Hi! We are now planning on digital book format, and also a possible audio book. We were also asked about a ten book package too. We expect Volume One to be ready for shipping mid August...we have a deadline for Volume 2 for the Pinball Expo in Chicago where I will be giving a seminar also. Here is the official press release sent to local media! Thanks for all the interest folks! We think each volume will also evolve as we add other things to the format.

RELEASE OF PINBALL ADVENTURES: VO L I, FIRST BOOK BY TODD TUCKEY, OWNER OF TNT AMUSEMENTS

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (June 18th, 2018) – Todd Tuckey, owner of TNT Amusements Inc. , has
signed a deal to write a ten volume set of books, detailing the experiences he has had over the years in
finding, restoring and selling pinball machines. Each book will feature 30 different machines while also
containing pictures and details about each individual pinball.

Seeing a demand in the thousands of emails and calls he receives monthly, Todd has decided to share his
vast, 40-year knowledge of the pinball industry with the world, not only in his 23,000+ subscribers on his
YouTube channel , but with pinball lovers all over the world! In book form, he can showcase both popular
and more obscure pinball machines that many will remember fondly. Keep in mind that Todd pioneered
home sales of these arcade machines in the United States as a full-time business with TNT Amusements
Inc. back in the early 80’s when other companies only sold games during the holiday season. To promote
his business, he produced the first half hour infomercial in the world on this unique industry in 1993
which aired on local channels until 2013.

Pre-order for the first volume of “Pinball Adventures” can be found here:
www.pinballbuzz.com/shop/regular-pinball-adventures/pinball-adventures-vol-1

Each volume will focus on specific genres of pinball machines — ranging from The Movies, Science
Fiction, Horror, etc., and will detail select machines and how they play. The first volume will be a mix of
everything! Most importantly, he will share secrets he has learned over the years about each model to
help collectors fix their own machines.

These stories will take inspiration from the TNT Amusements YouTube channel that contains over 1,400+
videos that feature the restoration process and all about the different arcade machines he sells. However,
he covers other topics not arcade related, including trips to historic places and unusual places and also
antique Americana, like specialty player pianos from the teens and costly 30’s radios. With over 23,000+
subscribers, his popular videos have been viewed for over 40,000 million minutes.

Other topics covered will be zany experiences with his customers, discussing his advertising strategies
with his now infamous late night infomercials, hosting over 26,000+ unique arcade parties in his
showrooms, buying and selling 30,000+ machines all over the world, and discussion about different
machines & how they are reconditioned.

Hi everyone! Glad most of you enjoyed the Volume One of the book! I certainly enjoyed sharing some of my adventures that I have had in this industry! I wrote ALL of the stories for all 27 of the pinball machines listed on the cover page. I also wrote ALL of the technical pages and accompanied them with pictures I took at TNT, and also provided the personal pictures on the "Pinball Expert" on page 144. This took perhaps 140 hours of my time this summer. ALL other written and picture content was written, chosen and laid out by the publisher. I was not given the chance to see or proofread anything before this first printing was done. I understand the errors made are being corrected for the second printing, but the publisher and I have both come to an understanding and we have moved on. I will NOT be part of Volumes 2 through 10 but I wish them well in the future "Pinball Adventures" volumes coming out over the next few years! Todd N. Tuckey

Actually, they don't know the rest of the story....but very shortly they will! Todd

Speaking of families, here's part of our TNT Family that you know and
love from our YouTube channel! Today, we crossed 25,000 subscribers
and have millions of views - and that's because of our amazing viewers
and fans.

Thank you, all, for your continued support! We will try to have an
official response to Andrew's post by next week after conferring with
our lawyers.

It was YOU that put us over 25,000!! Todd

Ahhhh..."Joe", who changes into "Michael" in Part Two...this guy was so insane! Its hard to believe this answering machine message was recorded in 1987! Sea Wolf was 11 years old and we sold it for $175 back then! But it would have been in Primo, Crem de la Creme condition!

