## Analysis

Mike Dimas visits Grazely Garage to document the arrival of a 1983 Nintendo Punch-Out arcade cabinet and the ongoing restoration of a heavily modified Medieval Madness pinball machine. The Punch-Out cabinet, weighing 250 pounds with dual monitors, arrives after a 9-hour drive and becomes a summer project for Kevin and Dutch Pinball. The Medieval Madness restoration, featuring custom purple-blue and blood-red powder coating, undergoes its first playtest after reassembly, with the team troubleshooting various mechanical and electrical issues including switch registration, monitor calibration, and drawbridge mechanics.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] Nintendo Punch-Out arcade cabinet weighs approximately 250 pounds — _Mike Dimas and crew googled the weight and confirmed it during the episode_
- [HIGH] Punch-Out cabinet is from 1983 — _Dutch Pinball identified the year based on the cabinet markings_
- [MEDIUM] Nintendo designed Punch-Out using two monitors because they had overproduced monitors for Donkey Kong — _Crew mentioned they 'googled it' and this was the explanation found_
- [MEDIUM] Medieval Madness playfield had approximately 4,000 pieces requiring restoration — _Mentioned during playfield discussion at Grazely Garage_
- [LOW] Medieval Madness held the number one Pinside rating for approximately 100 years until recent modern games like Godzilla and Jurassic Park surpassed it — _Casual conversation between Mike and crew; 'hundred years' is hyperbolic; current ranking estimated at #2-3_
- [HIGH] Medieval Madness ramps cleaned up as original components without cracks visible from normal viewing angle — _Direct observation during playtest; crew was shocked they were original and undamaged_
- [HIGH] The Medieval Madness cabinet came from a pinup arcade where it lived for many years — _Dutch Pinball stated this during the episode_
- [LOW] Punch-Out cabinet cabinet circuitry boards are worth approximately $1,000 — _Speculative comment from crew during inspection_

## Transcript

 Punch-Out has arrived! Here it is! This could be a bad idea. No, this is fine. Oh yeah? Look at this compared to me. Yeah, let's maybe not do this. No, we could totally do that. It would be great. Let's go! On the bricks! Nooooo! Slam tilt, man. Slam tilt! I'm Mike Dimas, and this is Pinball Shenanigans. Hi doggies. Just want to give a quick super thanks shout out to Kev13a36 who contributed five euros. Euros or pounds? I can't remember which one is which, but either way, I very much appreciate that. And also got 9.99 US dollars from GlennCarballo81 who, it's not his first rodeo. check that out. Much appreciated. I'm going to the Beast and Buffalo in a couple days and they got some good craft beer and I'll put that to good use. I am off to the Grazely Garage for some arcade shenanigans. In about half an hour, Kevin and Dutch are going to accept delivery of a Nintendo Punch-Out Arcade machine. I don't know a whole lot about punch out I did buy and sell video games for like 20 years on ebay I think I opened my ebay store in 2002 it was one of the OGs and I had dozens of copies of the Nintendo version of punch out and Mike Tyson's punch out and I think yeah Super Nintendo had Super Punch-Out too, didn't they? So I'm a little more familiar with the cartridge version. I don't recall playing Punch-Out in the arcade. I was probably too busy playing Shinobi and Double Dragon and Ghosts and Goblins and Bubble Bobble. But, you know, this is a very popular game, probably fairly desirable, and someone very, very far away, like six hours, is driving through the area conveniently, and they packed this Nintendo Punch-Out into their SUV. I saw a couple photos, and it looks... I was surprised that they were able to get it in there, because it's huge. It's got two monitors. And I want to be there for the action and check this out. It's not working. This is going to be like Kevin and Dutch's summer project or one of them. And it should be pretty freaking sweet when it's all said and done. So let's go check out the punch-out action. Hi, Meanerd. Mabel. She already come and say hi. said hi she wants back in now she just wanted to say hi all right stars of the show always gotta make an appearance that's a nice looking dinner you got there taquitos and diet coke dinner of champions all right dutch has uh suggested that there may be some activities in the arcade. I have a suspicion it could be medieval madness related, but it wouldn't be all that unreasonable to suspect that a playfield may have been inserted into a cabinet. The suspense is building. Maynard is anxiously waiting. Oh, it is true. As of like 20 minutes Oh really? Yeah, pretty much. Playfield and cabinet have reunited. Have a look at that. Yet to do the underside of the, you caught me kind of as it was just in the middle of, just starting to do the bottom