Coming to you from beautiful upstate New York, this is the Slam Tilt Podcast, a show about all things pinball. All in all, I'm your host Ron Hallett, here with my co-host Bruce Nightingale. Allentown baby, in less than two weeks. That is true. And welcome to episode 40, The World Is Not Enough. Oh my. Oh my, which I actually did see that one. Wow. That's the one I remember where he's like protecting the woman who was kidnapped by this dude, but she's actually in on it with the dude and something like that. Best Bond Girl Ever. And she had like a missing ear or something. Yes. Best Bond Girl Ever. Oh, okay. What's the name? Denise Richards. Before, this is pre-Charlie Sheen. Oh. Okay. Oh my, oh my, oh my. Before she was wrecked and ruined and everything like that. Written in art, put away in a minute. By his tiger blood? Yeah. Did she? Yeah. Tim Kitzrow, Loser Kid Pinball Podcast. Did you like our list? I should I use my name my fictional name Stu McVicker? Yeah go ahead. Stu McVicker. Yes and my my name is a Bendover. Gee I haven't I've never seen that on a porn forum before. Nope but I am the owner of Swankarama Video. If it ain't swanky it ain't my video. Swankarama. Yes I've had that name for a company for about 30 years so that tells you how my mind is gone. Really? Oh really? Really? Really. Wow. 30 years. Have you, you should trademark that. Uh, why? Swank-a-rama, although that's probably already been trademarked. I don't know, let's check. Are you checking? Yes I am. Okay, okay, this is very important. This is very important pinball related stuff here. So it is. We gotta see if Swank-a-rama is available. Hey, this is the Bob Betor Podcast, and you're listening to the Bob Betor Podcast, the Bob Betor Podcast, the Bob Betor Podcast, the Bob Betor Podcast. We're back to pinball. We're talking about smack-a-rama and porn and yeah, we're back to pinball. And chicks. We were talking about chicks for a few minutes. Yeah. We were just going over our numbers before the show. Very, very impressive guys and girls. Very impressive. The downloads have blown my mind officially. Officially blown your mind. Like I said, if more than 10 people listened, I'd be impressed. Well, let's times that by... Well, we won't say, but let's times that by something. Thank you, everyone. Thanks again to Steph for- Yes, she was a great guest last week. I will be seeing her at the tournament this weekend, which we'll go into later, but thank you, Steph. Oh, and she sent me a little thing right after it ended. You won't get this, because this is a Mystery Science Theater thing. Because we were talking about that after it ended, and Bruce is there like, guys, I'm out. Kindly share, share, share This is becoming a very hot topic on that forum that we... Yeah, yeah. I don't. The side pin? Side, side, pinny, pinny... I think it's just argue. It might as well put pinball argument. Pinball, no, no, a lot of it's not even about pinball. Just put argument. Yeah, God. So, I guess Stern, we're having cabinet issues? Yes, they're having cabinet issues with new cabs splitting. That doesn't sound good. I don't know. That doesn't sound good. Yeah, and uh, I called my distributor today to see how he was doing and he didn't return my call. Bummer. I know, especially when I have a machine ordered from him. Oh, did I say that out loud? Ugh, I hate when I say that, when I slip. Freudian slip, must be. Now, okay, don't they have the same company making the cabinets for them that always makes the cabinets? Nope. Supposedly now they have two. Two what? Cabinet makers. So, Churchill Cabinets. Okay, so let me get this straight here. First we have the Playfields that Churchill Cabinets did forever. So they tried someone else and they had all these ghosting issues. So they went back to Churchill Cabinets. Yes, they did. Okay, so now you're telling me they're cabinets, which I've never heard anything bad about a Stern cabinet. You're saying they're going with another cabinet maker? Well, I think they tried it like they did with the Playfields, cheap and out. this year's supposedly pictures and cracking and it's happened both on Ghostbusters and on Aerosmith luckily one of our friends who just got an Aerosmith mr. Bucci just picked up an Aerosmith and I asked him and I'm gonna respond back yet but he's got it set up and everything so you think you would Yeah, but um, but is there any evidence they're using another cabinet manufacturer? Is this all hearsay? It's all hearsay. I don't know. I've asked for my buddy out there and he's been kind of quiet lately. So either A, he's afraid to get in trouble, which is a possibility, or B, he just wants to ignore me, or C, he doesn't know. So even, even Bruce's sources are failing him. Yeah, they have a couple times lately, but you know, at least I know the next couple games. Oh, did I say that loud too? We'll have to talk about that after the podcast. Well, maybe, yeah. You mean after that next one that everybody knows what it is? Yeah, yeah, the Star Trek. Star Trek, yes, another Star Trek. Based on what? Based on the third movie? The new TV show. What new TV show? Oh, that's right. They were supposedly doing it. Yeah, there was a new TV show. Oh, God. Again, let it die. Let it die. No, can't. Can't. Yeah, so that is one of the problems that they say they're having. So people are complaining about that. And of course, I have actually possibly heard through the grapevine that the line has stopped again for one or two days. Mmm. Yeah. So we'll see. But then Stern put up great news today. Oh, okay. What's the great news they put out? That there's now colored aprons that they're making now on their Stern Facebook page. Really? Yep. And there's four colors. Hold on, I gotta check this out. Yep, so... I'm not seeing these yet, folks. I'm not, like, acting like, Really? They made these? Oh, let me check it out now for the first time. No, this actually is the first time. Let's see, uh, what do we got? Stern pinball... They were on live today, too. They actually were running today.

