    I'm Mike Dus and this is Pinball Shenanigans. All right. Today I'm heading over to the Grazley garage. Still working on this $6 million man, I guess. Um, you know, they were working on it yesterday and it's a it's a mess. It was set to Lost World, which was the first problem, but they set it to $6 million man, and then it started locking on a slingshot solenoid. I don't know what's going on, but I'm bringing a backup Altech solenoid driverboard. I suspect that it might be something to do with that. Maybe we need to change a transistor. Whatever. We got to get the $6 million man up and running. JC's eagerly awaiting. And it would be nice to uh get a gameplay video out cuz I am heading out of town tomorrow to Maple Pinball for the spring spectacular weekend. It is a certified event. There's about five tournaments, there's pin golf, there's uh match play, there's women's, there's pump and dump, aka herb. Anyway, last kick at the can here today before I head out of town and hopefully we can get this thing up and running cuz I know Smitty especially wants to see a gameplay video. All right, back at the Grazley garage. What's happening? We got Mr. Rob Pier here. Mad scientist. >> Hi, shenanigans.
    1:58
    Hi, shenanigans.
    1:58
    Hi, shenanigans. >> Yo, what are you doing?
    2:01
    Yo, what are you doing?

    Yo, what are you doing? >> Trying to make this thing [ __ ] light
    2:03
    Trying to make this thing [ __ ] light
    2:03
    Trying to make this thing [ __ ] light up again. >> All right. Well, we did try and light it
    2:07
    All right. Well, we did try and light it
    2:07
    All right. Well, we did try and light it up earlier and uh it didn't fully light up, but that's why Rob's here. He's going to try and get this thing going 100%. In the meanwhile, what the heck's going on with this thing? Uh, is it plugged in? >> No.
    2:22
    No.
    2:22
    No. >> Okay,
    2:23
    Okay,
    2:24
    Okay, for now, basically, when you turn it on, the right slingshot locks on. >> If it's in uh $6 million, man, if it's
    2:33
    If it's in uh $6 million, man, if it's
    2:33
    If it's in uh $6 million, man, if it's set for $6 million man, if it's set for something else, then does something else lock on? >> No, it it boots up. It kind of goes into
    2:42
    No, it it boots up. It kind of goes into
    2:42
    No, it it boots up. It kind of goes into a track mode. >> Okay. Well, there's definitely some
    2:44
    Okay. Well, there's definitely some
    2:44
    Okay. Well, there's definitely some gremlins to work out and uh that's what we're going to try and do today. Okay, we got the machine plugged in and it's currently set for $6 million man, I'm assuming. >> Um, no.
    2:56
    Um, no.
    2:56
    Um, no. >> No. Okay. Well, let's let's let's demo
    2:59
    No. Okay. Well, let's let's let's demo
    2:59
    No. Okay. Well, let's let's let's demo the uh symptoms here. So, >> this is I think Lost World.
    3:03
    this is I think Lost World.
    3:03
    this is I think Lost World. >> Okay, we're set for Lost World. Powering
    3:04
    Okay, we're set for Lost World. Powering
    3:04
    Okay, we're set for Lost World. Powering it on. And it does boot up. Whoa. Hey, different sound effect this time. That was cool. Good looking attract mode. Before we were having all the crazy lights because we forgot this jumper, but that jumper is there now. So, no more flicker. Okay. So, now you say that if you were to uh switch it to lost, I mean uh $6 million man. So, now power it on.
    3:46
    And sure enough, it locks on. So that's a very bizarre symptom. 2024 Altech. Okay, it's not that old. So this is what the inside of a giant neon sign looks like. It's probably just a fuse, right? >> It's just a fuse.
    4:02
    It's just a fuse.
    4:02
    It's just a fuse. >> Repin the connectors. That's all you got
    4:04
    Repin the connectors. That's all you got
    4:04
    Repin the connectors. That's all you got to do. All right, you ready? Test number one. New solenoid driver board. Kevin's got to hold this in place so that uh it doesn't >> No fire
    4:13
    No fire

    4:17
    short anything. We don't need any fires.
    4:17
    short anything. We don't need any fires. All right, let's see what happens. No locked on solenoid, please. M. That seems like an improvement. We didn't get any like bootup tunes or anything, but all right. I don't know if we have any credits. How's the displays looking? Whoa. Displays are not looking good at all. They are all messed up. Are we even booted up properly? Maybe we're not booted up properly. Trying to add a credit. Oh no. Okay. >> Didn't give you the boom.
    4:49
    Didn't give you the boom.
    4:49
    Didn't give you the boom. >> That's weird. All right.