side of the playfield, the LEDs. Hey, I brought you 200 LEDs. Would you like those? I would. There you go. We already have all of these in here though. Okay, you probably depleted your stash with this machine here. Wow. Hey, no, we can use those on? What? That. Ah, yeah, Monster Bash could use a LED upgrade. I think I saw some old-style LEDs in there. Old-style LEDs colored GI everywhere. Yeah, I see, like, red going on over here. There's blue there and green by the creature. Yeah, very clown pukey. Okay, so where are you at with this guy? You must be close to the finish line. um so when we took it apart it still had a lot of issues with it i fixed a lot of them but there's still many things left so we're not sure if the trolls work and whatnot okay so we'd have to go through and troubleshoot so this play field went into the cabinet 20 minutes ago is that what you're saying pretty much oh well like what happened was we put it in and then i'm the control lamps weren't working right so i was tinkering with that before i even fixed it fixed that like my dad had to go to get my sister from work. Oh, okay. That's where he's at. Yeah, so that's why he's not here. But, like, pretty much, like, I put in, I think, seven LEDs. Yeah. And then I took a few out, and then you showed up. Oh, okay. Or I decided to move my car. So it looks like some new flipper bats. Yeah, they need to be adjusted. They don't quite line up. Okay. This red powder coating throughout is incredible. Oh, yeah, it's nice. Oh, yeah. I've seen a lot of medieval madnesses but this is a one-of-a-kind with the purple blue powder coating on the outside and the blood red on the inside hey fellow shenaniganders if you are enjoying what you are seeing why don't you click on these three dots at the bottom of any video and then find this heart click on that and hey look at this you can buy me a beer you can use the slider to buy me 500 beers if you really like but this is a way you can send thanks and i very much appreciate your support if you do so your comment will be highlighted and also i will give you a shout out so thank you for all your support it's come a long way new decals yes i'm also here and on the inside as well oh yeah one thing i want to point out is look how nice the ramps cleaned up remember how disgusting oh yeah those are original wow they went black before and they're not cracked the only crack oh well is underneath this piece of metal oh yeah i can see the tiniest little piece right there it's yeah if you look on this side but you really can't see it from where you're standing right got the new dragon wings yeah but yeah these things are crystal clear i was shocked I'm like, are you a new rancher? You didn't tell? Nope, those are original. And that's not even flame polished. Nope. So you went with some purple-looking pop bumper caps. Is that purple LEDs too? Supposedly. It comes with purple pop bumper caps from factory, but I don't know what the color is, but it turned out really pink. Yeah, it actually looks more pink than purple. but who knows it could even be just natural white bleeding through the no okay supposedly purple leds that turn that somehow added to dark purple turned pink so we'll have to see what i can do i might leave it looks all right i think well i have to change it i don't know i hear your uh 19th birthday is coming up pretty soon soon and uh i can't imagine this not being ready for that so uh question where the f are you gonna put it good question oh boy you don't have a whole lot of space monster bash we're gonna find a spot for that too okay anybody want to buy a world tour or a Frankenstein or a pair of NBA Fast Breaks. I think that's it for right now. Yeah, that's about it. Because you were kind of toying with the idea of Star Trek Next Generation. We've got to get the seven, though. We have to get the seven in here at some point. Then we can start selling off the super pins. Yeah, there's seven super pins in the series. We've got the Twilight Zone, Indiana Jones, Roadshow, Judge Dredd, Star Trek, Popeye, but you need the Demolition Man before you can start selling off pieces of the collection. That would be pretty cool to have all seven super pins. That's been the idea for a few years now. Other things have kind of jumped the queue. And we could definitely buy a Demolition Man if we wanted, but it's never been the top priority, even though we're so close to the finish line for the seven. Yeah, and waiting for the right price, too. You don't want to buy a retail price Demolition Man and then sink in thousands of dollars into it. Pretty much. I'll be there. Okay. Take tickets to where I want food. Oh, yeah, right. You tend to your dinner. Because your punch-out is going to be arriving pretty shortly. Yeah. So this episode is going to be part arcade shenanigans. So once they show up we hit the record button All