hey, hey.
[music]
Okay, I'm at Shackleton Auctions in Springfield, Ontario, and I'm going to take you for a tour of a collection that's going to blow your mind. I'm Mike Dus, and [music] this is Pinball Shenanigans. [music] As you can see, London Pinball and the crew are here. Bunch of shenanigans. Came to check out the action live. And uh I'll show you what's happening. There's going to be just too much to take all in really in one, you know, sweep of the area. But I'll do my best. I'll kind of like start with. It's just insanity everywhere you look. Here's a bunch of shenaniganders. What's up? We got Corey, Kevin, Shny, and Shadic in the house fixing up some machines. Getting ready for the auction. I'm going to circle around here and try not to bump into anything. These guys are nervous. Me walking around. Okay, I'm telling you this. There's like 10,000 items in this auction. It's not all pinball and arcade. As you can see, there's a little bit of everything. This is just crazy. It's the KFC section. But let's get to the pinball and arcade stuff. Kind of I'll sweep around this back wall. So, there are some back glasses and a lot of the ones on this wall here appear to be new. Don't know for sure if it they are CPR repros or not, but you can see like even the little um glass uh protectors on Flash Gordon there. Star Trek Nitro. So, the auction is happening when, Cy?
March 28th is when the um first lot starts closing.
March 28th.
It's live live and online March 28th.
It will be live on March 28th and online.
And I think it's uh also on the 29th. Anyway, I'll put in a link in the description. and you can get the details, but it's happening soon because it is uh what is it today? Like March 6th, so we got like a few weeks, but bidding is going to be opening very soon. Look at this butterfly back glass by Sonic. Beautiful condition. This Star Trek backlass looks to be OG. Black Pyramid. I if I go through every single item, it's going to take me an hour. So maybe I'll uh pan through a little bit quicker. But we got EM back glasses, solid state back glasses, cool signs, Atari got and live nudes, neon nipples. Who doesn't love neon nipples? Alien poker. Trizone. Some cool old board games. Do you want to play Parker Brothers CB radio? I know I do.
We got I should uh not overlook all of the arcade or marquees as well. Some cool cigarette signage.
Something for everybody.
Okay. Um so I'll just tour around here. This Flash Gordon, I'd say that is an original. Um, in very nice shape. Harlem evil conval captain. Fantastic. Bow and arrow. Cool. Missile command sign. This is what I'll do. I'll make sure I'm not missing stuff cuz I feel like I already am. Some like Pac-Man tabletop glass. That looks to be new as well. World Cup circus from Gotautle.
Hyperball rapid fire.
All kinds of back glasses and mares. And then check this out. We got brand new Flash Gordon Playfield set. Uh I'm assuming CPR as well as brand new CPR Playfields. Playboy, Kiss, Nitro, Ground Shaker, Evil Conval, Star Trek, and you can see all the CPR uh stickers on there. And then there is some miscellaneous manuals. Tom Cat 6 million. I don't know if these are going to be auctioned separately, probably. But uh so you buy yourself a Flash Gordon machine. You can also get the manual, the playfields, back glass. Okay, let's pan back around here. These are some cool um bar stools. So, this is uh some of the arcade stuff. It looks like you're going to have to do a little bit of work on these if you want to purchase any. A lot of them are not working, but just kind of comes with the territory. That feels like a piece of glass.
I don't know what the issues are, but I'm sure that'll be laid out in more detail in the auction.
Three different Space Invaders. And then this is an interesting pile of
two bits. I've never heard of two bits. So, we got some
new old stock. Did he even set it up?
Maybe not old stock, but
not sure when these boards are from, but a bunch of new boards.
More boards here. Used boards. Looks like that might be arcade, but mostly pinball. Some displays. I imagine this will all be uh laid out and uh be individual lots. What do we got here? snoop around. Oh, power supplies. Very cool. And then some more arcade paneling here. Not sure what this is for. This is a Gotle soundboard. You know,
those are u kind of hard to come by. So,
lots of good stuff here. And then there's more boxes. Kind of want to snoop around. Uh, okay. Wow. wire clips, lane guides. I need like six of these actually. Flipper buttons. So, I don't know how if they're going to be selling these boxes. Is like, you know, one box at a time or they're going to lay out everything uh more circuit boards used and more [music] used circuit boards. There's some good stuff here. And one more box we got to snoop around in. What do we got in here? More circuit boards. Okay, that looks like uh arcade. Okay, so that's some of the the parts and arcade stuff. Now, we're going to pan around
to some of the pinball machines.