    4:54
    I don't know that that's an improvement.
    4:54
    I don't know that that's an improvement. All right. There's just so many weird symptoms going on with this machine that I can't even uh describe them all. I just finished repinning this connector here. Dutch repinned a bunch of connectors, but there's just so much weirdness going on with the displays, with solenoids, with >> he knows this

    he knows this
    5:18
    he knows this >> the machine
    5:20
    the machine
    5:20
    the machine like giving seven flashes but not actually booting up. Uh, I got all the displays reconnected. Everything is reconnected. We're going with the original solenoid driver. All voltages are good. And we're going to power this on. I just got to clean up my mess. One moment. >> I like how your Adam's family has
    5:39
    I like how your Adam's family has
    5:39
    I like how your Adam's family has literally become an ext. Dude, >> you want to go on a duck hunt? Dutch hit

    you want to go on a duck hunt? Dutch hit
    5:47
    you want to go on a duck hunt? Dutch hit another duck. I'll give you a hint. It's in Ripley's. >> Okay,

    5:54
    that's what he told me, but I haven't looked yet. Where is it? Where is it? Whoever spots it first wins. Where is it? Kevin's in the game now. >> No, I know where it is. Oh, okay. Well,
    6:06
    No, I know where it is. Oh, okay. Well,
    6:06
    No, I know where it is. Oh, okay. Well, Dutch hit it pretty. >> I'm putting mine on my slingshots.

    You know he's going to put it somewhere difficult, >> huh?
    6:17
    huh?

    6:29
    Okay, I win the duck hunt. Okay, so
    6:29
    Okay, I win the duck hunt. Okay, so playfield is cleaned up and connector repinned. Let's see what happens.
    6:44
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7
    6:44
    1 2 3 4 5 6 7 >> All zeros again.
    6:46
    All zeros again.
    6:46
    All zeros again. >> That's weird.
    6:48
    That's weird.
    6:48
    That's weird. And we do not have a track mode. So that basically did absolutely nothing. So, this connector's repinned. Did you say these two? >> Yep.
    7:00
    Yep.
    7:00
    Yep. >> These two.
    7:03
    These two.
    7:03
    These two. These two. A few on this connector. Um, but still, we have nothing. All right. This is the weirdest game ever. We can get this game to boot up in, you know, games other than $6 million. Man, don't know what what game this is set to. I just threw the dip switches in some random setting and name that tune.
    7:37
    So that boots up just fine. Look, track mode displays are not all messed up. Okay, so let's try a different switch.
    8:02
    This is fun. I want to play it one more time. Let's try uh this switch. Do we got anything? >> Oh, you broke it.
    8:11
    Oh, you broke it.
    8:11
    Oh, you broke it. >> Oh, game over.
    8:14
    Oh, game over.
    8:14
    Oh, game over. Okay, so this game will boot up in games other than $6 million man. Don't know what game this is, but we've got a track mode. Displays are fine, minus the two extra displays, which are not used.
    8:38
    And what was the other one we did? Just throw some random dip switch settings on there
    9:00
    So, boot it up. Track mode. We're in game play. These sound effects are amazing. But it's Wow, that's great. >> That's
    9:14
    That's
    9:14
    That's >> So it's not going to do that.