right It is 5 5 and your punch should be here any second Three minutes it going to be here in three minutes The stupid Toronto traffic has delayed things, as it does. But it should be arriving shortly, so we will sit and wait. Punch-out has arrived, here it is. it didn't quite fit in the uh vehicle 100 did it it was like it's like this for how long of a drive let's see you left at eight o'clock this morning nine hours oh my god with a few stops i can't believe this thing fit in there well i guess it didn't but uh there it is just to slide in considering my wife and i loaded it for two advice we just um not bad you know what with the wheels on the back it was just tilt and roll and away you go right like it's just because there's no way you're humping this thing up by yourself like i thought moving pinball machines was bad this looks like triple this is i they're light as a feather compared to this monstrosity let me know if it's going to fall off the end but I don't think so. I think it should be a little bit hot. I have to document this monstrosity getting uh removed. Actually it's going pretty smooth. I had a... I thought it was going to be like a lot more problematic than that but that's actually not that bad. Yeah and then it's got the nice two hand holds and a little foothold here and it's just kicking. So this this probably like quadrupled your gas consumption uh the weight of this thing? That's a great question. I don't even know. Oh, the price just went up. Sorry, Kevin. This is the B4. Nintendo Company. Made in Japan. So you said Dutch. What year is this? 83. 83, okay. How old were you in 83? Going to have to do some reverse math here. Negative 23. Negative 23. All right, cool. I just made everyone feel very old. Oh, you bastard. Oh, so that's the button you're talking about? Yeah, easy. So, two head, left blow, two body. If you hold up and you press the button, it throws a jab. If you hold down and press the button, it throws a body blow. And there's the kick-out blow. Alright, it's really hard to see in the sun. Oh my god, yeah. Why the hell am I kicking Mike? It's the Boston game. It's super kick-out, isn't it? Yeah. Okay, this is freaking hot. All right, Dutch, let's move this. I'll watch you load it. I'd like to see if you can even... I can't. I want to know exactly how much this weighs compared to you. Help me. Okay, I'll try. One, two, three. Oh, sort of. This could be a bad idea. No, this is fine. Yeah? Look at this thing compared to me. Oh my god, this is so my friggin' thumbnail photo right here. I'm taking a photo of this. I'm terrified this thing is going to break. I don't think it can support its own weight. Yeah, let's maybe not do this. No, we can totally do this. It would be great. Oh my god. Are you actually? No, you're not. Let's go. On the bricks. Oh my god. I am slightly terrified you're going to die in any second. Wow. Can you get the gate for me? Oh, sure. I'll provide some assistance. This is hilarious. And terrifying. No, that's true. See if I can... So where's this going? In the garage? Shit, man. Check out these pipes. That's not too bad. Alright, here we go. saved Dutch from near death and Now we're gonna Work this thing into the arcade here This probably could be beneficial if I'm helping at this point here, but let's see Dutch might be able to Pull that off There you go. No problem. Oh, yeah, we googled it and this way this thing weighs He weighs 250 pounds, so... I don't know if I can bench press this up. Surprisingly. That was my problem. Yeah. He wouldn't put down his phone to help me the first time. I saved you. I saved you. Yeah, after I bleed it for my life. That's true. Okay, there it is. Yeah, so about the same weight as a pinball machine. The problem is you're doing it single person. And it's very top heavy. Okay, what's the deal with the two monitors on this thing? What, like the reason why? Yeah. Nintendo made a miscalculation. They thought Donkey Kong was going to keep selling well a few years after it came out, so they had way too many monitors. So they designed a game that used two. Well, there you go. They had to get rid of their spare monitors, apparently. So they came out with Punch-Out, and then Super Punch-Out. And then Arm Wrestling. And all were in the same cabinet? Yeah, they use different control panels though Well here it is We're gonna plug this thing in we know it doesn't work But we want to plug it in anyways firstly Is there any money in here? There are if this is accurate 70,854 plays on this game and here's where all the coins go damn it nothing all right man tell me come back load them right back up yeah quarters in here nothing okay so well let's plug it in see what happens but either way have a look at the before definitely got some cosmetics to be dealing with oh like a kind of a foundation a base like over there I'm not sure what's