Operation of a Bio-Rhythm machine: 

Bill Heatherly shares a restoration of a Super 8 by Stoner

Gameplay of a World Series II wall game

 

Mike Hasanov takes us through an extremely rare and early Play Penny Polo that he has in for restoration

 

Restoration off a late 1940s/early 1950s pachinko machine with some great slow-motion video of the mechanisms!

 

 Two videos of 1970s smart ball gameplay

 

1963 Arizona by Bergmann, this German gun game requires you to insert the BBs

The Hat Trick is one of the more interesting allwins since it allows the operator to swap the coloured cups to determine what the playfield will be like, and tightly control the possible odds.

 

Great little video on a huge penny scales collection

 Pop-Up Criss Cross review

I really like this auction preview, where he walks through everything for sale and gives them a try. Gameplay footage of a number of great obscure machines in here.

 The fascinating Moorman's Par Golf circa 1936

 1932 Keen-Ball

 A great news piece from 1976:

 Clay takes us deep into Sea Hunt by Allied Leisure circa 1972

This blog stands in protest against the USA's horrific policies to try and eliminate trans people from society.  Trans people have always existed, in every society, but the administration has embraced a moral panic, declared a war against reality, and says that trans people can no longer be allowed to exist.

This blog stands in solidarity with all of the youth who are being terrorized by a fascist president who has declared them to be threats that must be eliminated.

Ontario Pinfest 2025 report

Last weekend we loaded up for Pinfest!  2 days of pinball in Wasaga Beach, Ontario.  I was asked to setup and run a pinball history booth, like last year's editiopn.

loading up the trailer.  My friend brought Elektra and Bali.

 Here is the history booth setup, just before opening:

full booth

this was the stuff I brought to sell

 

There are two walkthrough videos that pinball channels posted, but unfortunately neither cover the history booth.

 

 

 

I picked up a few things.  Most notably, this Ski-Doo (formally, Ski-Doo 23) pinball machine from 1932.

an extra copy of Terry Cumming's wonderful Pinball Ad Catalog vol 3.  

 a 1000 piece pinball puzzle, via the charity auction

 

Bought this Sky Kings for a friend of mine that grew up with this game.

I was given a few lovely prints of restored backglasses.

 

And some items for scanning... 

Marketplace vol 13 no 12, 1974-06-30

Canadian Coin Box 1983-07

they are all quite brittle, but I was passed a stack of Billboard issues from before WW2

schematics for Gottlieb's Around The World (1959)
I don't own this game, I just want to expand my collection of digitized Gottlieb schematics

I was passed these interesting light sockets.  Does anyone know what they are from, or clues to the manufacturer or era that might have used them? 2 have a jeweled dome.

 I was also given this project Contact, and have already found someone to take it.

 

View from the corner

 

Highlights from the show ...

These two played like a dream.  Counterforce and Asteroid Annie

 

2 brand new releases, raising money for the local food bank.  Evil Dead was great but I have a hard time finding my shots on Spooky pins since I barely get to play them.  The ramps felt wide and the other shots felt tight.
King Kong was the LE and it was a delight to play.  Absolutely loved it and I think it's going to be a hit.  Elwin has done it again.  With how much the upper flippers get used, I think this might be one of those games that plays extremely long in tournaments, like Godzilla.  But for players that aren't the worlds' greatest, it's perfection. :)

The Simpsons homebrew debuted here and it was AMAZING.  Highly recommended.  In fact, here's a video from Pinball Shenanigans going through it.  I was lucky enough to get a similar extended tour through the machine with the creator.

 

Tempest's vector output was also running through that oscilloscope for part of the show!  And what a beautiful Mappy.

 

Some decent scores on these next 3.  All super fun.

the ideal pitch-and-bat game. You need that handle for batting satisfaction.

This blog stands in protest against the USA's horrific policies to try and eliminate trans people from society.  Trans people have always existed, in every society, but this fascist administration has declared a war against reality and says that trans people can no longer be allowed to exist.  Trump's executive orders say that trans children cannot be safe at school, in their home, in public, or at hospitals.  Trump officially declared transness existing as a primary source of CHILD ABUSE.  Trump's orders are a decree to destroy all traces of trans existence from society, to punish every trans person and those that love them, and declares that all trans people are subhuman threats and liars who should not be allowed to exist publicly.  He is attacking children, he is attacking families, and he is delighting in his sadism.

exploring the arcade いい湯だな全員集合!! (1969) aka Ii yu dana zenin shûgô!! (What a nice bath, everyone gather round!!)

This appears to be the same style of shooting gallery as in our last arcade exploration (exploring the arcade in 関東テキヤ一家 喧嘩火祭り(1971) aka Kantô Tekiya ikka: Goromen himatsuri (Kanto Tekiya Family Fighting Fire Festival)) plus there is also a row of smartball tables.  

This film anchors the globe shooting gallery to 1969, but it might be from earlier in the 1960s.

いい湯だな全員集合!! (1969)

 

 

When the camera shifts, we get to see a lineup of Smart Ball tables.

Zooming in:

I have not seen this style of Smart Ball table before.  It appears to have an automatic payout mechanism in the back box, with a visible row of balls presumably ejected from that yellow-ish flap at the front of the backbox.

 

The movie also spends a bunch of time around a coin-operated massage chair.

I bring this up because Kansai Seiki also made coin-operated massage chairs back in the 1960s.  Though the examples of their chairs are quite different design.

あんま椅子 (massage chair)

In the 1969 machine directory we see a chair that appears to be similar to the one in the movie.

This blog stands in opposition to USA's attempted cultural genocide of trans people.  Everyone needs to check their principles and find their red line where fascism can no longer be tolerated.  If this war against trans people does not cross your line, you are supporting nazism and are not welcome.
