Gameplay and details on Bally's early 60's magic screen game Roller Derby.

Later EMs from all the major manufacturers used DC power to drive certain coils.

Did you know that Genco games from the late 30s also did the same?  And earlier games can be modified to use DC power, after transforming what comes from the wall.

This episode is all about the technology that allows this to happen.

You've bought the stinky filthy game of your dreams.  Now what?  Follow the advice of episode 51, and then do this.  Your olfactory sense will thank you.

Interview with Jeffrey Lawton, the pre-eminent bingo technician, and has been working on bingos for many many years.  He is also the man that wrote the books - Bally Bingo Pinball Machines, and The Bingo Pinball War (Bally vs. United).  Purchase online at Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=bingo+pinball&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Abingo+pinball

or catch Jeffrey at the York show and pick up a copy.  A very handy reference to the games and their features, in order of their release, along with great photos and Jeffrey's stories about the machines.

Steve Smith and I sat down and talked about bingos and working on games, and did a bit of storytelling.

How to fix some basic problems with cabinets and another thing which could be dangerous if not corrected.

Also: an interesting bingo at Allentown!

Yet another way to get injured on a pinball machine.  Ensure all your machines have tempered glass before someone gets hurt.  Better to clean tiny pieces of glass out of the machine than large chunks out of your arms!

Nothing beats the feeling of picking up a new project!  I tend to get some pretty rough games (cause I'm cheap).  The furry or fecal surprises inside must be removed - even under the transformer board!

I'm no expert, as I've said early on.  Here are some of my stupid mistakes, learned during my time refurbishing games.  There are others, of course, but here are the choice cuts, my favorites.