So, we got a Stern Alley and he bought one of these.
This is a good game. Let's see. See if we can fire a ball up here. Appears to be working. It's like Tommy. I can't see my flippers. Oh. Having a good ball here. Who needs to see the flippers? Sweep and drop targets. Free game. [snorts] Oh, ski jump and game over.
I'm just going to turn that off for now cuz it's going to just hum at me for ball two.
Okay, so we got totem that is uh
this is a game I don't know that I've ever played.
Cool looking game.
We got B's Playboy. What's going on over here, Cory Cookery?
Uh, nothing. Just going to do some social media.
Are you okay? Oh, doing a video of a video.
Okay, so we got Buck Rogers, Stern Stars. Oh, with the cool clear red transparent flipper bats. Gorgar,
fire power [snorts] skateball. OG eightball and this Valley Allstar Deluxe Bowler. Be kind of fun to play this. Where's the power switch? How do I turn this thing on? Corey.
Hey, who wants to go bowling?
I need a bowler.
Shnie, hey, you're a bowler. Uh oh, look what I found. All right, we got the machine plugged in here. Let's see what this Allstar Deluxe Bowler is about. See if we can add a credit here. Oh, look at that. We're live. Okay, this just rotates back and forth. You
got to be.
And then uh Oh, wait. Here's like a door handle.
Press lever to throw ball.
Press lever. Okay, here we go. Got to line it up. Whoa, that is a big ball. I wasn't expecting that. [laughter] This is Benzy's. [clears throat]
Yeah, I think this is um Benedict's.
Oh, you tickled the head pin.
Okay, here we go. Oh, strike. Anyway, this will be available at the auction as well. This is Gord's specialty. You want to give it a You want to give it a run?
I don't want to. He you'll do a one you'll pop up here. I got a three strikes in a row. Okay, let's go uh to around the other uh section. Show the boys and girls um the premium room. But as you can see, a whole lot of stuff in this room and this is just part of the action. So,
Okay, be prepared to have your mind blown. This is This room is just ridiculous. It's like die cast signage, gas pumps, and the Coca-Cola section. It is crazy. I cannot believe this. Most of this came from one collection. Look at these cool signs. Seven Up out. It's pretty cool. Look at this neon sign here. These are some big ones. Then this whole wall here. I'll tour down this aisle just a little bit before I take you to the uh other pinball room, an arcade room. I don't know these are these just like high-end restored originals probably. Can't imagine what something like this would go for, but probably a lot. It's incredible. Look at all these tractors.
Still,
what's that? still full.
Oh, wow.
Actual oil can.
That's crazy. And then there's the big sucker right there.
We'll tour down one of these aisles and then take you to the uh to the back room. And then Shaunie's got to show you some uh fireball skills. It's a pretty cool game, actually. Look at all these things. So, a little bit of everything. I don't know what half this stuff is, but it's cool. Okay, here we go. This is the premium room. Don't know my arcades that well, but we've got Stargate, Gyrus. I remember this on my Atari 2600. had some awesome tunes. Galaga, Sinestar, and Satan's Hollow. I think these possibly are pretty rare. Super Pac-Man, Robbitron. Okay, here's the pinball machines. We've got Space Invaders, Black Hole. I hear this black hole is in real nice shape. And uh it appears to be the case. The spinny wheel on the back works. Why don't you play one ball? I wasn't looking. And I can't look through my camera or else uh
Jason Zer.
Uh yeah. Yeah. If you want to pull off the Jason Zuller strategy, then you just go for that
left um saucer all day long. That's how we won. Uh oh, we're going down. That's how we won Pinberg. And now here comes our ball. Bye-bye. You lose. Hey, let's try some uh hyper ball. I didn't really turn on anything in the other room too much. All right, Shnie, I need you on Hyperbo. Oh, I guess uh it really is pretty much a oneplayer game cuz you turn one handle, the other turns with it. All right, give them both hands. There we go. This is how you play some hyperball. You got to kind of like follow the arrows that are pulsing across the screen. And uh that's how you like destroy waves. How cool is that though? That is awesome. Okay, let's uh move on. We'll do one ball and everything for fun. do one ball of uh F14. I'm not doing a very good job of like going through all the details on every machine, but I'll save that for Cory. He's pretty much put up a video on most machines talking about, you know, the condition, the boards, functionality. So, go check out London Pinball on the socials and you can see, all right, I I know how to fix that. All right, let's do uh one ball on F-14. F14 is a classic game. You got four flippers and uh so multiball game. Got to try and not drain instantly. Get the multiball going. Get all these lights going crazy. Get the music, the sounds. We got to spell tom cat is what we got to do. Nice nudge. And if we do that, then we need to hit the right orbit to lock a ball. Let's see if we can pull that off. We're uh we got one flipper each. Whoa. Yeah. Watch out for a Yag off. He's deadly. So, we did spell tom cat once. So, now our locked on light is on. So, let's see if we can uh nail a lock. Boom. fire.
