## Analysis

Mike Dismus visits Grazley Garage to document a massive haul of vintage arcade and pinball machines from the 1970s acquired from an operator's storage. The pickup includes rare finds: two variants of the Alaska pinball machine (one a previously undocumented EM version), three Allied Leisure Getaway solid-state games, and notably, a 1973 two-player Computer Space arcade cabinet — acknowledged as one of the first commercial arcade games ever made. The video focuses on cataloging and examining these machines, with plans for detailed restoration content in future episodes.

### Key Claims

- [HIGH] Computer Space from 1973 is the first arcade game ever made commercially — _Mike and crew acknowledge Computer Space as 'basically the first arcade game ever made' and 'started the whole commercial arcade.' Nolan Bushnell created it; first placement in a bar resulted in machine overflowing with quarters within 24 hours._
- [HIGH] Only 3 people on Pinside own the Interflip Alaska EM version; zero people own the Recreativos Franco single-player wedge-head Alaska variant — _Kevin states he checked Pinside and found three owners of the Interflip four-player EM version and zero for the Franco single-player version, making both extremely rare._
- [MEDIUM] About 1,300-1,500 Computer Space units were sold in total — _Mike cites reading that total production was approximately 1,300-1,500 units._
- [MEDIUM] The two-player Computer Space with joysticks is rarer than single-player button versions — _Mike notes joystick version is more rare; only four different color options existed in single-player, but only one color for two-player model._
- [HIGH] Allied Leisure Getaway is a solid-state game from 1975, predating Steve Richey's design work by about 15 years — _Confirmed as one of the first solid-state games, from 1975._
- [HIGH] There are approximately 16 people on Pinside who own an Allied Leisure Getaway — _Kevin checked Pinside and found approximately 16 owners of the Getaway._
- [HIGH] Computer Space monitor was originally a standard GE TV, with internal components gutted by previous owner — _Cabinet contains a GE TV model; wiring and internal monitor parts have been removed, requiring sourcing a replacement._

## Transcript

There's a couple surprises in here. This is the Monte Carlo. What is this supposed to be? Do we know? Hesitation. Another massive box here. This we don't even know what it is. Alaska Allied Leisure Getaway. Not designed by Steve Ritchie. Here's the head for Getaway. Oh my god. I'm Mike Dus [music] and this is Pinball Shenanigans. [music] Yo, what is going on? The Grazley boys just went on an epic pinball and arcade pickup adventure. They brought a truck and a trailer to an old operator's sort of storage space. And they brought back a full load of pinball and arcade games from the 70s that have been stored there for decades. Several items are new in the box. So, I'm going to head over there and we're going to check out all of the cool stuff that they just picked up. I know of a few things. I don't know everything. There's a couple surprises for me, I guess, but uh also we're going to do some unboxing videos of these items. I won't do it all in this video because I think each of these items deserves its own little spotlight because how often do you get to unbox some arcade stuff from the '7s. So, going to head over there and we're going to check out all of the coolness that they brought back. And I'm telling you, there's some really interesting items. So, stay tuned. All right, here we are at the Grazley garage about to check out the stash. This is very exciting. What I'm not excited about is seeing my own breath.
Uh yeah, I know it's freaking cold out here. So, you guys went on this adventure on Saturday. It is now Monday. What time did you guys leave to go pick up this stuff? And what time did you come back out of curiosity?
7:30 in the morning. We left at 8:30 or 8:45. We got back home.
Okay. Yeah. Well, that's a full day.
All right. Well, let's go. Uh yeah. Yeah. I wish I could have made it, but I was at a big pinball tournament, so Well, let's go see uh what's going on. All right, I'll follow you guys. I have seen a couple teaser photos. Some of the stuff we don't know what it is.
Yes, that's the exciting thing. There's a couple surprises in here.
Yeah.
All right. Well, I see a very large box here. Another box here.
Box is still with the strapping on it.
That's I mean, we don't know what this is. This we don't even know what it is.
No.
Okay. So, what the hell is this?