gonna happen, but I'll plug it in. Three, two, one. Okay, three, two, one. Nothing. We're good. Now you gotta turn it on. Where's the power switch? Here it is. All right, check it out. Okay. Three, two, one. Punch out. That sounds like a lot of interference. We've got one light bulb and some speaker. Hey! Oh, wait a minute. Hey. Oh, it's just the reflection of me and Kevin. No, that's... Oh, yeah. On video, it looks like that. But we've got stuff. Oh, good. And more stuff. That's probably not good enough. So that is the starting point. I'm going to turn it off. Hey, wait, wait, wait. Can we start? Can we press any button at all? Does anything happen? Put a credit in. Yeah, let's add a credit. Ah, I heard the thing go. Oh, yeah? It was what? 84 plays? Yeah, 54. 54, so now it's 55. All right. So game on. Okay what's that combination again? Left right left right up down up down A B A B? Doesn't work on this game. Start. I didn't start. Yeah I was close. Yeah. Okay what about uh... I'm gonna turn this off. Yeah that's probably a good idea. Should we... Obviously the monitors don't work but in lieu of trying to make them work eventually... Want to turn that off? Well I was gonna say should we snoop in the back but it's actually screwed down. down oh Dutch has a screwdriver well it's it's only like four screws technically We'll time lapse. Fucking dick. There we go. All right. Whoa. I'll need to unscrew that shit. Wow. Okay. There's no piece on that side. That is the inner workings of an arcade machine with two monitors. Wow. You guys are going to have fun with this. Have you worked on monitors before? No, but I hear they can kill you. That's what I've heard There's a pretty high voltage apparently. So Is this where the main circuit board is housed then? Apparently these boards alone are worth like a thousand bucks, so I Don't know why is it is this game like pretty uncommon or did they make a million of them? I just think original stuff is more funny. The fact that it's original and Nintendo? Yeah, not like a bootleg. We'll have to Google how many of these were made. See if we can get a number. I can imagine they were terribly common since a lot of people haven heard of it before But I don think it rare Okay well there will not be a gameplay video on this today But that will be your summer project. Yeah. So that should be fun. Arcade shenanigans in the Grazy Garage. Okay, back to Medieval Madness now. We've got the Artblade protectors off. I can't remember if they were off when I went over it the first time. I don't think they were off, but how effing cool is that? We have the basketball there. It's like almost NBA Jam-like, this zone here. Just like that. But like I said, this play field has been in this cabinet for like 20 minutes. And we're going to turn it on. We're going to throw in some flipper rubbers. And we're going to try and give it a play test. We need some balls. Dutch is on the case. And, you know, this may be like the first high-speed play test. There might be a few things on the to-do list. There was when it was taken apart. So don't be all sad and discouraged if something doesn't work. because don't you worry, it'll all get fixed. Oh, we've got rubbers. We've got balls. This is potentially the pinnacle of the Grazy Garage arcade collection here. I mean, there's many A titles, but this is just... This one's been rated number one on Pinside for 100 years, up until maybe recently when all the modern... Yeah, the Godzillas and the... Jurassic Park. Yeah, the Keith Owen. Keith Owen, once he went up to bat designing machines, then Williams' A titles started dropping a little bit. But this held number one spot for a long time. I think it's like number two or number three. Oh, is it still? Yeah. AFM and this are still in the top five last time I checked. I think this is two or three now. Okay, so it's still up there. Let's hit enter and see. Time. Oh time and date right loop hi well we haven't played a game yet so that and that's it so right loop this switch here oh yeah okay we found a couple of connectors that weren't connected so all right here it is this is this officially the first playtest game since wow cool all right close up coin door oh yeah haven't shown that off yet it's a Monty Python black knight look you stupid bastard you've got no arms left yes I have look just a flesh wound you're all ready first play test game yeah it may last like three seconds we'll see all right for science here we go yeah so far so good and this light isn't Up, right? Or should it be down? It should be up. It needs to drop. Nice. Wow, come back, magic shield. Don't move! Okay, let's try and lock it off. No! Okay, tilt-bob works. That should be the bridge going down? Yeah, I think. Uh oh. Oh, it got... Okay, that didn't kill the game at least. There we go. No, it didn't register. It got hosed. Okay, switching there