Oh, all I hear is black hole. I can't escape it. Or can I? There we go. All right. Whoever's Whoever uh drains in their out lane loses. So, I'm going to intentionally fire for your out.
Okay. Actually, we'll go for the C. This
C right there is flashing.
Or the one up top.
Oh, yeah. Off. I saved us. Okay. Power that guy off. Let's move on to Fireball 2. I don't know that I've ever played this game, but it is got some Medusa elements. It's a second flipper button and a little post. That's what the button is for. This can save you. And it's got a little doodle bug guy in the middle so you can do some doodling. Third flipper up here, which is Medusa-esque as well. And it's got a pretty awesome sound package. So, you got the the little demon button for the demon kicker. So, you're responsible for that. I'm responsible for the uh nice nudge for the upper flipper. Three sets of drop target banks. Yeah. Oh, the oneway gate blocked me. Oh, doodle. Fireball bonus. What did you do last time to light that lock?
I think I
hit some drop targets.
Okay, get ready for some demon kicker. No, that's not what I wanted. But yeah, watch this. You hit this side button.
Oh, and he makes little fun sound effects, too, when you uh hit it. Oh, and you have uh I was just going to say use up the last uh you got so many uh little demon button options before you run out and you have to probably earn more. All right, let's try uh some Hulk.
Try try a game of Hulk here. A ball. We'll do one ball on each that Robbitron. Does that work?
I don't know.
That'd be cool. Nudging trying to play split flipper robbitron.
Okay, let's uh check out some Flash Gordon.
I need a I need a right flipper. I'm going to have to play onehanded. Oh, wait. Here's comes Shny to the rescue. Nice. Good timing. [music] So, we got two playfields of action here. Two sets of drop targets. I lied. Three sets of drop targets. It's going [music] super slow.
It's uh pitched fairly low, so it's not so deadly. All right, go for the upper skill shot here. That saucer sometimes kicks down and sometimes kicks up. So that's pretty cool. There is like a 2x and 3x playfield multiplier on this game. We want those drop [music] targets on the right like that to increase our bonus multiplier. But anyway, let's flash Gordon. Let's try a ball of Hulk. gotly late7s two axes in it.
And it's a real nice looking playfield and back glass. I like the green flipper rubbers. Sound package is not quite as enthralling as Flash Gordon. Should have played Hulk first. Going from fireball sound package to Flash Gordon to to Hulk.
2X lights.
Okay. Oh, I see. Yeah, you're right. Good eye. Good eye. Well, you got a light bulb out. Uh, so now we want to try and plunge the lit lane. So, it must be on 2x right now. That builds your bonus multiplier. All right. Okay. We're done with Hulk. I played Ali. Let's play a quick ball of evil conval. Playfield has some wear and back glass looks to be pretty minty, but I imagine this will go for uh quite a pretty penny cuz it's evil conval. I mean, a lot of the pinball machines are licensed themes. Sean's really testing out that flipper and appears to be working.
10 cents or 10 points. Hey, are you getting 10 points a flip? Oh, you're getting 1,000. No. Oh, yeah. We We'll add that to the uh Corey to-do list. Okay, enough. [laughter] I'll punch. Whoever gets the lit spinner first is the winner. Okay. So, it's going to change. I need it to be on the right side. You need it to be on the left side. Oh, you almost got it. Oh, okay. I I'll hit my spinner and hopefully eventually change where the light is. There it is. Now it's on my side. Ah, we're both losers. There's some evil conval and kiss. Let's check out some KISS. Oh, there we go. So, this is uh you know about average for a KISS. Playfield's got some wear, but you can buy yourself a new Playfield.
Nice back glass.
