The Pinball Chinwag Podcast UK
- Thread starter Gonzo
- Start date
I see a new feature: "Pinball,Double Vision, Multiball Challenge".
Great stuff boys, really enjoyed that.
I learned a lot from this one. I really should go back and watch the Valhalla video - a table I know nothing about.
Also about time I had another trip to Level.

That was a really interesting conversation to listen to, phil has seen first hand the evolution of pinball over 40 years from varying perspectives, and fair play to gonzo who teased some great titbits out of him .. could of listened to another hr of that
Excellent Chinwag video, really really great to get some honest feedback from Phil also.
That was awesome, thanks for doing that Kris and Phil. Similar feelings to when you had Chris B on, Phil is such a massive part of the hobby in the UK, to hear such a candid interview was brilliant 
I was waiting for Phil to paraphrase Mrs Doyle.. Jack gave Stern a really good kick up the ****
“I’ve played this, pin shoots great”
As opposed to the same make and model elsewhere…
But this is a valid comment, you're saying every pin plays the same?
There's so many factors in what makes a game play nice or "shoot great". Not everyone has the time, attention to detail or OCD levels of obsession to fettle or tweak games for hours or weeks.
There's been a few games I thought I hated until I played someone else's which felt like a different game. This isn't just about how level a game is.
So if someone says "plays great" or "shoots well", depending who it is I'd take that as a reccomendation
We regularly get comments on how nice our games play, I don't think people come out with this for no reason.
Well done Gonzo, great video.
Really is good to see and hear Phil. Many of us have been into pinball for a long while now and all of us know Phil and Pinball Heaven but rarely get to hear from the man himself. Haven't had the pleasure of a NIB from Phil yet but when I can sell one of my kids, I will do.
Absolutely Ben, I'm going to start cranking them up next month. Alan is next then I'll be working through the list mate.
Cheers mate, it was fascinating to learn a few of the intricacies of the trade and about CGC too.
Glad you enjoyed it.. . . I certainly enjoyed doing it.
TBH its taken all I have not to post all of these on Dave's TBL listing as it's such a beautiful machine.We certainly do
"Great price, GLWS"
"I'd have bought this 2 weeks ago, but don't have the space"
"Can't believe this is still here"
Need I go on

TBL has been nothing but reliable, had no issues with it unlike Stern.,
Can’t wait to get my NIB Elvira…. And spend hours sorting out the issues that have been reported all over Pinside..

yours must be the only TBL without issues Dave! I wouldn’t have thought the early ones came with all the fixed and updated parts that Dutch made you buy.
the one we had in the club was out of order more than it was playable! Shocking build quality we dumped it!
my Elvira had nothing wrong with it

The TBL plays fine, the parts are not because the game doesn’t work, but improvement to make it better.
My TBL was finished off by Barry and his team, not the ARA assembly..
Anyway, this is going to end up being another conversation where the retorts can go on, and on..

There's not much to go wrong on a DESWThe last game you bought is probably more reliable

He didn't have a scooby door what I was talking about
I'll get me coat
Enjoyable chat. All the talk about Spencer being happy to put a Halloween in his lounge despite the theme....did you guys forget about Ultraman? The same pin with a different theme?
Roadshow is such a turd of a game. One of the worst pins ever made. Good luck with that, it will be interesting to see where that places on the wall!

Another cracking chat!
Morning mate.
Not done much on Roadshow yet but it's fun which is a great start.
We did know about Ultraman being released but I have to admit that I'm even less familiar with the theme than Halloween
Massive thanks to @Jackpot and @roadshow16 for being such good sports.
Apologies for the hurried nature of the video but we needed to get the recording completed before the chaps catch their helicopter to Germany.
Best of luck to all the UK based players heading out to Germany.