    Dealing with the glasses. Glasses are helping, guys. The glasses are helping. So you can hit even more loops now. I can. My accuracy has returned. I thought it was just age. It was just my eyesight. I actually did realize how bad my eyesight was playing until I actually got the glasses. So when I actually went to Central New York Pinball League and I tied for first. He's back in the groove, folks. I'm telling you. I'm telling you, you're just like Paul Newman in A Color of Money where he gets the glasses at the end and then he's like, good again. And then the other tournament I went to, which was our finals for Western New York Pinball League, I finished second. Fail. Well, unfortunately, I got beat by one of our guests. Okay.
    11:31
    Eric Russell. Got it. Which one? C. This had to be CNY. Yeah, he's the best of the three. Yes, he's the best player. He, he actually dominated we both. We he was the third seed. I was the first top seed. Zach was the second seed and he was matched up with Zach in the second round and they both made it through and I made it with Dave Cohen from Central New York Pinball and we played our finals and Eric, he was just a, he was on fire. He won. He's on fire? Like NBA Jam style type fire? He's on fire! Boom shakalaka! Well, we played three games per round. After the second round, he was in first place six games, six points to three and three. So what does that tell you? And so I had the third pick and I picked Metallica and everyone looked at me like, what? Why'd you pick Metallica? He's going to run away with this. So then I put the pressure on Eric. I picked first. And then everyone else, Eric had to go last actually. And he only got one point. Yeah, he could have got one point. I got two points, but he only got one point, you know, really, he... and he just had to pull the plunger because he had the one point he needed. And, I was very impressed with him and Zach came in third and Dave Cohen came in fourth, so it was a good night. So two nights in a row I had pinball and the glasses did help. So now we'll see how they work this weekend at the Buffalo Pinball Open. Hi Zach. Zach Meny, Dennis Kriesel, Knapp Arcade, Raydaypinball Podcast. We'll see. And he's having, like, that thing was hackified. Hackified. He came over yesterday and we packed up the 8-ball champ, which is going bye-bye, to one of the people in Buffalo Pinball, Nick Lane. He bought it. I'm delivering it this Saturday before the tournament. Should be a good time had by all, and let's see if I can continue my presence of eyeglass power. Eyeglass power. Rumor is you're picking up another game. Is that true? Tim Kitzrow, Tim Kitzrow, John Popadiuk, David Van Es, Saturday I'll be at the Buffalo Pinball Open where you'll be at Howard's house.

    Trying to win the evil Indonesian bowling pin of doom. Which you have won before. I think I won twice. Yes, you have. Yeah, I'm debating because he's doing it.

    14:46
    Was it two of them on Saturday? He's having one in the morning on Saturday, like an EM only tournament starting at 9. So I'm debating whether or not I want to get up that early. Yeah, I don't see you doing that. I do. I mean, he's only, he's closer to me than Rock Fantasy is. He's only two hours. So, and I usually get up around 6 anyway. I do too, yes. So I'll, I'll, we'll have to see. I'm always game for EM action. So I want to know if people would come up to Ron's house for the first annual Slam-Tilt The slam tilt, the slam tilt, I don't know, I need titles, come on guys, give me some names. There you go, there you go. Listeners, we need titles because I don't think the dialed in launch party title is going to work. At least according to Bruce, it'll be like next year until it arrives, so we need cool names. So, we're going to plan out Ron's tournament, and we need names for it, so please email us with that information so we can get that out. We need names. More names the better. And try not to be too vulgar, because you know, it'll actually have to be a real posted name, so you know, like Oh My Tournament would be fine, but something like the, you know, the Bursting Ball Bag Tournament may not be as appropriate. I think that'd be great. Good Lord. Bursting ball bag tournament. Oh, that's lovely. That's lovely. And hopefully the immortal Alex Jones can show up to help. Yes. Alex Jones. I don't get it. We're just gonna say he's Tom Jones' grandson. Actually, great-grandson, maybe. No, grandson sounds fine. The funny thing is Tim won't know who Tom Jones is anyway, so... He'll have to look him up. But it fits with the Bond theme because he did sing Thunderball, of course. Yes. And actually, going back to the cabinet thing, I actually see pictures of one of a black of a Batman 66 cabinet. But I looked at the cracks on these. And guess what? I had cracks on my...
