LOOK at the difference 35 hours will make! Before and After of a fun classic pinball machine from Bally! See the amazing things the TNT Amusements experts can do with these machines...Harlem Globetrotters is now 35 years old but boy, it looks nice!

[@SDPliskenisalive]

Saying "good job" on this one would be an understatement. If you didn't show a before video I don't think people would have believed what you started with. Top notch work right here.

[@tntamusements]

Thank you very much!!

[@DrClawizdead]

I had the good fortune of playing a Globetrotters the day it hit the floor in 1979 at Walt Disney World. A fantastic game!

[@tntamusements]

Yes...its got plenty of neat things considering its age!

[@CaryHardy]

Steve did an amazing job on the playfield and cabinet! The before shots and then the after is always a treat.

[@tntamusements]

Cary Hardy Thanks Cary! It turned out really good!

[@Rlotpir1972]

Brian May (Queen) played one of those Harlem Globetrotters pinball machine back in 1985 during their filming of the video, 'One Vision'.

[@tntamusements]

Great trivia Robert!

[@Petri547]

You guys have done top work to bring this pinball alive. Harlem Globetrotters is one of first pinballs,which I have played and I learned my first pinball lesson with it. It has double flippers on right side. I stopped the ball on lower and it drained. What a hard way to learn to play pinball. :)

[@tntamusements]

Petri547 Yes!! The "double flipper syndrome!" Glad you like what we do!!!

[@ScottParisi]

Incredible job. Wow. Makes me wonder if that one I saw in the warehouse last year is still there

[@jaredmorgs]

You see _this_ is a prime example why I subscribe to TNT Amusements. To see the "journey" of getting a pinball in such bad shape up to the high standards shown in this video. My mouth literally gaped wide when I saw the shocking state of the playfield and the pest infestation damage to the side rails. Just. Terrible. That Mata Hari hole must get an absolute caning on this era of games, Todd. And there is no Cliffy protector that would preserve this part either.

[@tntamusements]

Jared Morgan Glad you enjoyed it Jared! The "hole" needed major attention!

[@paulclarke7571]

"Said my wife." Ba-doom-bang!

[@giliijr]

Amazing before and after results.

[@tntamusements]

SO much different!

[@bobbybaker8785]

TNT makes the best game videos!!!!!

[@woodywheeler9736]

I've been to Silverball Arcade in Asbury Park many times. I never saw Harlem Globetrotters pinball machine there. Is one there now? That was one of my favorites when I was a kid. The man's description was completely true - lots to do (for a machine from that time period at least).

[@tntamusements]

I think you will LOVE my Silverball Museum video right here! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWXdgX2Yn5uad5o

[@murdaman702]

I have one of these machines that needs to be restored, when I was younger my grandmother decided she didn't want in the storage anymore and moved it out and let it sit outside and the rain and the weather damaged it.... Now just sitting in storage collecting dust

[@tommyborgia3590]

Steven RULES, A true artist.

[@tntamusements]

He's great at what he does!

[@tommyborgia3590]

No Doubt about it.

[@GabrielGranitz]

[@tntamusements]

Tour De Flex Records Thanks!!

[@clarklee9820]

i have the 14938 one made..

[@qbeam]

Excellent work guys!!!

[@tntamusements]

Greg Quick Thanks!!!

[@Paulywint]

I played this game back in the day at a bar and once you drop all the drop targets the one I played they stayed down once you enter the hole at the end, so it was easier to get it at the hole again so I could get special quicker.

[@tntamusements]

Paul W Yes...I like this wide hole...its alot like Power Play and Mata Hari...

[@Riz2336]

Man you guys really restored that machine, it looked terrible when you first started working on it.

[@tntamusements]

Riz2336 Yes...others would have not tried...but this baby still has tons of life in it!!

[@tonysvinyl2214]

Todd you guys should do a gag with useing shapers lol

[@tntamusements]

maybe one day!

[@darrylclaxton7992]

Great video....

[@tntamusements]

Thanks Darryl!

[@martinroddam6700]

Massive hi from Essex in uk, you boys are amazing!!! Been after buying globe for years, fetch £5000 here easily, maybe I need to ship one across the pond, buzzing how you showed how it played as well, thank you so much, let me know if buying and shipping to U.K. Is something that is advisable? Keep up the good work guys Martin

[@tntamusements]

Thank you Martin!