That is supposed to be the Monte Carlo.
Okay. This is the Monte Carlo.
This is called baseball game.
Baseball game.
That's all it says on it. So,
okay.
I believe the name is if it's what I think it is, it's called computer baseball.
Okay. Well, all of this stuff is from the 70s. So,
like 72 or 73.
I think this is 73. This
Okay.
I I touched I touched up a bit on my uh on my details. [snorts]
But we don't know for sure because we have no idea.
I I love that you just bought this mystery box and we will be opening all this stuff,
but it won't be on this video. So, this is just a kind of overview of everything. And then this thing here is uh
what is this? It was in our way. Actually, both these things were in our way to get the Monte Carlo.
Okay.
So, it was either try to figure out how to move them out of the way or just buy them and take them with us.
I like option number two.
Okay. So, what is this supposed to be? Do we know?
Hesitation.
Hesitation.
Yeah.
Okay. It's like I think it's four player pong or something like that.
We'll find out soon enough. Another massive box here.
Supposed to be
ricochet.
Oh, this is the ricochet. Okay. Oh, it's a way bigger box than I expected. But so this is
tabletop.
This is Yeah, like a what? Octagon style cocktail,
but round top.
Round top. Oh, okay.
Yeah, octagon base.
Okay. Not much to see other than a box just yet, but we'll be digging into this soon enough. Uh, and then you got a few u pinball items.
We did some weird stuff.
Yeah, let's go over it.
It's all weird stuff.
Let's go over this stuff.
All weird stuff.
Check this out. Okay, so the most common thing here, well, the only common thing here is uh we got a Flash Gordon head
and a Modari cabinet.
Yeah,
Mahari cabinet
with Playfield.
Oh, yeah. Hey, that's all right.
Yeah. I didn't know the C playfield was there, but
that's a bonus. This all actually started because you wanted to just get a spare valley cabinet
for John Cherest's um
$6 million
$6 million man.
So, it was easier to try to find a cabinet than to just build a new one from scratch. So, I was like, ask me around. And then turned into, well, if I have to drive all that way, what else is you got?
Oh, you got this and you got that. And next thing you know, you got a garage full of stuff. Now, this is pretty interesting. This is uh Alaska.
Yeah.
Made by Interflip.
One is made by Interflip.
Oh, right. That's right. There's two different Alaskas here.
Yeah.
Um
but they're the same company. Sort of.
Interflip is the name of a Spanish company. That's the name they used when they exported games to other European countries.
But but then
so this company, I don't know how to pronounce that, that is Interflip. When they sold games in Spain, when they exported games to other
countries, they use the name Interflip. So it's the same company,
right?
Under a different name,
but they're both Alaskas. One, they make they came in EM version and solid state version.
Oh, yeah. We didn't even know about the EM version. We assumed that this was solid state, did we not?
Well, not in the thing is this is like the unknown version of this game. You didn't know there was an EM version.
One's a four player square head and one's a single player wedge head.
Okay. Yeah. So, the square head one is the interflip version, right?
Yes.
Four player electromechanical
there.
Oh, yeah. Look at that interflip. Uh so according to pinsside there are three people that have this particular game in their collection. So it's uh pretty incredibly rare. And uh the back glass looks to be in pretty good shape for uh its age and the fact that this was probably stored in non- temperature controlled
environment for well probably since the 70s I'm guessing. Right.
I think so. So,
well, how many people own this?
Okay,
not inner flips, but
So, Recreativos Franco single player wedge head style. I checked this this morning on Pinside and it says there are zero people that own this on Pinsside. Now, it doesn't mean this is the only one in existence, but nobody on Pinsside has this particular copy of Alaska in their collection. Something neat to note though is I can't tell which is which, but the aprons are different colors.
Yeah, I noticed that. We got a green and blue versus blue and orange.
Is there any other differences to the cabinet?
Cabinets are identical.
Yeah. Okay. Does this uh say Yeah. There recreativos Franco
on both doors.
On both. Okay.
At straight in there. That's pretty.