    17:00
    Butt? No, besides that I had cracks on my Game of Thrones that way. Really Yep So what you saying is I pretty much lucked out on all my new in box purchases No not yet You don know No So far So far So far and strongly endorsed by 13 social media Two guys or two guys? Two guys. Guys and gals? Yes, everyone. Buy my dad's scared stiff. Put a roof on my dad's barn. That's what he's selling it for. Alright. It's on my Facebook page and it's also on Allentown's Facebook selling page for Allentown Pinball. Does Allentown know that exists? What? Do the show organizers know that exists? I thought they didn't like that kind of thing. Well, guess what? Well, oh well, it's a free world. Luckily we can post and put anything we want on there. Look at us. That's why we're in business. I just think, okay, you're going to Allentown, right? I is. And we're selling what? We're selling our autographs. And? Pinball lifters. Tilters, helpers. Tilters, helpers, helpers, tilters. Yep, even the dual rotisserie, the only one ever made. And, and, you'll be there early. I will be. So if you see anything that you know I might like, just, just sayin'. I know. Trust me, I know. You could have another Harlem Globetrotter situation. We could, but I might not have any cash. Bummer! I know. I'm, I'm buying everything up I can. Cause I, uh, I actually have a vehicle to, to bring it back this time. I know. Just sayin'. The problem is, a lot of the games I would like, I see people posting on like the, some Allentown Fred's like, I'm looking for these, like, oh, they're all the same ones I'm looking for. Exactly. Did you see what JT posted today?
    19:00
    JT? Yep, he's looking for a Stargazer. Who isn't looking for a Stargazer? I know. And he's willing to trade his cosmic gunfight for it.
    19:09
    Sorry, JT, not even the same schedule. ■ Speaking of Canada, have you heard from Jeff lately? Jeff Teolis, the guy who does podcasts for Pinball Profile? You mean the guy whose podcast is Pinball Profile? No, he's just the guy that works for him. Yeah, but it sounds like he's working for the company. He does work for him because, you know, you see he's interviewing himself, you know, he's getting interviewed by him, so how can he interview himself? Yeah, he did one where he interviewed himself. I actually called that, when it said mystery guest, and when I heard his intro, I'm there like, he's going to interview himself. over and over again the program Let that out again! Oh, so that's that podcast, Pinball, Do You Want to Bro With Me or something like that. Yeah, I think that's what it's called. Yeah. Hey, Will You Bro Bro Bro All the Way Home? Yeah, I think it's called that, something like that, yeah. Well, you know, in Kevin's defense, you butchered his name so many times. I know. Yeah. Bruce Nightingale. Well, actually, today, when I was speaking to him, I was actually voice texting. You were actually doing that? Yes, I was. Not figuratively. Actually. And when I did it, I didn't realize I was going through a long paragraph and I didn't realize that your name was Rhonda. Ah. So, Nick came back with, help me, Rhonda. Bruce and Rhonda. Yes. Bruce and Rhonda, hi there. Oh, hi. I'm the new host. I'm Rhonda. I'm here with Bruce. Hi, Bruce. Transpires, hybrids. Bum bum ba dum. The transformation is complete. Okay. Light on news, folks. Not much happening. It's tough to do these every week. We need more news. We need more stuff happening. Come on, Star Wars, come out. I know, come on. We're supposed to get teaser stuff and everything like that. Teaser. Come on. Well, how can you tease something where everyone knows what it is anyway? What are you teasing? Teaser. And what about that new movie coming out next week, Guardians of the Galaxy? Hmm. I don't know. Tim Kitzrow, Loser Kid Pinball Podcast. Yeah, and now the guest Web and R cambi is going up the fastball promotion conference at Robert Will Ralph. He is going to be at the Fairfield lamppost for art and second round. He took part in the occupiers color team, office and vendor engagement 나 коллега snow small sizeav partnership project and a follow up on bic Swolickveld lauger or tkme network Internet source Photos andSteaFlow. Let's see, did I mention, because did we do, I'm trying to remember if I mentioned this in the pre, did I mention the F-14 Tomcat repair? Nope. F-14 Tomcat, one of the diverters, was not working well, ball kept getting stuck in it. I thought it was, an adjustment was needed. It wasn't, it was actually the pin had fallen out where the plunger connects and I can't find it. Oh boy. It's just a pin with a, with a E-clip. Yeah. So obviously the Eclipse of Fallout, I mean it's a kind of pin, it's very unlikely it