I am sorry Andrew, but so much is just plain untrue. I have so many emails to back this up too. As soon as my lawyer gives approval, I will address each point completely and then people can judge for themselves! Todd Tuckey

I just begged the sheriff a moment ago to keep my doors from being padlocked for one more day! He agreed to, if I posed for a selfie with him! He said he remembers watching my informercials for many, many years and has had several memorable parties in our party room we have been running for thirty one years. We celebrate FORTY YEARS of TNT Amusements Inc now!

Hmmmm... can any of our regular viewers tell me how many videos I tell everyone we are going bankrupt? Or that I don't have enough money to make a payment on my Bentley? (I actually never had one--another one of my endless brags and exaggerations I do in our videos). I thought people caught on to these same lines that I use--like all the eyepokes and face slaps that aren't REALLY happening. (And NO, the POLYBIUS Arcade Game in our warehouse maybe ISN'T haunted after all, and that we made that up too!) I CAN tell you that many of my local competitors HAVE gone bankrupt or closed down--including ALL THREE of the Game Distributorships in Philadelphia---there are none left now---and "I'm still standing after all these years" (quoting Elton John)!

And yes, its a GRAND idea Andrew! Your suggestion is perfect and I will do JUST THAT! I will plan on writing and SELF PUBLISHING my own book that will tell my complete story--starting when I purchased my first machines as a hobby when I was 15 years old. I can then share all of my exploits and adventures I have had from back then to this current day! My early days of vending the machines in locations, starting to sell them from my driveway and the funny stuff that happened, buying my first building (we still own--without a mortgage I might add). And when I detail any of the machines I talk about, I will tell a full story about the game and not have someone cut pages out of my writings without telling me. I will cover opening our retail and party business and tips for everyone on how to do this. I will also tell the neat stories of my movie business my film business that still remains active to this day. Gotta go for now...the bank just showed up to close me down. (But I will hold Andrew to his word of buying my first book--on glossy paper and the right size). Todd

WOW...thank you ever so much! I just read this to Frank and Curt and they were pleased too! I appreciate it! Todd

We will fund it ourselves without asking our fans and friends! (as long as I don;t go Bankrupt in the interim!) I do appreciate it though! Todd

Hi! We only have T shirts up to 2X...HOWEVER...we have had so much demand, we are now going to set up a complete T shirt line that will have some of my quotes I say all the time and my face on shirt...they would available in any color or size, with or without pocket! Also the stuff would be available on a Mug! We would keep the costs a slow as possible, but then people could place orders exactly as they want them! Just think! My Face (or Franks or Brother Rob, etc....) What do you think?

we will work on this all this coming week...my daughter Tammy has T Shirts set up for her channel as well..and is assisting! We have some great ideas!

thats a great idea!

OMG perfect! " B A G S " ! For those of you that don't understand or are not in the "know", here is how the BAGS legend began! At Pintastic in Massachusetts in 2017, they had an auction and the arcade game BAGS was there. I tell the story of this legendary game. This video is alot of fun, and BAGS keeps making an appearance--including my interpretation on how the board of directors came up with the name. ..and in this video I have cued it up to BAGS first appearance! WATCH and understand...and laugh!

This is cued up to what I figured happened when the board of directors discussed what to name their new game!

And NONE of that appeared in volume one of "My Book"....but it will when I publish MY book!

Sadly, I do not control or ever see the money...pinball buzz handled all that.

You may need a third one perhaps, to level a shuffle alley! (The video is linked up to this moment)

We will try to cover as much as I can.....

Stay Tuned for my 18 page response! It's coming!

The response is up! https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/todd-tuckey-s-response-to-pinball-adventures-book-deal-termination-#post-4707768

Thanks to everyone who supported me on this post!

I never got my corrected copy or was asked to help with all the errors. I am not part of any future volumes either.

Andrew sent me a box today...have not opened it yet, but I am sure he sent a few of the revised editions. I will compare it with the original version and see if he caught all the errors I had noted (I only got through perhaps 65% of the book and stopped). Todd