    Okay, Harlem. It's Harlem. Oh, slingshots are triggering the pop bumper still. That pop's triggering that pop. That Oh, knocker. That's awesome. What about this?
    10:43
    Okay.
    10:44
    Okay. No spinner. Uh, drop targets. Nothing. Flippers. Do we have flippers yet? No flippers. So, similar behaviors. So, it's got to be wiring. I mean, it's got to be wiring most likely. All right, I guess I'm going to give up for now on this problem here because I don't know. I can't figure it out and I'm going to have to do some more research. So, basically, $6 million man ain't working. This ain't working. Not having a lot of forward progress today. We can at least go possibly check out Slugfest and see the other art blade. That'll be our progress for the day. It's an epic fail on $6 million man. Epic fail on the neon sign. >> We got part of it lit, not all of it.
    11:48
    We got part of it lit, not all of it.

    Not a lot of progress happened today,
    12:01
    Not a lot of progress happened today, except for Slugfest. It's got our blades. It was a long time coming. You were waiting for like, what' you say? >> Six, seven weeks.
    12:12
    Six, seven weeks.
    12:12
    Six, seven weeks. >> Six or seven weeks for these things to
    12:14
    Six or seven weeks for these things to
    12:14
    Six or seven weeks for these things to show up. And there they are. They're installed. They look amazing. And at least that is uh forward progress. And here's what it looks like with the playfield installed. Yeah, that is a baseball world under glass. And hopefully we'll uh get to play this game before it leaves.
    12:49
    I am back from the spring spectacular at Maple Pinball. It was a 3-day pinball extravaganza. Man, it was a lot of pinball, but it was fun. I bombed out in the classics. I placed sixth in the pinolf, which I'm pretty happy about. And I ended up in fourth in the main event. And the final four was myself, Jack Tadman, Carter Castleman, and Phil Burnbomb, like allstar Canadian group minus myself. And uh I ended up I took a like a third on Blackout, a last on Fishtails with couple hundred mil, and I think I took a second on taxi, but just not enough. had opportunities there, but blew a couple like monster fish and jackpots. But I'm happy with that result. One of my best results ever. So anyway, I'm back and since I have been gone, a few things have happened over at the Grazley garage. The Crispy Cream sign Rob Vieiraa has fixed. So, we're going to check that out finally in working condition. Also, the $6 million man issues that we were having are finally resolved. And that is now that should be uh playable. So, we can check that out. And what else? $6 million. Oh, Slugfest is now done. So, I want to check that out. Also, Rob Vieira ended up like finding a deal and passing it on to me for a pinball machine. So, yet again, while I was away, I had a pinball machine dropped off at Kevin's by Rob for me, and I'm going to check it out when I am there. It is one of the greatest games of all time. Williams, what's it called again? Uh, Trizzone. Yeah, that one. you know the game. You love the game and now I own it. So, going to go check it out, pick it up, get it out of Kevin's garage, and take it over to storage. So, that's what's going on today. I'll take you along for the ride. All right, let's see what's going on in the Grazy Garage. Oh, by the way, um there was a dude, Daniel Sheen, shout out, that was wearing a Grazy Garage hoodie at Maple Pinball. And I think um there was uh more people wearing Grazley Garage hoodies than Pinball Shenanigans hoodies. So uh you outnumbered me. All right, here we go. We got uh the Trizone Project. We'll check that out in a minute. We've got Night Rider setup. Another game in the queue here. Definitely uh a beater, but it's got a new playfield. Someone peeled off some myar. Why would anybody stick a myar there? That's kind of weird to protect that area. Like that's a clearly a slingshot myar that that one's still on there. And yeah, anyway, all all kinds of myar all over the place. Another one there. But this will be a wall hanger cuz the new playfield is right there. And you know, got a couple boards. Oh yeah, check this out. Couple repairs. That is some serious leopage right there. Stacking on some resistors and whatever that is. Also another resistor. But yeah, so Night Rider is in the queue. And then over here we've got some uh Tales of the Arabian Knight playfield swappage happening. Look at this.