broke in half or anything like that. It's sitting at the bottom of the game somewhere. Could not find it. I looked for 20 minutes, I couldn't find it. So I put like a bolt through there with a nut and that's all I have to do for now. So that's working again. Head issues on Harlem, one of the, I guess you would call it the characters on the left, one of the player lights. Yes. The one on the bottom was not, or intermittently working. The capacitor had like become desoldered, so it would like only work if you hit it slowly. So fix that and continue to work on the big game. Frankly I've been getting, I've been doing a lot of house stuff lately. Mm-hmm. Especially with the weather, I've been getting the tractor ready and all that, so I've been working on the games as much, but I did get the more sockets done and I got the light boards in. Good. Bingo card light boards, so hopefully, now you did them, right? Did you have any wire colors that didn't match? No. Yeah, I had one on the, um, let's see, what would it be? The lower, if you're looking at the playfield, it would be the, no, the upper left, whatever letter that is. Those are the straight ones. That's one through nine straight. It has like, the wire colors at least that came with the instructions said like white and white with something tracer. Well, I didn't have two white cable, two white wires. There was a white with a, like a tracer, and then there was a yellow. Mm-hmm. So, the process of elimination, I just, I put all the ones that were right in, and that was the one left, so that went in the whatever spot was left. Yay! So hopefully that works. It's a good mod. Actually, I like the mod, except, did you notice how the ground wire is so small for that spot for it? Oh, I got it on the right. I know, but did you notice how it could have been bigger? Presenter, F escaped in selection by foreign Label, John Popadiuk, Bob Betor, Knapp Arcade, Raydaypinball Podcast. We're working on the blackjack. You got it. Now it's a light board issue which became a broken wire. Yeah, we ran the wire. I now have had my second broken wire in a machine ever. Really? Yep. Bally. Bally what? The 8-ball champ. At first I thought it was a transistor. First we jumped the light and the light worked. You know, with another light. Okay, so we know, okay, so I pull the board out, check test transistor, transistor's test good, I'm like, okay, so check continuity, dead, no continuity, check another one next to it, good, next to it, good, so I had to run a whole new wire, had half the color of the wires because it was a tracer, but we checked it both in and fixed the rest of the light sockets and got rid of most of the flipper hops, so it's going to be good. Good for Mr. Nick. Wow, I'm just looking at some more of these cracks, wow. Cracks, oh, he's still looking at cracks, folks. Yep. When you get off the porn site, we're talking about pinball, Bruce. Actually, the crack on one is a good, it's gonna be at least a good quarter inch. Wow, that's scary.
    27:26
    And some are actually popping later on. So what people are doing actually is using Williams plates, leg bolt plates. Wait a minute, so they're, okay, the leg plates inside. Yes. Are having, what's happening with them? Well, they're saying that the leg plates are too small and the cabinets are so weak, like they're not gluing them properly or anything like that, so then once they fix them, they're using the Williams plates, which are bigger, to reinforce them better. Wait, why? Why is this like, they've been making cabinets for like 60 fucking years. How is this a problem all of a sudden? I don't understand. Cheap, cheap, cheap. Oh, sorry. Did I say that out loud? Well, is the material cheaper or are they just, is it, do they be making them differently or what's making them fall apart? Or maybe even they're getting so much demand that they're not used to the cabinet makers not keep, can't keep up and maybe they, maybe they using less glue, maybe they're using not enough glue hardening times. Who knows? We don't know. But there is a problem. Looking at these pictures, whew, there's a problem. So is this going to be like the ghosting issue where it's a problem but only for a small number of people? I don't know but it's harder to replace a cabinet than a playfield. That is true. Harder, I'm trying to think if it's actually... It'd probably be easier for you. It'd be easier in some ways because you know like just give me a new cabinet, boom, I pop the playfield. Yeah, exactly. Honestly, for me it'd take like maybe five and a half hours. Yeah, actually, yeah. Yeah, especially with the single board, the way they have it on there, you get all the connectors off, just pop it on, yeah.

