This is the second of seven VHS tapes in a series that Tim Arnold videotaped at the storage area of his house, which as you may know, has one of the largest pinball machine collections in the world. Originally taped in the winter of 1997 and issued on VHS, this 2 hour two dvd set opens with a rare Bally Crosswords bingo, one of only 500 made. Also demonstrated is Miss America Deluxe, explaining features such as the red letter game, magic lines, and lit rollovers.
Tim also discusses game numbers and how to spot them on your pinball machine and even how to trace back model numbers from buying used plastics. Tim discusses various Gottlieb pinball machines, including Flying Carpet, Buccaneer, including the Spin and Spot feature. Next it’s an Alvin G. pin, Punchy The Clown with Tim discussing the switch flipper. After that, it’s Royal Guard with the shifting snap targets. Tim also discusses grounding a game properly. Tim then reviews a more recent Gottlieb, Spring Break and then a Williams’ Whirlwind, briefly discussing swapping parts from one playfield to another, then it’s a review of a 1948 Williams’ Yanks pin with a running base unit and discusses interesting information about an original Harry Williams’ Yanks drawing. To conclude part 1, Tim talks about a rare Genco Motorama, the last game that Genco ever made and even discusses how the car works and such oddities as cabinet ducktail joints, then it’s a brief look at a Bally 1984 video/pinball hybrid, Granny and The Gators.
Disc 2 goes into detail of what could be a one or two or maybe three of a kind Gottlieb TKO which Tim built from a backglass and a playfield. Next, Tim shows off an Alvin G. World Tour and a rare Gottlieb Strange World, one of the last Gottlieb lectromechanicals ever made. Tim next shows off a very rare, very weird game, Rat Race. Next Tim shows off a Gottlieb Rack Em Up, then an Alvin G. Pistol Poker, and then an obscure mid 60’s Bally Dixieland, designed by the legendary Ted Zale. Concluding this dvd are a couple obscure pinball commercials and a cartoon.
The source for this dvd set was a VHS copy played only twice. Tim’s original tape is worn away from so many sales, so this is the next best thing. So, pitch those worn VHS tapes and enjoy this dvd set!
