle boots..What a beautiful game..thank you guys for filming for us x

Go-Go Boots was what I thought of......... Nancy Sinatra style.

[@zyxxy]

"I could have danced all night" and "get me to the church on time" are also from the Musical "My Fair lady" Mayfair is an expensive area in London and the highest value property in the British version of Monopoly.

[@LyonsArcade]

Thank you Zyxxy

[@leslieschramm6252]

There's a lot of the characters and the songs from My Fair Lady on that machine. Guess it was flavour of the week. Good fun. Mayfair is a posh street in London though.

[@Cool_Retro]

If I remember correctly this game came with 2" flippers not 3". There is also a small bumper missing next to the right flipper.

[@Bob-sd7qr]

Beautiful game, and definitely a major nod to My Fair Lady, (one of my favorites.) The main guy on the left I believe represents Eliza Doolittle's dad who sang "Get me to the church on time." It's definitely has the flavor of Covent Gardens from the movie /play.

[@LyonsArcade]

I've never watched it, i'll have to check it out.

[@Bob-sd7qr]

@@LyonsArcade You seem to have a great ability to appreciate things for what they are and when they were so you might like the movie. Thanks again for all the great videos!

[@iwb316]

The main guy (bottom right) is a Pearlie (pearly kings and queens), their clothes are decorated with mother-of-pearl buttons.

[@garfo992e]

On the street where you live and get me to the church on time are songs from the movie My fair lady

[@naytch2003]

Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison were in that movie I think 🤔

[@mcpozzm6321]

Mayfair was the poshest area of London, the setting for the musical.

[@LyonsArcade]

Thank you Gary, i've never seen that movie. I might have to give it a watch

[@graemerigg4029]

The guy on the left is Eliza Doolittle's father. The note on his hat is his song from the musical,

[@wheelersperformance9298]

I have one of these! I just finished tuning it up. I watched all your Gottlieb videos for assistance. The most time spent was on the backglass. So many different colors and minute details. It was so bad that some spots I had to just scrape a section at a time and repaint. then I had to come up with the right colors and the white It is not really white , is it? after triple thick and touch up I sprayed the entire back with white. Playfield was surprisingly good. This was the first pinball I bought back in 1987. This is the third time I "tuned" it up. Thanks

[@douro20]

I believe the yellow on the metal is the the result of chromate conversion coating. It's a process where an acidified dichromate solution is used to create a protective layer of metal chromates on the surface of the metal. It is typically done on top of zinc or cadmium plating and the result is an extremely durable finish.

[@LyonsArcade]

Thank you douro!

[@DeadKoby]

The space invaders clock is a perfect fit for your business........fun stuff. Some day I may just get a vintage pinball and work on it. I took on a 1961 Seeburg Jukebox (knowing only about tube amps)... and the mechanical/selector/tormat system was a whole big adventure. Thank heavens someone filmed some tech DVD's on tormats... as reading the service manual was difficult. The biggest problem I had was the parts/sections all had names, but being a rookie, they needed a Picture/Name page so I know what THING there were talking about. I'm certain that your videos will DRAMATICALLY help rookies, and inspire those with a technical "knack" to learn a new skill. Heck, I can't believe that my little youtube channel has inspired people to build/fix stuff all over the globe. For those of us who are visual learners.......videos like this are the ticket to success.

[@LyonsArcade]

The Seeburgs are the hardest to work on, not really because they're more problematic but because they're more 'sophisticated'.... they're just a more incredible machine.

[@chipholland9]

LR-44's - also used in cat toy laser pointers!

[@LyonsArcade]

ahhhhh!

[@justlookin20101]

The fellow on the playfield,his jacket/tails could be a velvet material as to the two colours.