Yeah, back glass is looking good. I don't really see any wear. It's got the mirrored effect to it. Same with evil conval. All right. Do we have credits? We need credits. So when you plunge, you want to go down the middle cuz that will give you a row of it'll spell kiss for you and it'll also open this gate which will give you protection. So got the cute startup tune there. We missed the skill shot. I forgot what lights the spinner, but there's two spinners. And you just want to be uh ripping them all day long when they're lit. Spell some kiss. Spell some kisses along the way. That's good for your bonus. Hit ABC CD on the right. Uh I think first time gives you a 2x bonus. Second time gives you an extra ball. We need to get that middle lane up top. Even if it's not lit. Or no, wait. All right, let's see if you can plunge this middle lane. It's the plunge that saved pinball right here. Yes. Oh, three times. Look at that. Getting two kiss completion.
Oh, it's on your side.
Oh, yeah. Okay. Lit spinner game reactivated. We each got a spinner. It's on Shaunie's side. Oh, nice save there. Nice save. Oh, we need to sign up for the split flipper world pinball championship tournament. Okay, there actually isn't one, but there should be. Oh, he almost got one. Oh, we got the gate open. We got safety on the right. Aloop. Oh.
[laughter]
Oh, again we both lose.
I tilted.
Okay, $6 million man. Let's check this out. We got a ball here. We got the post up. So hopefully um the post will pop down once we turn it on. If not, we'll throw it on the uh Cory's to-do list here. It appears as though this needs to be down. There we go. All right. Okay. So, I just had to latch it down. Okay, you ready for some $6 million man? You can play uh six players on this thing. Valley was just converting over to seven uh digit displays. So, they're like, "What are we going to do with all these six-digit displays? We got so many of them." They're like, "Let's do $6 million, man. It adds seven displays in every machine. Get rid of our excess inventory. We're uh blowing up the game here. We haven't even flipped yet. This is good for uh every saucer there, I believe, increases our bonus multiplier. There's 5x. We're at 5x before even flipping. And at 19,000 * 5, you don't. It's the machine that plays itself.
It's 10,000 every time.
You don't You don't need any flippers on this game. Plus 10,000. Let's see how many points we can get before we hit a flipper. Okay, here we go. 33 33,000 points. Pretty impressive. And now we've got at least 20,000 in bonus. That was a nice little tap pass.
Ready.
Okay, he's going to tap to me. Oh, a little too much. Uh, there's $6 million man. What are you doing? Oh, just so you know, this post.
I know.
Didn't latch.
I know.
But look at this bonus.
Not bad.
Anyway, that is the premium room. Pretty amazing. I don't think it's yours.
And uh Hey, does Robbitron work?
Yes.
Oo. Let's try a game. We're going to try a split split joystick game on Robbitron. Check it out. Robbitron want me to play
is working. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Do a demo. And uh if you happen to be smoking, check it out. You can uh use the built-in ashtray right there. I've got that same one in my basement.
All right. Let's see some Robbitron action here. This is one of the best games. Pressure's on.
I love this game.
I've had probably five rootrons over the years.
Oh, have you?
I remember playing this in the OG arcades back in the day 80s. This was the go-to game. One of them. And it just gets crazy. Cory has probably played 10,000 games of this.
Oh, yeah. Oops.
You've got like
a billion free men. I was going to say, how'd you get so many?
That's the settings are that's how it's set.
Okay.
And it's not that's not the way you would want to leave it.
Yeah, we don't need you to be playing this game for an hour long.
No,
but just a Oh, I love this.
This is the This is the the free man getter board.
Okay, I forgot about this phase. Got to collect all the women. Got to pick up all the chicks. Don't let him get destroyed.
No.
Oh, he didn't get them all. Fail. It just gets more and more intense. Like this is you against like 100 opponents all firing at you at the same time.
There you go. Robbitron. Shnie or Kevin.
I need a right hand, man. We're going to do split joystick action on Robbitron. So, I'm moving, right? And you're the uh you're the guy firing. Look at that. That's not too bad. Okay. Woo, baby. How did we survive that? [laughter] It's kind of actually easier to play split joystick cuz I can focus on one thing instead of two things. Oh,
you said that. Now we're like,
yeah, right. This is a fun phase, too. Never go into the corners. Corners are bad.
Talk about all the pinball machines and arcade games. Okay. Oh, yeah. I got to collect some dudes, too, while I'm at it. Oh, okay.
Terrible.
All right, I'm done. Robbitron.
So, we got some more social media action happening over here.