[@BukesWorld]

Beautiful. I just picked up my globetrotters machine from mother's house. She bought it for my 12th birthday in '79... I guess if you did the math, you'd know may age..lol... Nevertheless, i want to restore my machine to as close to new as possible. I am very handy and would like to do most if not all restoration myself. What are the chances of this happening with your guidance, and of course supplying the parts ? Also is there a power supply upgrade to lessen the electric bill ? I do like the LED bulb swap you made. Super Duper Fantastic job restoring this classic...👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 Now to the meat & potatoes, How much did the restoration cost ?

[@tntamusements]

Hi! Thanks!! It was $2500 for the restoration!

[@paulsolfelt8452]

The sound board sounds slightly off for some reason but I can't put my finger on it, like the tone is a little different from what I got on my roms ? I played this game on location about 79 or 80 and the left targets had a different tone on them!

[@oisku10]

I 💓this Game 🤗

[@woilly69]

how you did the pain job on the playfied? its amazing.. you did it by hand and clear coated ? thats my game i was paying when i was 10 to 14 years old and i own one . i really like the colors of this game and the 2 flippers on the left

[@goosegutz]

Fantastic restore as usual.What type of paint is used to touch up the cab?

[@tntamusements]

Its a latex based paint...Stev buys 4 and 12 oz bottles of it from craft stores and mixes the exact color. On larger surfaces, we buy quarts and gallows of Ace Hardware Store paint...our local store keeps the colors on file, so we can go in and order Donkey Kong Blue for instance.

[@recroomrescues5445]

Todd, what type of paint do you guys use to freshen up cabinets? Tell Wallace that I would like to be his apprentice. Have a good week.

[@tntamusements]

RecRoom Rescues We use Lowe's Black high gloss paint...buy it byt he gallon. The smaller color paints we get from Home Depot...Delta is the brand...in 4 oz bottles...you can also get it at any craft store...this is for touch up. Wallace loves to teach new people too!

[@Lostfilesfrom2023]

So if u have a globetrotter pin that just needs a over haul and all the new light. What does cost, just give me a range. And how much for like the one u had here, how much was that restoration. Great job!! Considering using u guys!

[@tntamusements]

we charge between 2K and 3K for a restoration...it may be higher is new playfield overlay needed...

[@user-yh2gp6qv1y]

I want a overlay or playfield from this game please.

[@GabrielGranitz]

On the 17th!!!

[@tntamusements]

YES! Hey Gabe...glad to meet you!! I was around Friday night and didn;t see you again...but I will be here all day Saturday...will look for you!!

[@Stemage]

Lovely! Is that clear coated or mylar?

[@tntamusements]

Stemage Mylar is over the repainted field. It will last for many years!

[@mpl1327]

Price?

[@mikethompson7436]

How did you get the mice smell out of it looked like they were living in there for awhile

[@tntamusements]

Fabreze, baking soda, and a urine eradicator spray help do this!

[@GuntPulp]

Sweet machine but what's up with them designing it with an upside-down pentacle on the playfield?

[@tntamusements]

Maybe someone out there knows the answer!

[@lassei4659]

Howdy! What are the price of a this kind of machine i very dusty condition?? Dont know if its working..

[@tntamusements]

probably $400 to $600

[@SagePatrynXX]

I'd never disparage someone who sold me a worn game .... we can do that... not anyone else :) at least it wasn't shot but I'm gonna guess it was outside or something at some point. like looking at abandoned buildings off netflix in hi def. O_O has that same peel to it. it was outside...!!!

[@SagePatrynXX]

game that old and not on 5 ball I'd think somethings up :P many good designs going away. gotta get someone to digitize some of the old mechanicals somehow. feel like the old days when we had VHS. Getting Knight Rider was difficult :( course then I spent alot on the DVD-18's and then found out they rot. and Universal will replace them only when I say they skip. But won't sell me the DVD-9 Release. :( crap. might as well just buy it on Google Play now. (not sure if Vudu Has knight rider yet. ) although if someone made one for wizard of oz. Knight Rider and Airwolf seriously need one :P

[@thomast7748]

This red hole is obscene ! The cheap paint job and the LED are a disaster of a restauration.

[@maries1955]

Stop putting the back glass..Paint side down....I wanna jump out of my skin every time..
