If you liked this video, watch his earlier video on how electromechanical jukeboxes work.

They are marvelous - multiplayer games with mechanical counters all based on relays, switches and coils.

Oh, just yesterday I heard him made a Tedium reference. I think it's on the clapper video.

If you like pinball, you owe it to yourself to play the two pinball games on the PSP. Both feature incredible physics, mechanics, and presentation. Gottlieb is much easier than Williams, however with cheat codes and save states, Williams tables can all be unlocked and played easily.
I play pinball all the damn time now on my phone, I just had to expand the controls to make the L and R buttons huge so as to never miss pressing them. Best phone games. |

It's sad so many historic machines will eventually go out of service because the boards for them no longer exist. Have to hope 3D printing makes it reasonable to print a batch of 1.
Also, if you are ever in Los Angeles, check out 82. It's a bar that works with an arcade museum so they always have interesting machines and well-restored. Their cocktails are expensive but really good. If you're in Seattle, Silverball. The beer is cheap and it's a totally different vibe but still great. |

There are modern replacements for many pinball machine boards. Pretty much every pinball machine part has modern replacements available. If you ever get a change to buy a pinball machine for a reasonable price, get it. If it's broken, all the better. You can get it cheap and fix it.