[@zyxxy]

I hope you replace the Frankenstein Flippers on this one with original size ones - unless of course the customer wants the oversized ones because "people" it's a business and the customer is always right (even when they are wrong ;) ) 😃

[@LyonsArcade]

Yeah to be honest the customer wanted the big ones, I think it screws the game up but what can you do.... If it were mine, I'd definitely put the small ones on. People don't know what Nuance means :)

[@cloneofclark4374]

I can't wait till you get this one up and running. I find play fields with creative drain hole and flipper arrangement really interesting. I really liked seeing Spanish Eyes in action with its below the flippers pop bumper. Mayfair's kickers between the flippers setup reminds me of this. Be careful because the flippers are also drain holes like Spanish Eyes. Please film some play time with Mayfair. Good luck and don't get electrocuted. 🚫🔌🌩

[@LyonsArcade]

We're going to play a little bit of it but the problem is with those wheels on it it's impossible to set it up right (level, sloped)

[@davidewhite69]

flipper things I dont like on Pinball: non conventional flipper lay out, like this, Granada etc preventing combination skill shots, passing etc No slings above the flippers "zipper" flippers "banana" flippers

[@youbecha64]

As soon as you showed the fuse, I started laughing because I knew what you were going to say!

[@LyonsArcade]

come on people it's too short

[@grandpadado3267]

My fair lady came out Christmas day of 1964 with with Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison it got Academy Award so the game probably came out after that

[@LyonsArcade]

A little before my time but i'm going to have to watch it now!

[@AllanSitte]

That fuse had me laughing out of my chair. OMG. 🤣

This looks interesting. Thanks for the upload Ron and Joe!

Thank you Mike

[@davidhellmann4940]

A like for the blind guy 👍

[@pifflebunk]

As My Fair Lady was based in London, the guy in the bottom right would be a Pearly King.

[@LyonsArcade]

Thank you Rodney

[@Buckeystown]

Mayfair is a posh district in London. Buckingham Palace is next door. I spent a couple months working there a long time ago and drank at a pub around the corner from the apartment where Mama Cass from Mamas and Papas and The Who’s drummer Keith Moon both died, four years apart. Owned by Harry Nillson, he said it was cursed and sold it to The Who's Pete Townshend. Flat 12, 9 Curzon Place

[@blacquejacqueshellaque6373]

If you watch the movie "My Fair Lady" you might get some of the scene...like the song the birds are singing (on the street where you live) and the note in the hat (another song, get me to the church on time), and why the women are dressed the way they are (from the horse race scene). My Fair Lady came out in 1964, so was pretty hot when they made this game.

[@bigbow62]

I think the backglass is going back a few more decades from 1960 ( late 30s - 40s my guess ) Thank you for the video..✌️🙂

[@williamjensen8641]

My 1965 paradise has a hula girl in the backglass.

[@davidewhite69]

5:58 my take on that is a young man is attempting to woo the young lass and her parents looking out the window are giving them a warning to behave

[@meltysquirrel2919]

Nice of your brother to warn you about the Electroboom possibility 😕 Does he have insurance on you? 🤔😅 Love the art and the weirdly different cool layout - looks like a fun challenging game to play! 😃

[@spshc]

I believe the man covered in buttons is what they call a pearly. These are individuals that collected money for charity and the suit was just to draw attention to themselves.

[@cheeto4493]

60's version of "bedazzled"

[@LyonsArcade]

I've never seen that before (I'm from West Virginia :) )

[@_JellyDonut_]

Love the detail you gave about the backglass, what a beauty. That might actually be a 12 color silk screen. I think I see gray in there as well plus you've got a flesh color. Sometimes they'll do a while base layer and then a second white at the end to add highlights. Imagine getting 9 or 10 colors in and then realizing one of the colors is a little off. It's crazy how much work and skill would have gone into making something like that

[@LyonsArcade]

Yup, and I don't even know if any of it was automated, this is 1966.

[@naytch2003]

Yabba dabba doo..the king is gone..and so are you 👑 😉

[@dennislett7896]

Amazing i have a mayfair that i will be working on myself for a couple sometime this summer. I repaired their Seeburg DS160 for them a year ago now they want me to work on the mayfair. I got these items to work on from doing sewing machine repair for their customers.

[@dmtcb]

i had one of these...lot going on in the backglass...the guy with the cigar..is a theatre "barker"....i bet he owns the place..and is doin a street promo!!! ?

[@miniskunk]

Looks like they are trying to do My Fair Lady lookalike. The song titles on the backglass are from the film like Get Me to the Church on Time. The lady is wearing a dress similar to the one in the movie.