See you three next video. Pepperallow. I also worked on stars. I was working with, I had a stuck switch on my drop target bank. Just keep on registering 500 points when you hit the flipper. A little too close, adjusted that puppy up, we're good. We're good to go. And that's, yeah, that's about it then. I got to play Zach a lot this week at the homestead playing downstairs. Hey, I will say, hold on, I will say Zach is actually listening now to the show, on his own. On his own, as opposed to a gunpoint? No, as opposed to when we're driving in the car going somewhere. And you force him to listen? You got it. Against his will, okay. Yep, now he's actually listening on his own. Do you force him to listen to Kiss too? Uh, no. Okay. No, ELL. You're not that, ugh, alright. Alright. But he actually knew Steffi, but he didn't know, he knew her as a Twitter friend, and then they started talking again like, you know, so that was kind of funny he was telling me about that because he listened to her. That was a very good guess she was, she was very good. Very good. So games you like, games you hate? Let's do it. I got to look up mine. You got to look up yours. Come on. Alright, alright. I got to get in touch with you. www.willywink.com Action Hero. I like it a lot too. Eric has one. We use it a lot for League. It's a fun game. It's the kind of game, if they made that now, it would be like the LE edition with all the crap that's gone on with the crane and all that stuff and the shaker motor. You can't have a pinball machine with a crane. It's got a crane. It's got magnets. It's got way too big of an Arnold face on there. I am a fan. I like the game. Captive balls. A lot of captive balls on there too. Captive Balls, Game I Hate, this one's easy. This one popped in my head because I remember seeing it at Papa. It's like, oh, it's that game. Ready Aim Fire. God, I hate that game. The Pop Bumper Fest. Fucking sucks. It's just, it just, explain myself, it plays like shit. Who made that game? I don't know. What do you hate? Yes, they made a shitty game Bruce. You know, even Williams made shitty games. Just telling you. Not many. Okay. Alright, your turn Bruce. Game I like. We're going back to basics boys and girls. Oh, Bally who? BMX. BMX? Yes. Really? Yes. So, so you like it over Hard Body? Oh, definitely. For Altruism on Sound denim, Love For Fun with spokesmen, chnicks.comеров or pms sync, soft confbi, Mr Brown Key, fez ε стол, BIMX, really? Okay. I like it. I actually do. I played, actually JT had one for a while. I wish I knew. But they only made 406 of them. Yeah. And then actually they mentioned in a 2012, it was supposed to be ET. Really? But they couldn't get the license. ET, phone home. So they made it BMX. Interesting. Thank you for watching This is a production of the Center for Autism and Related Disorders LLC The pictures on IPDB are actually taken by someone I know. Uh, here we go. Wait a minute, it's got a... okay, what's the thing in the center? Does that move? No, you actually hit it and it moves. And when you hit it... Yeah, that's what I... that's actually what I meant. It's like the lamp. No, it doesn't spin. Oh, okay. Wait a minute, it doesn't spin. It only barely moves. But when you hit it with the flipper, it actually reacts like there's a switch on all around each side of it. So whatever it's pointing to, there's a dial on the face of the playfield that's one through ten, corresponding with ten shots or ten rollovers in the playfield. If you actually hit, that's called flipper in the middle, if you hit it hard enough, it will give you the credit towards one of those ten things.
    35:36
    And it's an out-of-ball game. Once you get ten, then you can add balls and get more and then have longer playing time. So, what makes it so bad? Oh, it's just friggin' terrible. That friggin' thing doesn't register sometimes. It's very drainy. It's got all shitty flippers. It's a Gottlieb. Okay, it's very drainy. Well, it's an EM of that era, yes. And a shitty flipper, so you just don't like Gottlieb flippers. Yes. Oh, alright. I expected a little more of a, you know, like the shots feel bad or... The problem is, it all depends on your top row. If you look, there's four in lanes up top. Yep. Two light, the 100 pop bumpers, and two light, the 1,000 middle pop bumper. So, skill shot is required. Yes, it is. But the problem is, if you accidentally get the wrong one, the hundreds, in that game, you want to get the thousands, of course, and it's a lot easier to, you know, A pinball show, Knapp Arcade, Bally Williams, Straight Down the Middle, Bally Williams, Straight Down the Middle, Knapp Arcade, Big wow, wow, wow, wow. With Mount Wednesday. Wow. That's an old Opie and Anthony thing. Oh, okay. With Mount Wednesday. Alright. And I'll have a game next week from, you said, League Night also. Oh. Another EM. Even though I got second on it, I still hate it. Did you say League Night? Tim Kitzrow,watermaxwin Zionov Blitzkrieger, Paperultura Clcription, george prafect, Last Tre marine, kettle, legato othermanauf sorgen, はい! I've mentioned this before. I know, but I like harassing you. You like harassing me. Because I have league now. Yes, he does. Sunday at 5 o'clock. Last and last. Sunday! It's at 5 o'clock at the Excelsior Pub. Play Roadshow! That's what we played. Yes, our league started this past Sunday. Man, how'd you do? Took first and they all put you on their shoulders and carried you out, right? John Popadiuk, Bob Betor, Kanyo Klyce, David Van Es, Bally Williams, Straight Down the Middle, Bally Williams, Kanyo Klyce, David Van Es, John Popadiuk, The roadshow needs a little work. No. Location pinball never needs work. The GI doesn't work. So it's a little dark. In a bar, it's really good. Well, they have lights in that section, so... I was kinda able to see it. They had locked it in work. So, it was weird. You'd hit it and the kicker worked or whatever when you hit it in there, but it just didn't register locks, which was a known issue and supposedly is going to be fixed. But that made it so like you're playing for the cities. You're just going through the... The cities or the bulldozer. That's the only two things I would go for then. Well, what is hitting the bulldozer a lot if you can't lock a ball, I'll give you. You don't care about the lock then. All you're doing is going for overtime, overtime, overtime. Well, how much does that give you? Treb Masebleau,