It looks like this plate though almost has like a reflective something on top of it. like a clear layer.
The inner flip um dragon as well as I think anything that Inner Flip made has like a 8 inch plexi on top of the playfield. So that's why these playfields are in like perfect shape. All the dragons I've ever seen are perfect. I mean obviously quarter inch or 8 in plexi is not going to wear. So, that's one awesome thing about this is that the Joshua Clay fields are perfect because of that. But yeah, I don't see any other differences, but uh there you have it. We got two Alaskas super rare games and two the fact that there was two is one thing and the fact that there was two different ones is a whole another surprise that we had no idea.
Okay. And then
got something else that is pretty uh
pretty incredibly rare.
We might have to do a little shuffling here. But what do we got there? Dutch
Allied Leisure Getaway.
Allied Leisure Getaway. Not designed by Steve Ritchie, but equally cool looking.
About 15 years earlier.
Yeah. What year is this? Like 76 or something?
75.
Is it?
It's one of the first solid state games.
Yeah.
Yeah. The fact that this is solid state is kind of crazy cuz mid70s. I was just starting. Check out the uh pinball on this guy. She's a little rusty. But this playfield also looks to be pristine.
Yeah. All all all of them seem pretty good shape,
huh?
Yeah. So, instead of bringing one
Yeah, you found three. How the hell does anybody have three getaways? So, on pin side, I did check and there are somewhere in the neighborhood of I think 16 people that own a getaway. So, not very many. I know Rob Burke does have one of these at past times, but I um I think he doesn't own an Alaska. Oh, check this out. Here's the head for Getaway. Okay. The displays are oriented very oddly. One in the very top left.
Yeah, they're uh
they've got a little red film inside.
Oh, yeah. Okay. Well,
film's flaking off that one. There's also a light panel behind all of these lights. There's an individual LED and there's also a a two displays that go behind here.
Oh, is there?
Yeah, you can see on this one.
Here's one.
Oh, okay. Cool. Oh, neat. Look at that. It's got like uh some interesting foam padding there, I guess, to protect the back glass. See the LED displays? It's high tech for uh 1975. There's the LED board. And then two more. So that's might be like number of credits, I'm guessing. Credit display match.
There's the other.
Oh, yeah. I love the art on this. It's It's just kind of simple and sort of comic booky, but uh
very Richard Tracy.
Yeah, Richard Tracy. Totally.
Oh, hey, there's the side of the cabinet.
Oh, cool. I love that. See the robber getting caught in the headlights. Or is that the policeman?
Feel like this is the police car.
Oh, yeah.
But I don't know.
So, out of curiosity, what does the uh the guts look like in this thing? Do you know how to open this? Uh
uh we kind of the other one. I'm not sure. You kind of like slide this up.
Okay. Oh, got to kind of pop it. Maybe lift up the whole thing. Oh, yeah. There it goes.
Oh, yeah. Everything's in the bottom.
Oh, okay. There's nothing in the head at all.
Oh, we got a knocker, though.
Okay, let's knock it. There we go. It works. And then three connectors here. Uh, okay. So,
the board is inside the cabinet.
What do you know? This is like That's like how Atari did it, right?
Yeah.
Yeah. Uh, not sure if this is
Oh,
a board.
Oh, yes. That
that is the actually the only board that we know of for it.
Okay.
Cuz the power supply is kind of just laid on the bottom.
Does kind of remind me of Atari, but this is an extra board that you you got with it.
Um
or is this the board for it?
Well,
one of the cabinets I believe doesn't have one in it and this be the one for it.
But this is I believe the board that goes in getaways. Oh, we're hoping.
Well, the idea is that probably can at least muster together two good getaways out of the three guys here, right? Cuz
that's what we're hoping.
One is missing a back glass. Is that the back glass that you sourced out to uh John's Jukes?
That was Alaska, but I don't
Oh, right. That was Alaska.
I don't know if it's the EM version. [snorts]
Oh, right. got a So, it looks like this plunger was replaced at some point. So, I'm assuming that it was.
