Good for my back. This is chair cam. This chair service just keeps getting better and better. Cheers, boys. All right. Cheers to the chair. This is Jeff Waters' bedroom, a.k.a. the greatest games room ever.

I'm Mike Dimas and this is Pinball Shenanigans. Alright boys, you ready to rock and roll? Got the trailer, got the truck, everything is packed to the max. We're ready for the Ontario Pinfest 2026 show. Except someone's got to get their vehicle out of the way first. Alright, we are on our way to the 4th annual Ontario Pinfest show in Stainer, Ontario. I guess we're supposed to be at your house at 9am. Somehow my brain thought it was 9.30, so we're a little bit late. But, you know, it doesn't actually start until tomorrow anyway. We got to do some setup and stuff, but it's just a hop, skip, and a what, three and a half hour jump before we're there. Should be good times. We'll document some shenanigans while we're there. There's going to be lots of cool games. It's going to be like Winchester Mystery House. There's going to be a Harry Potter. There's going to be probably a Wild Gunman. And that's going to be cool. I want to check that out. Also, Marco's custom Who Shot Mr. Burns. I'm looking forward to checking that out. It is finished.

And the coating has started too. Oh, look at this screen on the back. Very cool. This is Mark and Siddy's second homebrew machine. The Weird Al's Museum of Natural Hilarity is the official title. I don't think I've ever played that. All kinds of accessories and merch. This is kind of cool.
    10:33

Who's going to talk? This conversation could go for the next two days straight. We've got Sam and Dewar. I'll be doing like an hour long tour and you guys will still be here when I circle back around. Alright, check this out. Dan Burch brought a bunch of games. We got Shiny Boy in the house as well.
    16:58
    Everybody from Ontario is here. There's Mr. Burch himself. How's it going, buddy? And all of the Ontario pinball enthusiasts are here. How's it going, Al? Good to see you, buddy. Gatlin, the You guys are buying up some merch here.

    And then we've got another Pokemon over there. Looks like also from Dr. Mario, the Game Doctor. And this is the tournament section right here.
    19:54
    This is Kato. How's it going, man? How you doing? Globe and Mail. Just doing an article on all things pinball this weekend. So be on the lookout for that. Doing lots of interviews. But yeah, here's the tournament games. I should probably pay attention to what they are.
    20:13
    So I can try and remember how to play them. I think there's a kids tournament happening right now actually, possibly. So that's going on.
    20:24
    And I believe these are more tournament games. I'm assuming these are more tournament games. And then we got some more bending action here. This is where Julie just bought a Prospector machine for, I can't say, I can't say, as is. But got the machine already up and running and rubbered because all the rubbers were gone but circle back around to that. This is sort of the the London vendor section. We've got, this is Rob Vieira's stuff I believe. More Rob Vieira's stuff over here. Kevin brought the computer space. We got Jeff Waters, he brought a bunch of stuff. And Corey Cook has a bunch of crap here too. This is a London pinball section as well. And then we've got Alex Stager's section here. He did the tournament trophies this year as well. And if you want some cool stuff, 3D printed or coasters or trophies made, hit up Alex at StagsCNC. We've got a cool little running slideshow here. And then we have Mark in City's second homebrew machine that he's been working on. I'll have to come back around and do a gameplay video of this. This is the Amazing Spider-Man 67. As you can see, it's not your normal Spider-Man. It's got a LCD screen, it's got an upper play field, extra flipper, wire forms, all kinds of good stuff. The
    22:50
    And I imagine this is Ben Benedict's stuff here too. Here we have Rob Edwards' booth. He is the manual guy. He's got like every manual you can think of, arcade and pinball.
    23:08
    You making any sales, Mr. Edwards? Yes, it's been very good. Oh, very good. I've helped people out with several manuals so they can go home and try to fix their games up. I know you sold a Star Trek manual to John Terrest and I even bought some stuff off you as well, some Bally decals. Thanks brother. Yeah, if anybody needs stuff, you know where to find it Matt. Robbie's coin op manuals and schematics and other cool stuff. Canada's card. There it is. Yeah, he's got a couple manuals. Check this out. And Ripley's Believe It or Not, this is like the Stern White Star section here, also with color DMD, or maybe pin-through DMD, hard to tell. Okay so this is a pretty, this is the action packed corner here, cause it has got all the newest and shiniest stuff. This is Nitro Pinball Ontario. What's up boys, good to see ya. You made it. How's it going guys? So we've got, check this out, this is the P3 Multimorphic, I thought it was going to be Weird Al's Yankovic game, but it's actually Portal, and our fellow Ontarian Ian Harrewer had a lot to do with this game, in terms of programming and what not. Never laid eyes on this before, Winchester Mystery House, I guess they made 525 of these. The company is designed by Carl D'Angelo, his first work here. I'm definitely excited to give this a try. This is also Angel International slash Nitro Pinball. I already got myself a cool sticker and a P3 plastic which they're giving away. Check this out. All kinds of toppers and whatever else is going on here. Side armor. Look at these cool shooter rods. I have this one on my Jaws and I have this one on my Jurassic Park. We've got Harry Potter, I'm not sure what edition. Take a glance at that. I played half a game, well me and Shawnee did a split flipper game at the Beast in Buffalo The I got a game on it. This is a quick one-handed game while I was trying to film it. So I have to give this another go. $18,999 plus HFT. And here, I've never laid eyes on a Beetlejuice yet either.