    40:04
    Hey Ron, Ron. Yes. I have three leagues. Fuck you. Well luckily I don't have to worry about one league right now because one league, mine, the Western New York, which a lot of people do help, we're done for the year until we start signups again in July. So it's two minutes off, two months off of relaxation. And then Buffalo ends next month, but I'm not in the finals so I don't have to worry about that. And then Central New York is only. So, but yeah, three, three leagues. Whatever. So what else we got? What else do we have? Looking forward to an Allentown. Well, we can go over that next episode when we're closer to Allentown. It could be the Allentown preview show. Yes, the Allentown preview show with a special guest. I don't have to work so hard this time. Are they going to Allentown? Yes, I think Nick is definitely. I don't know about Kevin. Kevin's got a turd in his house also, he says. He got rid of the Street Fighter. No, no, no, he's got another one there. Did he get it yet? Can we not mention it? No, no, no, no, he didn't get that. No, the one that I've been talking about getting. And you have downstairs in your basement. Oh, wait a minute, I have downstairs in my basement. I can't be a turd then if I have it. Yeah, it is. No, this one is a turd compared to yours. Okay, what is it? Stargazer. Oh, wow. He's getting a Stargazer. No, he only has it to borrow. Oh. Why is it a turd? It's rough. Very rough. Yeah, but it's a Stargazer, so it's okay. No, no. The flippers, keeps on blowing fuses. There's a lot of issues. Playfield's got some good wear to it. I'm sure you can fix it for him. I did offer. You're crazy like that. I am. But who knows, you know, we could be quick on this on the draw and get some silver out of it. Or some gold. Speaking of silver and gold, maybe I get that prospector once, uh, Once Zach's finally done with it? Zach's finally done with it, yeah. I'm saying like, yeah, keep fixing all these issues, Zach. I sold him 20 light sockets yesterday. He's like, I really need 40. I'm like, well, I have 40. You want them? No, I'll just start with 20. Yeah.
    42:23
    And they're all, these are all the stapled ones for the back box. Oh, okay. Oh, ooh. Yeah, right. Yeah, I had to replay, I had to do another order of sockets as I ran out doing the big game. Man, there's a lot of sockets. Yes, I have. Pain in the ass. I get a ton of them. Pain in the ass. You want to go to I'd Buy That? Oh, cool. Cool. All right. All right, I'm ready. Okay. For those newer listeners, I'd Buy That is our segment where we go to the world of eBay auctions. We've seen such exciting things as Restored Meteor or a Playboy that looked like it had no backglass in it when in fact it did, with maybe 2% of the artwork remaining. ...... www.willywonka.com They require some basic tune-ups but no notable issues with hardware and electronics. The spring that launches the balls may need some oil or something. Okay. So that's kind of a clue of the knowledge of the person selling it. $1,300. New York, New York. I actually think it's a good deal. Yeah, let me look out here. The only thing that worries me, the only thing that worries me is when it's powered Know who made that fake bowling pitching in 2005. There is nothing after my greatest bow onலake a shot of the life of a guy that can redo just that. oath of 한 Nicole Waite, www. batsw canceled fromİ've ќРъеhere Ahmad Shah and moves when men's set has got the interactive precision program spread we're Check with us on YouTube today! Click on Default and buchu. He's going to bring a little thing over here and he's going to bookmark this one. I tell you. Yeah, well, we'll see. Wait a minute, how much did it, there's no bids. No bids, $1,300. So. And it's only a drive away with that new vehicle. It's only a drive away? Well, most things are, unless it's in Europe. It's only a shorter drive away. I wish there were some pictures of, of back glass. Powered on with a display. The Yeah, right cuz cuz yeah cuz in the one picture you can see them in the back box the It looks like the lights are on in the the joyride section. Yeah Yet you see nothing in the display and nothing like in the jackpot display either. Oh Yeah, you can see the popover lights are on so obviously So I wonder how it functions if I mean you can get new displays Today at 620 I tell you Ron, that's a good deal for you. And you'll earn $13 in eBay bucks. eBay bucks? Is that like Monopoly money? It is almost like it. You know, you gain every dollar you spend, you get a penny. Wow. Okay. Yeah. So what else you got? I got one more. I'm going to go back to my eBay again. So again, to reiterate, we would buy that. Yes, definitely. Possibly. You might want to find out what's going on with the displays and everything else, but. I wouldn't worry about it. That kind of playfield and cabinet. It looks like it's a good deal. I would definitely.