    Just the the new clear coat just reflects beautifully in the light. That is going to be shiny and beautiful. Xenon is still awaiting its turn. And also uh you tore apart my Twilight Zone.
    17:21
    So, that is happening as well. There's the playfield. I'm excited to see if these gumballs that I brought you actually work. >> I'm sure they'll work.
    17:29
    I'm sure they'll work.
    17:29
    I'm sure they'll work. >> Yeah, cuz I don't really know what this
    17:30
    Yeah, cuz I don't really know what this
    17:30
    Yeah, cuz I don't really know what this looks like. Oh, you just got to kind of squeeze them in there. >> Yep.
    17:34
    Yep.
    17:34
    Yep. >> Uh, that's no biggie.
    17:38
    Uh, that's no biggie.
    17:38
    Uh, that's no biggie. No problem. Um, Chinese checkers marbles for uh five bucks basically. Perfect. >> Yeah. And then here is the uh trizone
    17:50
    Yeah. And then here is the uh trizone
    17:50
    Yeah. And then here is the uh trizone that Rob Vieira brought. And um first time really looking at it. I had a few photos, but it actually looks pretty good. Hey, look. It looks like even new drop target decals. A rubber shop job in uh relative recent times. They don't look too bad. I mean, they've been done. Playfield is in decent shape. Little bit of wear, but I had a trizone recently and um this is in way better shape. Not sure what's going on here. Oh, it's delaminating. A little bit of scotch tape will uh will do you good there, but no biggie. That's fine. Cabinet looks okay for the most part. And can't really see the back glass. It is uh wrapped up. So Rob Vieira said there is a surprise in the machine for me. I don't I think he said in the machine, but maybe he meant in the box. >> Not in the box.
    18:56
    Not in the box.
    18:56
    Not in the box. >> Not in the box. You know what the
    18:58
    Not in the box. You know what the
    18:58
    Not in the box. You know what the surprise is? >> You do.
    19:00
    You do.
    19:00
    You do. >> Oh yeah. Okay. So is this something I'm
    19:03
    Oh yeah. Okay. So is this something I'm
    19:03
    Oh yeah. Okay. So is this something I'm going to discover once I set up the thing? >> Probably.
    19:08
    Probably.
    19:08
    Probably. Oh, old uh master display. Oh, wow. All kinds of miscellaneous parts. Oh, so must be new pop bumper caps. Does it look like new plastics in there, too? Hm. Let's see. Oh, yeah. Look at that. These are new plastics as well. Bonus. Got to like that. So, even better than I expected. It is new skirts. I was suspecting new skirts.
    19:42
    Right on. Okay, not bad at all. So, if I open the uh coin door, will I discover this surprise?
    19:54
    You don't know where it is.
    19:54
    You don't know where it is. >> You don't know where it is. Okay. This
    19:56
    You don't know where it is. Okay. This
    19:56
    You don't know where it is. Okay. This might be something that I discover when I set it up. Or let's see what we got in here. It's uh Minnie Mouse in pajamas. Thank you, Rob. That is very adorable. I'll have to find a spot in the basement for that. Let's grab Minnie Mouse out of here. There we go. Lovely gift, Rob Vera. That is worth the extra money I paid you. All right, there's some progress actually. Uh Slugfest is finished. $6 million man. Is it basically finished or we got to do some uh play testing and >> Oh yeah, it needs a little bit of
    20:40
    Oh yeah, it needs a little bit of
    20:40
    Oh yeah, it needs a little bit of tweaking, but >> it's finally working though.
    20:49
    All of the bugs were worked out. So yeah, it turns out that on the Altech MPU, apparently dip switches 31 and 32 need to be off in order for $6 million man to boot up into a track mode properly. So, I don't know how we would have ever figured that out on our own. Thank you, Andrew Spitler and a couple other people that mentioned that in the pinball repair help group. So, once we got it to boot up, then we were chasing down all kinds of other gremlins. We were checking wiring and diodes. Uh, turned out to be none of those things. Unfortunately, the uh solenoid driver board that we thought was working perfectly wasn't. There was a bad chip on it. So, between those two things, it should actually be playable now. Let's hear the startup tune.
    21:49