is not registering, obviously. We're gonna wait for... Here we go! 75% of the switches we've hit so far, don't worry. Til it works though. Except for that one. That one definitely works. Alright, come on. Alright. So, I'm gonna have to change my strategy. I'm not gonna go for castles now, I'm not going for the main multiball now, I'm going for Royal Madness multiballs. Get the skill shot here. Okay, so let's try a castle. Mystery awards, they're trolls. Alright, come on trolls, work! There's one. Oh, they do have LED's for eyes. Do you have any troll bombs? No troll bombs. Those are cool. I love how they have different colored eyes. Is there some sort of troll combo? Hey! That registered. The gate is open! I can destroy the castle if I can just like jump over the drawbridge. Oh wait! Castle just destroyed! Yeah, it knows that it's not working. This is not working so... Here we go! Troll madness is lit! So should we push our luck and try and light one more of these guys? Let's try right ramp, we haven't hit that yet, have we? Okay, a little bit later. Here's catapult, as long as I don't tilt. Nice! Right, Grant? Excuse me, did the dragon work? It's freezing! Ah, it's freezing! Oh, I accidentally started the multiball. Multiball madness! Do I have a troll bomb? I do! I do! I do! I do! Whoa, did you see that? I was right over top of the troll as he popped up. No! Slam tilt. Slam tilt. Wow. I smashed the troll in the face, and he did not like that. Either way, you have friggin' medieval madness in the arcade. It needs some love. It needs a little bit of love. Just a bit. But this is just epic. Considering it was in 4,000 pieces. And didn't work before. Yeah. It's come a long way from the pinup arcade that it lived in for many, many years. But there it is. Medieval friggin' madness. Holy shit, it works! What the hell did you do? I received the JAMA connector. Yay! That's amazing. Can you turn it off now, please? There are volume knobs, by the way. Okay, wow. I just received a few connectors for fun. Holy shit! It didn't do that before! Wow, we have life! That is amazing! Oh my god. Okay, we gotta learn how to turn this thing down and then see to what degree this thing actually works. So there's two knobs. There's a volume sound... sound volume there. There's a sound volume down here. I think it's for the... each part. Oh yeah, it says right there. I guess the volume must be mixed differently since one speaker plays like the announcer and sound effects, Everyone does the music. Okay. Or something like that. Do you need a screwdriver or can you just turn it? I can probably just hand do it. Okay. But I'm not sure. Unless it's like a board issue. It seems like they were both cranked to the max. So let's turn them the opposite way. Okay. And see what happens. All right. Okay. This might do nothing. Yeah, it may not work now. Okay. No. Okay. Might need a little contact cleaner. Or WD-40. She's pretty old, so yeah, probably. Okay. That's at nothing, by the way. These are quite to the minimum. Okay, we're going to have to just live with it for a minute. Let's just see. Look at that. That screen is perfect. And this is just like horizontal or... Horizontal. Yeah. No, the start button! Oh, no. There's no start button. It doesn't work. Oh, there's 80 credits in there, but the start button doesn't work. Okay, go change the horizontal and vertical. Let's see if we can fix this thing. Wait, it's doing something! Yeah yeah Go to horizontal or vertical Adjust I let you know doesn it say these size behold the vertical hold vertical Center I get mess with all those I'll let you know if anything's improving but hey oh it's better worse better oh wait wait we're stabilizing oh my god we're almost there I think with enough messing with it will be will be there that's not too bad I bet you will get it but I'll be right back yeah I can only take so much of this all right well check this out that's awful intimidating the board set here. Awful efficient. Pinball could learn from this. And look at that. There's where the original batteries would go and there's no corrosion there. So that's pretty good news. So we're not having a whole lot of luck with the volume controls or the adjustment for the monitor. And we can't get this start button to work. So we kind of went down the rabbit hole here. There's a couple ribbon cables back here that we could potentially reseat more connectors here but we don't know arcade crap hey look it says it's okay oh well no problem put a sticker bag in hey you wouldn't effin believe it we turn the music you We turned the music down. Dutch reseated a bunch of connectors on the main board. We adjusted some vertical adjustments on the upper monitor. And Kevin replaced the button for a start. I think there's some sound issues with it still. What's left? Left! Come on! Come on! Honey blow! Honey blow! It