Quoted from Vino:

Just hit the five stars for uncle pinball!

That's Bee-You-Tee, Daddio! Thanks for the support. I'ma trying to keep them fairly short; don't wanna wear out my welcome, so to speak, but I get that many people use this for driving and running other shit that I don't really do, so I'm kinda starting to stretch a little.

Thanks again for the kind words.

Uncle Pinball be dropping episode #55: Trident!
NPA! New Pinball Acquisition! 1979 Stern Trident. Have you experienced the 2,3,4,5 drop targets? Four (4!) slingshots?! No left outlane? Two rippable spinners. Open right elbow lane? Prolly not. I know I hadn't. And I thought that drop target thing was a bug, not a feature at first! I tore the whoole mech apart before i read the manual. LOLOL!
Classic Stern weirdness! Starting to LUV this game!
Gonna be a nice little show-bringer: easy to move, a little beat, works great, really fun!

This is a great game I agree. But I can't help wondering if this and other games (Gottlieb 'Big Brave' for example) were built for bath houses or similar establishments. The artwork seems too blatant to be unintentional. Is this a pinball industry secret? I wish someone in the know would come out (no pun intended) with whether or not they were marketing to a specific sector with these games. In an industry that was historically overly and overtly designed with female physique centric artwork, these games really stand apart.

Update:
We rescheduled Uncle Pinball's interview with Tim. We're going Thursday night.
So you got time to post specific questions for our Grumpy Pinball Dad, Tim Arnold!

I have a few Tim stories too

Uncle Pinball is your new fave podcast; you just don't know it yet!

#129 3 years ago

Episode 56: Triple Action!
This is one of the machines that really hooked Uncle Pinball on pinball. So many quarters spent on this game in the 70s.
Where TOTAN got the spinner! (Mebbe even the theme?)
Also the only game I've owned twice!

Just some somethin somethins from my Tim interview:

He really does have EVERY GOTTLIEB GAME. EVERY SINGLE ONE.
He won't talk fave machines because then there would be haters.

Quoted from DakotaMike:

Thanks, Mang! I was really impressed by him.

#138 3 years ago

Uncle Pinball is on fire! Six (6), count 'em, six episodes in five days!
Episode 61: First EM Drama.
Duuude, just buy one, or two or three and find out for yourself what you like.
All yer gonna hear around here is wedgehead, wedgehead, wedgehead. sigh.
I wonder if they had made the backboxes rectangular, if they would be as popular today...
Anyway... pinball on, Homies!

Love from Uncle EM

Hard NO! No matter how groovy. Here's why!

https://unclepinball.buzzsprout.com/

Live on my BuzzSprout Site. Should be live elsewhere soon.

Bonus Double Feature!

Dropping later tonight: Caucasian2Step!

#141 3 years ago

Hoo Boy! Caucasian2Step (Aka: Kevin) and I had a very wide-ranging and interesting conversation over the course of almost an hour! And we didn't even get to pinball machine ratings or faves or recommendations! So we're gonna have a second chat soon. Party!

I still hafta edit this one down to 2 or 3 episodes (unless there's a demand for all 55 minutes at once), plus my podcast account only has 19 more minutes of upload left until tomorrow, so I'll drop part one then!

Thanks again Kevin, it was a pleasure!

Uncle Pinball sez nigh nigh!

#142 3 years ago

Finally! My upload limit reset!

Episode #63: Let's do the Caucasian2Step - Part 1. Ok Commuters, you got it! Longest Episode yet!
Part One of a very wide-ranging pinball conversation with Kevin, aka @Caucasian2step! Longtime pinhead, operator, podcaster, respected reviewer. So much to talk about that we ran out of time and are going to talk again soon. We went close to an hour this time, and we didn't even get to the reviewing machines part! Guess you got incentive to tune in next time.

Episode #65! Who'da thunk, huh?
Uncle Pinball is back to jabbering by (at?) his own bad self. This time it's mostly about the groovy new addition to my groovy new Trident. An Arduino Nano running new code gives 1979 Trident modes, baby. Stackable modes. uh huh. Skill shot, ball save, sharpshooter drop targets mode! You can even hook up a little wavtrigger board for speech and music. Sooooo killer, and dual boot to boot!

Also in this episode Uncle Pinball rants at all the haters on the PHOF GoFundMe thread. grrrrr.

Available now on my site and soon, Grasshopper soon, everywhere else.

He's up to 8 machines and already fixing and flipping! Yeah, Baby! Plus, I might still end up with that HH... if I can talk HIS MOM out of it!