    There we go. Finally. You know how many hours we put into figuring this out between Corey, Kevin, myself, probably Dutch? A lot of hours. So, there you go, JC. It finally boots up and doesn't lock on solenoids and apparently even works. So, let's give her a try.
    22:22
    You'll have to watch my uh tutorial on this game, figure out how to play it. I will have to watch it cuz I uh
    22:34
    kind of forget a little bit loud. Finally. All the gremlins. So many gremlins. I mean, oh yeah, I just put that on there. I say I ran out of screws. >> There's a reason why you uh took it off.
    23:04
    There's a reason why you uh took it off.
    23:04
    There's a reason why you uh took it off. Oh, the up post and down post is working as it should. Beautiful.
    23:18
    Got the uh custom Rob Vieiraa spinner decals are beautiful. Drop targets. Yeah. So, we got to like spell 50,000. We got to go in the saucer for multipliers. We got to rip some spinners, build some bonus.
    23:46
    So rewarding after uh fighting with it for so long. Eh is now the $6 billion man. started as about a 6 cent million dollar man 6 cent fan
    24:16
    I mean there was really not much that you could have used or that you used from uh the donor machine. I call it a donor machine because you couldn't even use the original cabinet.
    24:33
    Thank you, Matahari, for uh sacrificing your body. Having a heck of a ball here. This is still ball one. All right, we need that five. Let's get the five. Top left.
    24:53
    Oh, I jinxed myself. That is playing great, man. I I didn't notice a single issue yet. Couple flaky lights we got to fix. But >> rollover buttons are good.
    25:06
    rollover buttons are good.
    25:06
    rollover buttons are good. >> I was afraid you'd have uh some issues
    25:08
    I was afraid you'd have uh some issues
    25:08
    I was afraid you'd have uh some issues with this up down post cuz they can be a pain in the ass,
    25:17
    but it's working great, too. Oh, it's on five ball. >> Oh, is it?
    25:20
    Oh, is it?
    25:20
    Oh, is it? >> No, this is ball three.
    25:21
    No, this is ball three.
    25:21
    No, this is ball three. >> I know, but Oh, it is on five ball,
    25:23
    I know, but Oh, it is on five ball,
    25:23
    I know, but Oh, it is on five ball, though. Okay. That's right. It might take me that many balls to get that number five. We got to change it, but I didn't realize that yesterday.
    25:42
    There it is. Yeah. All right. So, now that last drop target would have given me special, but I blew it. Okay. Now, let's try and get max multiplier by hitting the saucer. I think it was a total of four times. Let's see. Oh, slip through. No. How do you open that gate? I forgot. There's no idea. That's up post. These are down posts.
    26:27
    I don't know how long. Uhoh. All right. So, I got 2x now. Why didn't it give me 3x? I think it did, but I think Okay, so let's go for a 3x then.
    27:19
    Ripple on the fly. Come on. 3x. Oh, now 2x. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. First one doesn't give it to you. Oh, it's like set for difficult.
    27:43
    Oh, I scored at eight. Yeah, this thing is uh playing great, man. Very uh few gremlins to work out here. >> Yeah, it's just the light to the
    27:50
    Yeah, it's just the light to the
    27:50
    Yeah, it's just the light to the biggest. >> And look at that. All the displays, too.
    27:54
    And look at that. All the displays, too.
    27:54
    And look at that. All the displays, too. They were glitching out as well, but it is finished basically. All right. And then moving on, we have slugfest. It is complete minus the uh flasher socket that I just brought you. It's got one flasher socket to go and then um this will be 100%. This will be moving out of the Grazley garage soon, I'm sure. So, we'll have to get one more quick game on this before it leaves. Coin door is just amazing. I love it. Okay, so ready for uh a game of slugfest. Look at this display panel. So nice. Now the before this whole edge was like worn pretty much off. This thing is just beautiful. All right, let's go. Two players.
    29:00
    The customer is going to have to buy a color DMD for this thing. We'll just step this up even one more notch. Okay, so remind me I just got to uh This is the bat, right? And then I can >> do pinch hit.

    29:40
    Hey, don't heckle me.
    29:40
