In today's video I thought I'd tell you a little bit about the unique pinball pick-up that I recently bought. About a year and a half ago I saw an announcement on Facebook Market Class about a guy who sold a fully-filled premium game field from the Jurassic Park. There was only a game field. No cabinets, nothing else, just a game field. And I thought, wow, that's a bit of a doubt. But he sold it for a price. And I wrote to him. I said, okay, I definitely want it. The guy said, cool, it's yours. You know, we'll meet at this address at this time. I replied, well, I'll be there in a couple of hours, but I'll definitely be there. It's been about 20-30 minutes and I'm about to, you know, get on the road and go to that place to pick him up and, wow, I get a message from Facebook Messenger. No, sorry, I sold him to someone else. And I thought, damn it, take it. You know, something slipped out of my fingers again. And recently on Facebook Market Plus I saw an announcement about the sale of a professional pinball machine Godil, and he also included a premium game field, Park of the Jurys period. It turned out that it was that guy, Hello Adam, who got the game field when the seller sold it to him, not me. And he, you know, replaced it with his pinball machine Godzilla. I thought, hey, I love both of these games, why not buy them? Two pinball machines for the price of one. So I thought I'd tell you about some updates, modifications that I made in both games. And the guys will share their thoughts. So when I brought it home, the first thing I did was, of course, clean everything. Replaced all the hoses, inserted titanium hoses that glow in the dark. I think this somehow corresponds to the theme of the, you know, atomic nature of Godzilla. Nice light. Bumper replaced the bottom. It was old, worn and needed replacement. And while I was doing this, I also replaced the bumper body with a transparent one. So I chose red, because, first of all, it's what I had at hand. And secondly, I think it's a good match with the nice red EE effect of the spray that's already built into the graphics. Installed a gray protection for the arrow Pairing of the Empire with the E-Effect of the flash, which is already built into the graphics. Installed the gray protection of the arrow's beam, so that it does not wear out anymore. E removed these projectors because they are no longer used as soon as I installed the pin lights These are the thin versions I installed a nice you know metal bracket then I installed glass channels So they are very easy to install and remove. They are simply attached with a magnet, but you know, illuminate the game field. They are very nice, thin, they are budget. I just adore them. They are in all my games. Eee, if we talk about all my games, I also put a side graphic here. This is the official graphic of Stern Zombie Yeti. Eee, all my games will always have a side graphic. I think it just finishes the look. I also replaced the protective cover here. Eee, the original one looked fine, but as soon as I started missing games, I looked at it more closely and this outer area of ​​the land was, you know, cut, cut into cubes and quite well broken. So he got a little stuck and caused some problems with missing games. I replaced it with a new one. And now I have no problems with missing games. Of course, Godzilla is supplied with plastic. I didn't like the plastic. Eee, this game was added to the figure of Super Sim Mecha Godzilla, which is beautiful, but it is of a burgundy color, so I took the figure of Bandai there. Looks good. Eee, I also replaced the original, you know, Godzilla. We have a illuminated atomized Godzilla, but it is somehow blocked because we turned on the lights at full power. The top and bottom are covered with silver powder paint. Also, they changed the molding so that it would correspond to gray, but you saw a lot of, you know, green Godzills, and I think it looks great in this game. But I liked the Godzill Lezmek theme, I really wanted to put it, so I chose the silver color, but here. I also installed the rails in the shape of ice cubes. I still need to change these buttons. I don't like the blue color. I just haven't decided whether I want black or any other color. Let me know in the comments what color you would choose for the buttons there But you know from top to bottom legs side rails fixator I almost bought a new metal gun and then I thought you know it just a waste In fact it is not necessary So the game is going great You know, obviously, the premium version has more turns, cool, you know, the building that dives, you know, the panda for Mechagodzilla and all that, but as for the shots and composing, I mean that I absolutely love this game just for the composition. So I really like this game. Also, I installed 5-inch, you know, Kynwood speakers. Renovated the subwoofer under the game console, using Boom Boom Spinball Life. Shaker motor. Even a powerful godzill couldn't save your backpack.

    I went further and created my own shooter in Mecha Godzill. I think it looks good. I stole it from my collection of action figures, so I put them there. The E-Electric Playground is the coolest nozzle, in my opinion, but the E-E they don't make it now. So the E-E I can break down and buy a hard one. I'm not the biggest fan of it, but in general, this is what I did, if short. Oh, yes, the Invis glass, but I took it off now so we could better look at everything. But you know, this is a renewal that I made for Godille. Now let's talk about the Park of the Jurian Period. Okay. And added a translation from the Jurassic Park. The game field is there. It looks incredibly bright because the lighting is just crazy. String 22. We still have body armor, branding and everything. I will make a separate case for this game field from Jurassic Park at some point. But you know, everything works exactly as it should. You just need to know to change a couple of connections. I installed a molex add-on for a double switch here, because the body obviously does not have a switch on the right side. The game is based on the original game and the game is based on the original game The first thing I wanted to do was to make a video about the protection of the shooter line which was only divided by this green one I just chose a green color to make it look a little more fun I replaced the truck The original truck Stern, as you can see, is quite boring. You know, it's not a jeep from the movie. So I chose a small, durable toy. It's almost the same size and everything is the same. It sits well, looks better, works great. I had to make a few adjustments. I've had to deal with a raptor because his hand got stuck there so he wouldn't fall down like a monkey. The details that were, you know, known problems of this game over the long period of time. But, you know, in less than 10 minutes I can replace the game field of Godzilla, add this. But, as I said, in fact, I will have a separate shelf for this premium game field, just because, you know, it's a great game. Eeeh, also running the movie code, because, you know, you absolutely need it, you must. I can't go back to the Yurtsk period online without Dennis Gray.
