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.

Thank you very much for listening, and I'll talk to you next time.
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: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/multi-races-the-multi-one-ball-horserace-game
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.