    48:01
    Ticket number 222-467-472-706. This one's for you, Ron. Oh, fuck you. You suck. It's a rare, a rare Bally $6 million man pinball. Project Machine. $400. Now, okay folks, rare. So we think it's rare. Let's see how rare it is. I'm saying they built probably like 3,000. They built 10,320. It's probably one of their higher production games they did in the 70s. And it's rare. No, it ain't. It ain't rare. So let's see, it's in Texas. $400. I would not buy this turd. Playfields got a lot of wear. Yeah, the playfield's worn to shit. I mean, really worn to shit. Holy cow. The sides are really faded. Let's see, the cabinet doesn't look very good. Well, you got boards. Let's see, I can't really see the battery area. Underneath the playfield, OK. The inside of the cabinet. Oh man, yeah, it's supposed to be red, right? Yeah, it's supposed to be red. Yeah. It's washed out white. Wow, it's, yeah, it's extremely faded. Extremely! Oh my god, look at the other side. I know, I told you, I knew you wouldn't get the other side. Oh, the explosion is almost not even there, it's so faded. It's pretty bad. What a fucking turd. So, Ron, would you buy this? No. Neither would I. No, I would not buy that. So Ron, are you going to bid? So I might bid on this taxi. Are you going to bid on this or are we going to do a bidding war again? Yeah, you can bid on it if you want. I'm joking. Oh, oh, oh, sorry. God, go with the joke a little bit, buddy. Okay, alright, ready, take two. So Ron, are you going to buy this or are we going to go into a bidding war again? No, you can have it. Oh shit, I forgot to change the line. Dumbass. http://www.youtube.com.au What's the beginning of this show? He's a test pilot and he crashes in the desert. So what you gotta do is you gotta put wheels on it and throw it off, go down a ski jump, and so it goes up in the air and then crashes into the ground like the plane does. Or just bring it to the Grand Canyon and throw it in. And there's so many different ways you can destroy this and all would be good. I keep the back glass though, and you can wall mount it, make it art. At least it'll be good for something. I would agree with that. There you go. I'll tell you, that taxi looks pretty nice, man. I got it bookmarked. We'll see. So we have another problem coming up in the next six weeks, seven weeks. We have a problem coming up. Okay, what's the problem coming up? In six to seven weeks, what are we running out of? Six to seven weeks what are we running out of I don know We running out of movies We running out of movies Oh no I know what my suggestion will be. Ron will hate it. Uhhhh... Okay. Mine is going to be the Marvel Universe. Because there's so many... What are you going to consider the Marvel Universe? Movies. Yeah, but... But I haven't seen any of them. I know, but you can also include X-Men. You can also include X-Men, you can also include Fantastic Four, the original one, and Spider-Man. No, you can't, you can't, because they're not the Marvel Universe, not the movies, the movies aren't. Yes, they are. No, they're not, they're not Marvel Studios. Well, if you look, they actually do stay in the credits, Marvel. It doesn't matter, but they're not, they're not, and that's the reason they always suck. Yes, because they're owned by Fox. Yes, because they don't do it right. Yes. Well, how about we do this? We asked for suggestions for Ronnie's tournament earlier. Yes, we did. We'll ask our listeners for suggestions on what we could use for our next theme. Ooh, we can do Mel Brooks movies. We could do that. I like that idea. But how about, okay, we'll make it easier so listeners don't have to think too hard. It's either going to be Marvel movies or Mel Brooks movies. We want your vote. You will make the call. It's like the old major league, but you make the call. Springtime for Hitler and Germany. The producers. Yes. How are we going to talk about the silent movie? Good question. We'll use sign language. I'm sure that'll work very well. That'll work great on a podcast. So it's up to you listeners, we need your vote. Yes we do. So please, comments, email us. And speaking of that, we do have some emails. Yes we have a lot of emails. Wait, we have, I have two. No, we got more. No, we have two emails. We got more. You might have other messages and stuff, but we have two emails. Of course I do. Okay. I got more. Alright, the subject line of this, if I wanted to be very vulgar, would make a great title www.slammtilt.com Listen, you guys talk about X-Men. Now the prototype played so much better with the gigantic Wolverine.
    54:22
    You should really check out the Newton Ball Mod on Mezel Mods. In my opinion, it's a required mod for any X-Men, Bro or LE.
    54:31
    Let's see. You have the pictures down below. Yeah, he made custom plastics for it, replaced magneto with a vertical plastic. There's some picture so you can see how the Newton ball fits. Let's see. So yeah, okay. Put a Magneto figurine above where the Magneto lock is. Those are pretty cool. Now just remove Wolverine. Which he did. Second picture looks incredible though. Yup. So Newton ball there. I like that. It's a good idea. It's more metallic alike now, really. So I'd like to play that actually. Tim Kitzrow, Loser Kid Pinball Podcast. Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. This is the same group that did the Slade's Oh My. Let's see. Oh, God. No, we're not changing the song. It's like a ballad. A ballad?

    57:39
    Oh my. Enjoy the last five episodes. Late adapter, sorry. Can't help picturing that I'm listening to Ray Romano and Principal Skinner though.
    57:49
    So I must be Principal Skinner, you must be Ray Romano. I'm Ray Romano? Well what are you? What do you think I am? Which one are you? Which one am I?
    57:58
    Principal Skinner, that's from Simpsons, right? Yes. I don't know. I don't know. I need a clarification. Yeah, we need a... how about I'm Krusty instead? You know, what do you mean, Skitter? I'm Krusty! Oh. That hurt. It did. So... This... excellent, excellent. Excellent. Yes, sir. This guy's from Australia, sir. The Aussie Ear only has limited accent differentiation for American speech.
