in the mini home don't we what topper topper goes on top look at that that's cool they can't even see it oh well yeah that's a cool topper oh all this heavy stuff oh whoa i'm not strong enough i need your help see if you can do it ready when i say three one two three pull oh see i told you i needed your help oh i can't pull it by myself one two three oh you got it keep pulling keep pulling i don't know what this thing is all right you take that box out of the way for me nicely done bye you guys this little guy here fletch has just been he's been my arcade and pinball buddy for the last couple of years haven't you he just loves arcade and pinball you play more than anybody don't you yeah whoa put that in that box if i can tell what this is fletcher you want to know why i can tell because it has wiring underneath it what this does this is going to be our our baseboard our foot board if you will and it's going to connect the two machines on uh on the ground and then with these molex connectors here you guys will see them in a minute we're going to connect the front electronics to the back electronics so that's what this is for not too bad all right fletcher this says jurassic park hardware i don't know if these people can see but you said you can open this we'll see it are you knocking on grandma's door let's see it i was wanting the run time to be about a half an hour on this video [Music] this is actually how a lot of people try to work on their pinball machines yeah let's see if we can i think we can hit it open i don't know if that'd be the smartest whoa all right now hands back i'm going to use our knife you don't have to walk away always safety first right jurassic park cabinet setup guide so these are our instructions i like what you did there what what is this what is this thing a wire a wire i guess it's a lot of wire this is for the power this is what plugs into the wall it's all kinds of tools yeah and i like how it's labeled i can't obey that next one okay let's see it oh that's nice see they label it show the people it's labeled in there it shows you exactly what to use each hardware piece on now when we've made tables and stuff for mommy there's usually more hardware than this so i think we can knock this out pretty easy looks like there's an allen's wrench some washers two separate uh specialized screws and it's gonna be a cinch knuckles we got this leave me hanging knuckles no so this will be a nice reference tool that way if i ever need to disassemble a gun unit uh or any of the or in the cabinet stuff using that molex we get that oriented correctly that foot panel and then after that we're going to secure it with some bolts we'll show you that now okay fletcher why don't you slide me that slide it in for me all right the other cool thing i forgot to tell you guys about the escalator that we were showing at the beginning that hand truck the nice thing is that these two pieces by themselves that belt will wrap the standard belt will wrap around each of these pieces without the need for that extended arcade strap so it's another nice piece all right so now if John Youssi these holes one two three four five six we are going to use those six that you counted out already and those washers and we're going to mount those go ahead and plug it in nicely done high five so we got the front one what about this back one we gotta get the back one too we're gonna put this up top there mount these three three screws once you give me those screws bud give me one washer and one screw and then once we get those mounted we'll slide this into place and get these other three like this and these we're gonna do these we're gonna line them up first you're doing a great job all right fletcher secured all six bolts onto the floor panel now we're gonna put the roof panel on again super simple we're gonna take six of those same bolts with the washers we're gonna put three here and then three on the back there right and then this flat end John Youssi this big flat end here this goes to the front uh the rounded end goes to the back now we're going to attach the top all right let's go here grab your wrench there you go got it we're going to come over here your mom is going to kill me when she sees this why he said why because he's gonna think this is not very safe all right so while fletcher is up there i've i've already looked at the instructions on what to do next next we're gonna assemble our topper so the topper that's what those two specialty screws were for so we're going to do that now fletcher you want to install the topper where's your tool i don't know what where'd you put the tool i don't know where the tool went where'd the wrench go you know they call me the topper king fletcher i guess that makes you the top of prince is that what that makes you you're the type of kid yeah the one am i that's all for now that's all i'm nothing huh i love that they included a topper on this game it's just visually very impactful for those of you with like super short ceilings uh maybe you won't have to install that topper there's plenty of cool places you can put in your game room for reference i don't think it's much more than it's probably shorter than a pinball topper on a machine i guess about 93 inches with the top and then if you guys want to know the dimensions whether it's going to fit in your place it's a little over 67 inches long and it's only 43 43 and a half inches wide so it takes up less space than two pinball machines with reference to uh width and it's probably very similar to length as well all right fletcher we're almost finished we've got the power cord here John Youssi where uh that plugs in at it's just like big buck hunter and then you've got one switch here to turn it on now i wanted to show these people uh what's inside here okay you got four screws here just like you do on everything else so whenever we first unpalated this game it's going to be sitting like i said each individual piece on one pallet and there's going to be two bolts on one of the sides two bolts on the floor on the other side it bolts to the pallet so that it stays secure it's a really nice way to ship it so i think it's a good idea but when you get yours and you start unwrapping it to uh to get those two pieces separate you're going to go into this back panel first that's where those two bolts for shipping purposes are going to reside my back so where these bolts are let's see if i can find them there's one that's where the bolt was in right there see that hole and then over here there's number two so you just take those out oh boy look who's coming fletcher mama's home really home all right fletcher we got it all hooked up you ready to play this we're going to turn it on to show people how to set it all up and remind people what do they have to do to win that banner all they can do is share this video it's pretty simple right a couple clicks if you knew what you were doing would you share the video ow why you laugh that's not funny whoa before we show you guys diagnostics i just wanted to show you a cool little feature because this is a [Music] oh because this is a home version or a non-commercial device they put the settings right here which is really nice they have a power setting a select a plus and a minus it's also a test and a step the manual i thought was really nice too because it also shows you uh schematics on how all of these mechanisms work that way if you ever need to do any repair that it's all right there so let's go through diagnostics hold button for test menu okay cool so then you've got all of this gun so diagnostic switch test sound tests light test watch dog test so do we want the track sound to come on in the home setting i'm going to do never for that one oh so you can set the difficulty on here too that's neat cool average time per credit high human deaths system adjustments it's very similar to a pinball machine you get the serial number uh vibration guns dual solenoid rumble on all that's on set venue so location set date and time select a level whoa all right who do we want to go to do we want to go to t-rex triceratops spinosaurus well i'm gonna pick which one do we want triceratops one yeah cliffs of thunder whoa that was awesome oh you're into think you're everywhere whoa shoot everywhere well wait wait get it get the guys that are trying to get the triceratops oh go go go go go go i think to see these grenades i think that's what the front thing is yeah that's what the grenades are uh we're