We got Shadic, the London Pinball Apprentice.
He's the Doorchester branch of London Pinball.
He's doing a good job.
The field has some wear up the middle. The motherboard really should be replaced. The um uh power supply has some interesting wiring.
All right, I'll get out of their hair. Anyway, I hope I somewhat sufficiently showed off what is going to be happening in this auction here. I figure I'll do one more quick walk around in the other room cuz I'm sure I've missed lots of stuff. And um you know you can kind of like oh see like this whole row of mini arcade games here. That is adorable. Got this fun boxing toy. But yeah, one last walk around in this room and then uh we'll wrap it up. Oh yeah, see I just spotted some stuff that I missed. So, you can see the skateball playfield now cuz it was covered with uh stuff. We got Cory's to-do list on the machines, description of everything that's going on with these guys. So, he's going to do his best to get everything working as good as he can between now and auction time. But, we got uh some more stuff over here. An onbeam ballet EM head. One of these skills stop um slot machines with tokens. A cocktail machine here. What is it? It is Pac-Man. Got more boxes. What's in the boxes? Oh, yes. I saw these earlier. This is good stuff right here. $6 million man. Brand new plastic set. Harlem Globe Trotters. Playboy. These are to go with all those playfields, right? If you want to do a full restoration, you can get the plastics, you can get the back glass, and you can get the playfield and the machine all here. Star Trek, Evil Conval. This bag's a little bit open, so I'm trying not to spill. Uh, pop bumper parts. Nitro ground shaker. Look at all this. This looks like Flash Gordon pop bumper caps. Flash Gordon plastic set. So, pretty much all the plastics to match all of the playfields. Put that back in there. Now, if that one box is getting sold as one lot, that'll be a good one. And in this one, we got Williams soundboard or two from like uh Williams system 3 through 7. that range there of soundboard. This feels pretty light. So, I think there's nothing in that. And over here there is a ice review wedge head backbox from Gotautle.
Has anyone seen [clears throat] a
Gotautle skyline
head? And a Gotautle gold star head. This is an old wood rail.
So, just good for art or uh potentially even parts if you uh need some score reels or miscellaneous EM bits. Uh I imagine all this all these circuit boards will be up for sale as well. What is this? This is a a Gotautle system one driver board possibly.
I'm going to get this off to Mike
anyway. final walk around.
Yes.
And coming in a few days, you'll be able to um
Yes.
log in to Shackleton's auctions online.
And start placing your bids
on anything you like.
I think you have to pick it up by the uh the Monday after the auction.
[snorts]
And don't quote me, but I think they might offer shipping possibly,
but you'll have to go to their website to find out for sure.
Stern pinball, Bali pinball,
Bates Motel,
some gas signage,
you want some glass heads,
we've got glass heads in various different colors and long boards.
But yeah, these playfields
are gorgeous. And with the CPR kind of
winding down the business,
they're might be a little harder to get or you might have to wait a little bit longer
or you buy those. Anyway, that's about uh everything for this video. So, hope you enjoyed. try and win some stuff and uh good luck at the auction. Oh, apparently this stuff will not be available in the auction. This all belongs to Cory. You cannot bid on that. Corker is okay. The okay refresher fingerlicking good Kentucky Fried Chicken lampshades. Ladies,
Winston, how good is it?
Oh, no. How good it is?
Flick my pick.
Uh again, go to shackbid.com starting March 7th. Uh, auction ends.
I pulled the fire alarm. I didn't think it would actually make any noise, though. Space Invaders. Check out Cory's skills here.
Man, if you were a teenager in 1977, you were masturbating all over this
and you'd have to wait in line to do so.
This was a popular game. Where's that blimp? Here it is. Right on. Q. Come on. Oh, nailed it.
Shny boy. Uh, get your face out of there.
Shiny boy busting up some asteroids here. Check it out.
Oh, did you teleport into a rock?
I did.
Turning on Tron for the first time here.
We got some cool lighting, though.
It's complete.
Oh, it's trying.
It's trying.
We got some signs of life.
Cory's working on this Galaxian and had the coin door open. So, I went snooping around and look what I found. [crying] Oh, yeah.
This game looks like it just rolled off the factory floor. And I am not even kidding. It looks amazing. It barely looks like it's been played. Like, I don't know that it's been if it's been restored or if it's just all original, but it just looks so good.
Let me tell you, that is a real big ball.
Seven up. You like it, it likes you.