[@JonScaptura]

Such a simple fix for the shock issue. Whomever straightened out that backing plate on the coin door slam tilt switch should be slapped with a large trout. There's a reason why it was not straight to begin with.

[@gorillaau]

The fuse is an M205, when it should be a 5AG, both from memory.

[@MasatoKay]

That magic golden voice!

[@LyonsArcade]

You do have a nice speaking voice Masato!

[@kevtris]

those dresses remind me of 1960's scifi space suits for some reason. I think the blue and being shiny is why.

[@LyonsArcade]

Similar vibe :)

[@tectalabyss]

Interesting Machine Joe. I don't think I have ever seen one with the wide Flipper's Can't wait to see it working and you getting it there. As always Liked and shared. All my best.

[@scottgm321]

If you like the sound of Music, you will enjoy My Fair Lady. It’s a wonderful movie. The trivia behind it is interesting too. Producers rejected a new girl name Julie andrews to a familiar Audrey Hepburn who couldn’t sing . Andrews got picked up to play Mary Poppins and won best actress that year . Lol

[@naytch2003]

Nice Space Invaders clock..I have a Pac Man alarm clock

[@jasonsteverson4609]

Hey Ron!!

[@PlumGurly]

Well, watch battery devices often get both power connections on the button side. So for the back side of the battery, they usually connect to that using the rim of it. And I have mixed feelings about that configuration since it can be easy to bend the outer connection down toward the center contact. So you bend it too far down to where it cannot connect to the outside. That leaf often provides the tension for the battery to hold it in the socket, and it can get bent the wrong way and provide no electrical contact or mechanical tension. I've seen that happen in cheap watches.

[@crunchyfrog555]

I'm guessing the story behind this pinball is that they were either trying for the "My Fair Lady" licence, or were just skirting as close as they could to the law. Mayfair, after all, is very close in lettering.

[@LyonsArcade]

Back then they didn't really do licensing... I don't think (i'd have to look) there were any licensed pins before this. It was standard practice to just rip it off :)

[@crunchyfrog555]

@@LyonsArcade That's pretty much what I thought. It's curious isn't it?

[@frankgagliano9677]

Man Ronnie, looks like this one has a lot of problems. Can wait to see the next video. The skates are different a little strange but hay whatever works for the owner. Is there a reason why there is no one/off switch on those old games? Any idea what happened to the door? Thanks for filming see you on next video. Thanks Ronnie

[@waynegram8907]

JOES CLASSIC< What does those 75 ohm resistors do to the swinging Target flippers? I wonder why they used 75 ohm resistors for the flippers

[@wheelersperformance9298]

I wonder why too?

[@davidh6713]

I like the larger flippers that someone installed 😊

[@LyonsArcade]

Kind of ruins it in my opinion. If it were mine I'd definitely put the smaller ones back on, I don't know why people have to cheat at games to make them fun to them, very strange. If you never want to lose the ball just put rubber bands over the bottom, take the glass off, and play it with your thumb

[@irieman442]

Joe hit the nail on the head.... It's broke alright. The fuse thing is very odd. I would say a child did it, but use the right amp of fuse.. not a child.

[@LyonsArcade]

Somebody just trying to make something work :)

[@MrButtonpresser]

The guy with the buttons on his jacket and hat might be an English Pearly King. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearly_Kings_and_Queens

[@lisaryder1208]

Great machine. Always amazed by what was possible in EM machines. Always love the videos. Would heat shrink on the ends of the flipper rods future proof them? Maybe it would wear out eventually i guess. I suppose its not an issue if the switch is repaired. You have a great way of explaining how things work.

[@00Mandy00]

It's referring to My Fair Lady, without being obvious or uncool. Maybe to appeal to girls. It's kinda precious.

[@carlstanland5333]

Maybe if you lick your fingers and then press the buttons it might jump-start it.

[@gorillaau]

Yep, Ron, it's broke!

[@pcachu]

The way the buttons work on so many digital clocks is just remarkably unintuitive. I'm convinced it's so you'll use the manual to set them once and then never touch them again until you absolutely have to.

[@LyonsArcade]

Yeah, then you can't find the manual and throw it in trash, necessitating another purchase :)