    26:44
    Look at that popper. That is crazy. Have to get a closer look at this at some point. But I'm trying not to do like a three hour long video here. There's Mr. International right there taking a photo of the action. Okay so in this middle section here we have Mike Hanley's stuff. Hey if you want this giant monstrosity of a ball bowler you can have it for only $100. And you know what? He might even let you haul it away for free because I know he doesn't want to haul it back home. And check this out. Fantastic pinball. Craig Walker. What's up, Robert?
    27:34
    You told me you sell it all. Oh, yeah? What's the show price on the Alien Star playfield? I got no idea. What do you want to start at? Well, I already have one, so I want to make sure I didn't pay too much. Have a look at this. Firepower, Rolling Stones. The Oh man, that was just the perimeter and I haven't even covered the whole perimeter yet.
    28:28
    Oh, there's the boys, Hanley and Walker. Hey, watch the Alien Star playfield, eh? What are they crating in? What's in the magic special secret crate here?
    28:40
    Anyway, let's keep circling around here. Okay, so this is the raffle section here, or the silent auction, that's what it is. We've got barbecues. Oh, we've got big old jiggly Martian magnets.
    28:59
    I'll bid more than a dollar on these guys. These are awesome. I want one. Whoever wins this, I'm buying it off them. That's probably the easiest way to go.
    29:10
    Homebrew loot crate. That's pretty cool for anybody who's trying to make a pinball machine, eh? There's a lot of good stuff in there. Starter kit. Alex has one. I think he wants to get into homebrewing. This looks like it's donated probably from Eddie. Big bag of rubbers, every color. Markov clock, some edibles.
    29:34
    Oh, cool Williams pop bumper caps. Oh, high speed. And this poster's actually pretty cool. It looks Brian Allen. And also Brian Allen. Super cool. Got like Dungeons and Dragons, looks like Theater of Magic, Sword of Rage, Black Knight, a little bit of everything there. Some ramps. Okay I think I successfully covered the perimeter Did I even do Davis Still yet No I have not Here Davis Davistill booth He distributes for Alltech now which is amazing We got an Ontario source for Alltech lamp drivers solenoid drivers MPUs We got Gottlieb stuff NVRAM galore all the ROMs you can think or want and even some merch What's up, Mr. Walker? Is that a stack of Alien Star playfields? No. No? Okay. That is a stack of Stargazer playfields. Oh, okay. That is a stack of Canada Dry. Oh, no shit. Really? Oh, that's cool. I'd like to see that.
    30:54
    This is the new Canada Dry playfield. I didn't even see that. I walked right by it. First one in the world. Whoa, that's amazing.
    31:04
    Ben Benedict had a Canada Dry. Look at that. I'll tell you something neat about Canada Dry. When Gottlieb made it, they kind of just picked their colors. Yeah. Rather than match the factory Gottlieb colors, we matched the factory Canada Dry colors. Oh, so you had some creative liberties in the color. We took a little creative liberty. Yeah, that's cool. And because of that, when you put these in, you've got to have the plastics that match. Oh, you did a plastic set too? Here's the new Canada Dry color match. Oh, that's awesome. I have to like input like what the original looks like compared to the reimagined version. You have to find one and there's only 300 that were ever made. How many of those are still around? 300 Canada dries? 300 ever made. Oh wow, I didn't realize it was that low. Most of them went to France. Oh wow. So there might have been 50 of them in North America. Okay, I know Ben Benedict had one in London. So one of them was at a hometown. The
    32:35
    The game is a game that was released in the late 90s and is still in the game's history. This is Wild Gunman. This whole thing started with Kalem over here who found a couple reels on eBay and built this entire machine around those reels, basically. Gatlin, the first person to make the game, was a former member of the team, and he was a member of the team's team.
    34:55
    I'm not sure if you can see the video, but I'm not sure if you can see the video. I'm not going to have an hour long video. I do have to keep on moving. I was going to do gameplay videos on the cool games and stuff. The new shiny games. But maybe I'll do those as separate videos. Like a Winchester video and a Beetlejuice video possibly. Alright, some more bending action here, miscellaneous parts and pieces. We've got some old-timey aprons here, more aprons there, coin doors, door reels, arcade panels, Mario Brothers. Oh, this is kind of cool. And then, oh my god, I still got all the rows of pinball machines. Okay, we're going to try and speed this up a little bit here. This is Bruce Monkhouse's section, I believe, as well as Davis Dills Games.