Yeah, cuz these ones are Allied Leisure.
These got the Allied Leisure. And I guess, you know, being plastic, after enough plunges, this spring gets compressed
or this tears right off
and then the plastic just smashes into bits. So, I guess we can assume that at least this guy
Well, this one has the metal plate as well.
Oh, yeah. Metal plate,
metal shooter,
the plastic shooter just snapped off eventually.
Metal plate, plastic shooter, and then this looks like original both. So, guess we can assume that uh these guys were operated. Let's take a peek in here. Oh, neat.
Oh, yeah. Oh, here we go. Let's see. We've got 13, I don't have my glasses. 355 plays on that,
which I believe that to be true. I don't imagine that was rolled, but who knows? It looks pretty clean in here.
You can see the board on the
Oh, yeah. There it is.
That's the power supply is kind of sitting on the bottom.
Oh, yeah. That guy there.
It'd be really funny if you dropped
little transformer. Oh my god, that would suck. There's a chime box. So, this is chimes, I guess. No sound board. And uh yeah, pretty different. This I did have an Allied Leisure cocktail machine. So, uh these sort of plastic mechs are kind of familiar from when I uh was messing with my what was that game called again? Hearts Spades. And uh our buddy Matt McGoffin still has that. Uh this one doesn't seem to want to move. But so the idea is that I might be um ending up with uh Getaway and or Getaways andor Alaskas. And I if so I will do like a full series on uh these machines trying to
feel like a full series is definitely warranted these things.
Absolutely. These guys need uh need to be documented. Let's see. Uh oh, here's another counter.
Are they not like attached to something else?
Uh for whatever reason, they are definitely not attached.
31,756 plays on this guy.
Hey.
Oh, we got it attached. This at all.
Yeah, Dutch. We need young eyes.
Let's see if this this guy see that guy works. 7,660.
Ah, okay.
We're in four digit territory.
Anyway, so that is uh the getaways.
I think that pretty much summarizes the the amount of stuff that you got. Uh except there is a
there is one more thing.
One other thing and it is the sort of the grand finale of this video. Let's go check it out. What do we know about this thing?
I [snorts] don't know. Let's see what it is first. Let's go have a look and see. Oh my god, it is so much more sparkly in real life. Wow. Okay, so if you don't know, this is uh Computer Space
from 1971, I believe.
This is the 73 two-player version.
Oh, right. They made four different colors, but they only made one color in the two-player version. So, this is even more rare. I think I read that they sold about 1,300 to 1,500 in total. So, also the fact that this has joysticks, I think, is uh makes it even a little more rare because they didn't all have joysticks, did they?
The single players only had buttons, and there was a two-player model with only buttons as well.
Oh, okay. Yeah, I thought so. Look at this thing. So, you sent me a couple photos and this looks like it was sitting out in the open. and it was covered in bird poo. And uh it looks like it cleaned up very well though.
Yeah, I I couldn't leave the bird poo. So I couldn't help yourself. This thing is incredible. According to Claw, the arcade version of Penside, there are apparently 20 people that have this particular model in their collection. So that is not a lot. This thing is so cool. I cannot believe this. I can't believe you got this. I didn't. The fact that it existed is one thing. [snorts] You heard rumors about it. And then uh
supposed to go in here
was actually there.
Oh, the instruction card.
Oh, cool. Computer space. One or two player. There's the instructions. I guess it didn't do so hot on location cuz it was very not intuitive. But I imagine at least with the joysticks, it's a little more easy to figure out. You want to read the instructions. [clears throat] Let's see. Uh, what do we got to do?
Insert quarter. Press two player if desired. Press start button. Two-player option must be selected before start button is pressed.
Okay.
And so I guess
here's our quarter slot right here.
You have to press the two player
and then start
then press start.
Player one's actually on this side, which is unintuitive, but player one, player two. That's
not exactly industry standard anymore.
Not at all.
In one player operation, player one is pitted against a computercont controlled saucer. In two-player operation, player one and player two are pitted against each other. In one player operation, outscore a computer controlled saucer for extended play.