friggin' works, though. Stick and move. Out of our case. Right hook! Right hook! I cannot believe it. Can you believe that shit? We don't know shit about arcades. I cannot believe we brought this back to life. Right! Honey blow! Honey blow! Right! Honey blow! Hey! There's some visual issues. Come on, Anibo, Anibo. Left, knock him out. Because the bar's not actually showing up. Oh, really? Oh, wait, no, there's the bars up here. Is that what you're talking about? No, that's health. Like, you see, like, the KO right there? Yeah. There's supposed to be a bunch of, like, red arrows kind of leading towards it, but they're not there. It doesn't really show up very good on camera. It's just, like, strobing this, like, dark bar across everything. That is not actually happening in real life. Believe us when we say that the picture's a little washed out. but it's actually there. Both monitors work perfectly. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Knockout. Wow, that was loud. Come on, stand up and fight. Wow. It works. It works. Oh my God, I cannot believe it. That is amazing. Even the rematch. We've been working on this non-working moat or drawbridge. whatever you want to call it for like an hour at least and been chasing our tail but we think we finally found the solution and it's not on even a connector that is pertaining to the drawbridge specifically uh if you look in this connector here you see that gray yellow wire remnant remnant well that's because we had to go digging and look we found this this may be the solution to our problems we're certainly going to help something if not it's gotta just took freaking hour and a half to find that okay we've got the wire stuck back in the connector hey yeah another victory boom all right kevin productive today kevin doesn't know that we've resolved this yet so uh as soon as he as soon as he gets back in here we'll show him the good news. Alright, one more game for the road here now that we think we've got things fixed. We think the lock should work, the right orbit switch now works, and the drawbridge. The popper should work, the drawbridge works, yes. So let's uh, oh and we moved the slam tilt switches apart so that they're not so close and that should be resolved too. So, let's destroy some castles. Let's do that. We need credits. Alright. Here we go. I am the king of pay. Welcome to my kingdom. Oh, that didn't work. What? A bumper? No, the left top lane. Oh, roll over lane? Yeah. Okay. I'm gonna cheat, I don't care. We just want to see this drawbridge. It didn't move! Uh, you got to go in there again, maybe. No, I saw it go down in the animation. Oh, really? Oh, no! Can't fucking hit it, though. Yeah. Gate damage? Oh, that's supposed to be gate damage? Well, what the F? It's working, it's just not behaving the way it should. How about trying to lock a ball, let's see if that works. I don't know, I don't think you can backhand it. You can cheat it if you want. Oh, castle destroyed. But we saw it move, so all it needs is some adjustment now. We know the drawbridge actually works, so let's just cheat it and... Look at that. So, wait a minute. Did we get the whole castle exploding when you destroyed it? Yeah. Did it go boom, boom, boom, boom, like physically? No, it just boom, exploded. Oh, okay. So, some things might be disabled. it's supposed to like really be animated like boom boom boom boom boom boom but it didn't do that we'll be back all right okay well you know you know it might be it for today you know you want to just finish off with a multibow all right let's cheat it and then uh it worked that time but barely oh okay it fell off the ramp when i hit it though oh did it i smacked the left ramp Alright, here we go. One more. Block. And play out this multiball. Very epic. Very epic. The flipper's not adjusted very well. Let's see if you can get a double super jackpot! Is that on this ball? I think it is. I keep falling off the left ramp. Like three times in a row. I don't know how to get a double super jackpot. I think that's in multiball Madness. I think it's... The Royal Madness one? No, not Royal Madness. I think it's in multiball Madness when you hit the super jackpot shot. Oh, okay. I'm not sure. Here's where it says super. But anyway. Yeah. But remember, in multiball Madness, the respective things you've completed are super jackpots. Oh, okay. So I think that's the double super. Well, it was a pretty productive day at the Gravesley Garage. Everything from here on out seems workable. Yeah. Like adjusting switches and whatnot. Except for that stupid drawbridge. The drawbridge, pain in the butt. Good progress on Punch Out. Good progress on Medieval Madness. And in no time, both of these things will be 100%. We couldn't leave you hanging. with that thread. Got the drawbridge working. Check this out. Boom. And then... Get in there. There you go. Oh no!
