I talk with Ava about Pop-A-Card, the first game I purchased, and the machine that brought me my love of repairing and playing Gottlieb machines (all eras) and EMs and Bingos!

Mar 30, 2015

I talk to Steve Smith and give him wide berth to tell his view of how we met and how I fell in love with bingos.  He discusses various topics, including differences between flipper vs. bingo pinball, playing on location as a kid, and how he got his first pinball.

 

Forgive sound quality - I was sitting too far from the mic and didn't notice.

Mar 29, 2015

Describing how to use the schematic for Pop-A-Card to troubleshoot both a scoring and a lamp problem.

Mar 28, 2015

Beginning talk about what the symbols represent and what those devices do.  I don't describe a switch in great detail, but will be doing so next time.

Mar 27, 2015

Double-Up is working now, but I re-learned the same lesson I've learned 1 million times already.  The simplest answer is often correct.

Mar 26, 2015

Jones Plug care and feeding and I work on Double-Up - fixing a couple of problems, and creating more!  All this and lots of repeating myself.

Mar 25, 2015

The devil is in the details, and carry-over switches are one detail that you can't ignore.

 

Proper cleaning and adjustment allow for operation of the next higher score reel.

Mar 24, 2015

Discussion of hugely popular baseball-themed games from the 50s and 60s.

 

I'll leave discussion of 1930's and 40's games for another episode.

Mar 23, 2015

Big thanks to the support of two of my favorite pinball podcasts - The Pinball Podcast with Don and Jeff and The Spooky Pinball Podcast, specifically the EM Dungeon segment.

Thanks fellas!

One ball horse racing games were made by Bally and were around for over a decade before the first bingo.