    36:34
    Another Johnny mnemonic. So, the show just opened about three hours ago. Oh, I'm going to have to circle back around to this. This is Marco's homebrew masterpiece here, Who Shot Mr. Burns?
    36:53
    And I'm going to do a proper gameplay video of this at some point. Marco's going to talk me through the rules and stuff. And I've got to give that some more attention for sure.
    37:08
    But it is complete this year. Last year it didn't have the playfield art and stuff and cabinet art. This is a toy from the new toy store, and now it does. And the rules and the code are all flushed out. Here's a look down this row. Oh, and here's Julie's new toy. Why is the hood up? The score reels not working now. Ahh, who broke it? Well, uh, Flamma broke it. Flamma. Go figure. Flamma broke it because the score reel broke on your watch. Cory's charging by the minute right now too. But yeah, this is Julie's new toy. Check it out. Sonic Prospector. Actually really in nice shape too. So she did alright. And there's the Nippet. I think that might be sold. The row number two.
    38:09
    Hyperball, I think that's Alex's Hyperball, he brought that as well. Mr. and Mrs. Pac-Man blew up yesterday.
    38:19
    Game show, this is also Alex's. $3,900 if you want a game show. That's row number two. Oh, Guns N' Roses. Oh, JC just bought the Star Trek right off the showroom floor yesterday. It is a serious beater, but Kevin's taking it straight home and just going to the Grazely garage for a full makeover. It's going to be incredible. Some more arcade games here.
    39:00
    The And this is I believe is David Phil's Kiss. Oh yeah, there it is. Not for sale. And then, do you want to play a quick game of whatever this is? They're Dutch.
    40:20
    This is like the history of pinball. Can this even be played? Gatwick, Canada The game that started it all.
    41:25
    This is a video of the game. See how exciting things were in 1947? I think I got one more row left. Yo!
    42:03
    Did I get everything? I might have actually got everything. I'm sure I missed a million things though.
    42:10
    But, uh, I still feel like I missed something. Eh, maybe not. Okay, well, that's the, uh, sort of quickie tour. It's alright, you can go.
    42:22
    That was 30 minutes, so that wasn't too bad. The show has just begun, so we'll be here all day today till 6, tomorrow till 4. Tournament starts fairly soon, tournament today, tournament tomorrow, and lots of shenanigans I am sure shall ensue. J.C. This is chair cam. This is the best seat in the house. Got a great view. Good company. Living the dream. Oh yeah. Mark's jealous. This just chair service just keeps getting better and better. Look at this. We got side launch. I told you this is the best seat in the house. Cheers boys. Alright. Cheers to the chair. The chair party continues. Everybody's gathered around the best seat in the house waiting for their turn. Brad's next. I've been hoarding the chair for the last like half an hour and this has been chair cam. We got the game doctor action now in the house and everybody's coming to check out the chair. It's great. Camp Schmidt is open for business. Look at this. We got Julie on the grill. Dale right? I remembered. Gautam, the Oh yeah, check out the action. Lunch time and then tournament time. Pinball tournament time.
    44:53
    What happened to the odd touch you big meanie? It was close. And I just advanced I think to the final, I don't know, 14 or something right now. There was 55 players. Shawnee boy is doing okay because Justin has 1.7 million and Shawn has 1.03 billion. It might not be the best tournament game this Friday Pinball Is that it No no no Okay Do it again No Oh I easily one billion
    45:28
    Lame. What is happening? Where's the key? Nope. Oh, you don't have it? Oh, you son of a... We're going to do a little covert operation here and try and scare the rest of the crew when they show up. I don't feel like I'm very covered. Dutch, station one, check. Wave so I can see you. Kind of. Wait, hold on, I've got to zoom in. There he is.
    46:01
    And Dutch is going to jump out and scare the crap out of people as soon as they show up. We're still waiting for these people to show up. We're like frickin' 200 meters away from the restaurant to our Airbnb. How are they taking forever? But I've got a new weapon.
    46:18
    And if I go like this, I'm scaring the crap out of them. I don't know where the hell they are though. Unless the joke's on us and they're already in the Airbnb.