Okay,
four rules.
There it is. There's
even teach you how to play. And then player two,
I believe the the original because it was Nolan Bushnell that created this.
He's the guy who like
invented Atari.
Atari. He's the Atari guy. Yeah. This was his uh pet project.
Yeah. So he did it and then they put it out like the first one I think they put out a bar and then uh to sort of test it
test it out
and then uh they got a call, you know, next day or something like that and your machine's broken. And so they went down to see what was going on and it was so full of quarters that it couldn't accept.
Oh, really? Oh, wow. It was that popular.
Yeah.
That's amazing.
So, how heavy is this thing? Cuz you guys just transported this from the garage to the arcade here.
Not very. It's mostly empty. And the tube's only 15 in, which is oddball size.
Yeah. Feels like a black and white TV or something.
Do you think that that is the original TV? I mean, I don't see why it wouldn't be.
Believe that's the original. It is the original. Unfortunately, someone gutted all the internal parts out of the monitor, so we have to source a new one.
Oh, really? Well, let's see. Uh,
it's literally a GT. It's a GE TV.
Oh, yeah.
They just stuck it in there.
Oh, [snorts] well, let's check it out here. There's a
Let's see. Let's see the guts.
Sure.
Oh, yeah. Uh, okay. So, it's been uh hacked up a little bit. And I don't know what else is supposed to be here. Is there anything else that's missing or
I think we have everything but the wiring
the monitor bits. Like that's the back of the of the TV that would go on this thing,
right?
So, we're missing a few monitor bits and a little bit of wiring harness,
but there's very little wiring in here.
Yeah, but all the boards.
We have all the boards.
Oh my god. It takes four of these giant circuit boards to run this thing. What? I believe the the one player versions only have three cuz this one's like the Sync Star 2 board. [laughter] Got the motion memory memory and the Sync star which I believe is for the second player, but I could be wrong.
Huh. Crazy. And then there's a little speaker.
Like the littlest
that that's about the smallest speaker.
And then they got holes just drilled.
Oh yeah.
I'm pretty sure that's how it originally is
probably. Oh, here's uh the serial number and stuff. Model number 7240, serial number 30580. Oh, and there's the Ontario Hydro sticker. This was operated at an arcade then somewhere in Ontario. And it was from Dale Distributing Limited, Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal. The manufacturer Oh, yeah. Is Nutting.
Yeah. Nutting and Associates,
right? Uh model is computer space. How incredible is that? There's a couple uh pieces of paper still. Original stuff here. What is this?
I believe it's just monitor controls.
Oh yeah. TV control location. Something over here.
I believe
to do with uh also monitor something or other.
Well, I believe that would be inside the TV. So now you're looking at the internals of what a GE TV from the 70s would look like.
Uh
cuz remember there's the back of it. It would just sit on the back here.
Yeah. Right. That's not part of the computer space, per se.
No.
Anything else in here? Did you find any other goodies?
Um nothing else that I could find.
Okay.
I may have to slightly build a wiring harness for this thing, but there's basically nothing in here.
Yeah, it shouldn't be that difficult. Is there any quarters in the coning box?
Haven't checked. Oh, there's a big lock on there.
I mean, don't hear anything. Doesn't feel too promising. Uh well, we won't be uh turning this on and testing it cuz uh obviously it
ain't no wiring left. And so I guess those slot into there.
It's a little misalign.
And then Oh, look at that. really been hacked off.
Well, I'm sure it could be brought back to its former glory.
It's just going to require a little bit of work.
There's this.
Oh, yeah.
I assume that goes in there.
Yep.
Parts.
Like I know what part they
having the boards.
The part they hacked off is still in here.
Oh, that's actually good.
Might be helpful. Might not. Looks like
probably goes right there.
Oh yeah, look at that. There it is. It's a perfect match.
What is this?
We're halfway there to
restoring it.
Well, the fact that it has the cabinet, it has the panels. It has all the parts. It has the boards
and in real nice shape, too.