    58:59
    I could. What? That diggly-do thing they have that... That diggly-do thing. Whatever they call that thing. Okay, I have no idea what you're talking about. He continues on, if you want to know more about me and my daughter, you can... that's more British. You can catch up on our YouTube channel, Emily and Dr. John. Shameless plug.

Thanks for putting time in, Todd. Hi Todd, it's Bruce's whitewater and only he would move it for the right trade. Oops, not sure how I mixed that one up. Smiley face. Sure wish I had a pin to offer and trade the moment. Just moved two and all the others are keepers. You guys know of any white waters moving? Give me a holler. Thanks for reply. Todd. So thanks for listening, Todd. Todd Lopatey No of any white waters? Todd Lopatey Uh, no. Todd Lopatey Yeah, you're... Todd Lopatey You're getting tighter out there. Todd Lopatey Yes, it's one of those, you know, if you had the wayback machine back in like in the mid 2000s where you could get like a white water for like $1,500 or something, you know. Todd Lopatey $13. Todd Lopatey Yeah, $13. See, there are advantages to being in this thing for like 30 years like Brist has been. Yes, I told you. $1,300 I paid back in 2004. And that was probably an okay price then. And I got it, it was not just an okay price, but I got it at Christmas Eve in New Jersey. That was the second pin I got Christmas Eve, the year before I got Monster Bash, or the year after I got Monster Bash. The Monster Bash, the Monster Bash. But I still have the white water. Yes, you do. That's the second longest game downstairs. After, let's see, Lord of the Rings? You got it. All right. Good guess. Wait a minute. Longer than Monopoly? Monopoly, that was the first Monopoly was before that, but then I sold the first one and got the second one. Ah, of course. You're talking to somebody who's owned four, four whodunnits and four whirlwinds. You have a problem, sir. We'll see you next time on the Allentown Preview Spectacular.
    62:49

Like every check he'll be writing out. Yeah, my autograph, my autograph table. It's gonna be great. By the way, I'm gonna ask something right now on air and I need it. I need the file for our picture. The file for our picture. You got it. I'll send it. I need to print it at work so you have something to sign. Oh, oh, oh, okay, of course, of course. He thinks I'm kidding. Why would I think you're kidding? I'm expecting it to be printed like a big poster over my head. No, no, no, no, no, just have like a... No, no, I want a big poster over the head. It's the Slam Tilt Podcast with your pictures up there over the table. Let me see how the budget looks for that. All right. Oh, shit. Well, if you didn't keep buying games all the time, you'd have more. Yeah. This Thursday is going to be the Mr. T April Pinball Show at the comic book shop out in East Syracuse. I Pinball the Fool? Was that the name? I Pinball the Fool. Alright. They just got a Future Spa. So, Future Spa will be one of the games to play and to compete on. Excellent. This Saturday is the Buffalo Pinball Open. www.buffalopinball.com This BlackWayPinball is brought to you by Fox Blend in Los Angeles. This BlackWayPinball is brought to you by Fox Blend. It really sucks. It sucks. Especially Ron. He sucks. Terrible. I like Bruce though. He's pretty cool. Yeah. He's like a dork like me. Yeah. And don't forget our two ideas we need. One for the... We need a name for Ron's tournament and we need to know if you guys get a vote on either Mel Brooks movies or Marvel Universe movies. Now, didn't they have an Iron Man movie and an Avengers movie and a Spider-Man movie and uh... Incredible Hulk and Spider-Man... What, a lot of Marvel goes associated with pinball. Yeah, there is. Okay. All right. That doesn't necessarily mean it's any better. I mean, we usually mention the title at the beginning of the show and it never gets brought up again. Iron Man? I mean, we haven't mentioned... what was it in the movie again? The World Is Not Enough? The World Is Not Enough with, with, uh, Christmas Jones. Chris Jones, okay. Howard's tournament will be at the Howard's place. The Friday will be the Howard's birthday battle. Woohoo! And then on Saturday will be the Coffee Club. That's what he's calling the first tournament. I believe it's the EM tournament. And then the the match play, I think that the full tournament is the second one. So yeah, so the times are from Friday from 5 p.m. to 9 20. Okay, 5 p.m. To 9 20 p.m. Qualifying 930 battle top 50% I Guess whoever half you have two people there. Yep, so then for the first term on Saturday the coffee club It's going to be 9 a.m. To 1 p.m. Qualifying with a 1 20 p.m. One game final top four and And then the match play, the group match play term is going to be from 2 to 6 p.m. with bracket finals top 50. So be there or be square. He does need 16 people for it to be an IFPA tournament. Sixteen people. So come on out to his tournament, guys. Come on out to his tournament. I think that's all I got. I think that's all we got. All right. So once again, this has been episode 40. The world is not enough. You can catch us on Facebook. Just search for Slam Tilt Podcast.