    46:30
    Oh, here we go. Take your places. Thanks for watching. So whenamm I get a new one? Oh, that's pretty cool. I'm an operator, I get to have a whole spare one, swap it in. Oh nice. So like very modular. Yeah. How does this thing? That thing looks like a beast, oh my god. How much do these things weight? This is the heaviest game ever made. Yeah. Heavier than- Take that Star Trek Next Generation. Heavier than the wide body mini gun. So like 300 pounds or something? Thanks for watching. And now, um, 18 balls in Weird Al or in P3 in general? Uh, some games take advantage of that. Yeah. The Heist module will have like a 15 ball module. Oh wow, I didn't know that. It depends on whatever the programmer wants to escape. The programmer has to use 3.5 multiballs. Oh, that's the craziest. The reason it has so many balls is the hardware is in the bottom of the cabinet, so it stages balls all over the area underneath. Okay. So it can pop up balls anywhere. S Beim Bio
    49:00
    We'll have to get a game on Weird Al after. I'll get it a Knicks way. This is some behind the scenes action with the vendor section here with Jeff Waters making sales, checking out the action. Vieira has this nice sign, Spank My Bottom with a spatula from Spatula City. So Jeff Waters bought this at a garage sale for 20 bucks. Comes with the keyboard. I don't know how to work this thing. It is a, what does it say? Looking to device. Easy command keyboard. Easy command. So we're going to plug in a new command. If we can figure it out. I don't want to ruin this. I'm going to try to type some things in and hope that it works. Alright. Pinball sucks.
    49:55
    Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very good. My pin... Is there a limit? My pinballs. Are you seeing my toilet?
    50:14
    Run. No! Aww. Here's the champ from last night. There it is. Mike took down the tournament. Number one. It was a good battle, buddy. You earned it, you earned it. Nice job. Rob Vieira came in fifth. Yours truly came in third. I got my trophy in my bag over there. And Dutch got sixth. Shiny Boy got second. And that is the tournament update from last night. But yeah, it is day two, the last day, Sunday, and I might as well do sort of a little bit of a wrap-up video here. A lot of games have been purchased, a lot of games have left the building, still some possible good last-minute deals going on here. Thank you for watching. Cotter eating.
    52:13
    So, some vendors are gone, it looks like, but still a good number of machines are here. John Terrest sold his Evel Knievel. He bought a Star Trek.
    52:29
    Dutch sold his Owl's Garage Band. Julie bought a Prospector. It's been some more transactions. I can't remember them all. Looks like Mark's working on, Mark and Julie are working on Prospector right now. Are you trying to, oh, disassemble it? They're having trouble with one-bowl rookies.
    53:03
    This is the last day, last opportunity to play some cool stuff, try and make some good deals. Mike Hanley is trying to give me this giant monstrosity for free, this ball bowler.
    53:20
    He had a price tag for $100 on it. But he'd probably at this point pay someone to remove it. I have a feeling it might end up by the bin, by the dumpster.
    53:33
    He does not want to haul it home with him. All right, well, that is a wrap for Pinfest 2026. Oh, one last thing. This Monopoly, this is actually my old Monopoly that I sold to Kevin and Dutch. Thank you for watching. I'm going to the Monopoly to Ben for his Jurassic Park. So the Monopoly is going back to the Gracie Garage. This is chair cam again. Not as fancy of a chair, but thanks Alex. What do we got? Appetizer. This is camp stags. Got the barbecue. Oh, wieners. Camp Scott Schmidt took all of our condiments. Alright, show is still underway. Things are wrapping up. The vendor table is cleared out. I'm still chilling. And I forgot to mention, Corey also bought a Panthera. Dutch bought a Street Fighter 2. And Cory and Dutch just started breaking down Cory's two old wood rail games and now they're setting them back up because this couple might be interested in buying them. So, resetting them up. Frickin' Rob Vieira.
    55:25
    Getting free shit all over the place. Where'd you get this? This was, I threw out my garbage in my lunch and I'm like, I don't know what that is, that's a t-shirt transfer. So I got my own transfer that I'm going to go home and I have my own heat press. That's awesome. I'm going to be making my own shirts. Yeah. Look at that. Okay, and now we're just sitting here and Greg Walker shows up with a box. Says, hey, I want you to have something. Let's see what it is. Turn it around.
    55:52
    And then, okay, so it comes with this. Like, what the hell? A piece of plywood. Yay. But, check it out. Sea Witch test print. Super cool. Another freebie. In other news, customers appear to be pulling out wads of cash. So, these two machines are likely not coming home with us. Pretty sweet. Rob Edwards just walked over and handed me a free high-speed ramp. But lurking over my shoulder is Rob, who has a high-speed. So, here's more free merch for you. Actually, you know what, Mike? I thought about it. I do have something free for you. Oh, free for me. Yes! I will trade you for a rubber duck. I was already eyeing this guy up. Yeah. I got bags full of them. It's all way over there. All right, I think we're all packed up here. We got a flip-flop that a customer's going to get sort of rat-rotted out just to clear coat it, get it working. And then we got the trailer all loaded up, Flintstones. We got the new Monopoly Street Fighter.
    57:01
    Corey's one game he didn't sell. And Al's Garage Band is coming home temporarily and going to the Flip-Flop guy. And then Computer Space is loaded back up, coming back home with us.
    57:33
