Allentown Pinfest was last weekend and it was a lot of fun. Thank you to friends new and old that made it a huge success for the Multi and for me. The Multi played well at Allentown, despite a pretty bone-headed mistake I made in coding before the show... lots of compliments and lots of help forthcoming or received at the show. I did sneak away and play the beautiful custom "Nightmare Before Christmas" machine ) - and the creator also learned about bingos in turn. I'm looking forward to York now, and how I will implement the improvements planned (and maybe a couple of surprises)! Today's Year of Flipperless game is United's 1946 "Sea Breeze" - a beautiful fun-looking game with multiple sequences. http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=2079

I just came across an announcement that the Canada Pincon is going to have a history of pinball booth with: 1932 Bally Goofy 1935 Bally Bumper 1932 Bally Ballyhoo 1939 Keeney Thriller and a 1954 Bally Surf Club! If you're in the area, check out the show at - and let me know how you enjoy the history of pinball games! Getting back to my roots a bit, thought I would talk a little about how to narrow down a backbox illumination problem in a Gottlieb woodrail, as a question came up on Pinside recently. Lastly, we're headed towards the end of the Year of Flipperss - today's entry is 1935's Rockola "TNT": As always, if you'd like to get in touch, you can email me at or call me on the bingos line at (724) BINGOS-1 - (724-246-4671) - thank you for listening and I'll talk to you next time.

A great story from Graham TerMarsch - three donated Bally Big Times were used to teach kids at his son's school about reverse engineering and they ended up restoring one of the games - congratulations everyone! This week I also wanted to highlight a couple of interesting notes on the Pinside forum regarding bingos: One person has trouble with their left and right buttons in a Magic Screen game, with a simple, but easy to overlook fix: And second, another owner converts his beautiful Bally "Bikini" to have wooden rails - an interesting modification: The Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown is this weekend, June 8-10 in Denver, CO. Phil Bogema will be there this year and will be bringing two beautifully restored Bally bingos: Parade and Carnival Queen. Phil does stunning work, and I look forward to hearing the show reports from players there. Today is the penultimate "Year of Flipperless" game: 1932's Amusement Corporation of America's "Ski-Doo 23": As always you can find me on Facebook at Instagram Twitter Thank you for listening!

The biggest news for today's episode: the announcement of the Multi Races project. Thanks to Dennis Dodel for the name! The plan is to make another Multi-type game that will allow you to play all 49 of the one-ball horse race games. Very excited to get started. I've made a thread here: The Multi-Bingo still needs some animations written for a handful of Bally games and almost all of the United games. Robo-Frenzy - I decided a while ago upon a design for the timer unit - I had previously stacked too much on that one unit. I'm moving certain circuits to trip relays instead, which will simplify the timer unit design. Unfortunately, I ordered the wrong part. After York, I'll get back to the game. Two small updates to the last podcast, I talk about repairing the Bally Ballerina and going through the underside of the Williams Rag Mop that Ryan and I discussed. Thank you, as always, for listening!

United's coin flash animations are in process - I discuss the mechanical differences between Bally and United games from the perspective of coin flash, then give some simple updates on Robo-Frenzy and Multi Races. Jones Plugs are fantastic for allowing simple connection/disconnection of the head of a game or a coin door from the cabinet body, but it's important to double check these plugs when your game is having problems, especially if a new (to you) game, or a game that has recently been moved. Lastly, the game for today is Gottlieb's "Double-Shuffle" from 1949. Twin scoring, similar to Twin Bill, but with a simple, fun sequence on either side of the playfield. Attractive artwork and backglass animation round out the package. Extra special - 1/2 Million? Sign me up. Thank you, as always, for listening!

I am back from a very special vacation - Dennis Dodel was willing to open his gameroom to a few of us traveling to Wayne Neyens' 100th birthday celebration! I had an excellent time and discuss some of the games and what makes them special. Thank you Dennis! Next, I traveled to Wayne's home to help him ring in his 100th year and discuss some of what made that special event so extremely special to me. Thank you Wayne, for being such an amazing man - you are an inspiration, and I am so honored and humbled to have been one of the people cheering you on at your party. The citation presented to Wayne: The man himself, finishing a ball on his "Spirit of '76": And finally, a photo of us together, in front of the toolbox he used at Gottlieb(!):

I've finished all the various programming bits and this is the final programming episode of the podcast for the Multi-Bingo (I promise). Today's game is 1938's Genco "Gay Time". It has a mechanism that kicks the ball into various pockets and increments your score. The final pocket will kick down and back into play. Very neat idea from the era of experimentation.

I've almost finished programming the first game for Multi-Races. Bally's Turf King is one of the last one ball horserace games, and therefore one of the most complex. Once I've finished it, I should have no trouble with other games. I talk about the interesting parts of portioning, as well as some of the features of the game. Robo-Frenzy is coming along quite nicely. Two units remain to be wired into the game, and I have a plan on how to do it. Today's featured game is Williams "Dreamy" from 1950.

I'm continuing to program Multi-Races, and am working backwards chronologically. I've arrived at the first game Bally produced post-war, 1946's Victory Derby and Victory Special. I speak a bit about the large changes in portioning that these earlier games have from the later (Don Hooker designed) games. Robo-Frenzy has been tested, and I have found a flaw in the 30V line which will require a bit of rewiring (once I find the problem). I will be at the Texas Pinball Festival, 2019 in Frisco, TX - with Multi-Bingo in tow! Come say "Hi", and try to win a prize.
