Literally jaw-dropped when I saw that earlier this morning. If you look at his other videos it seems he built the whole thing from scratch himself. I can't even imagine the amount of time that took....

Looks great. Doubt that really makes that sound. At least two of the xylophone keys are off their pegs. Great visuals though

This has gotten a lot of talk on a few rolling ball sculpture groups I am a part of. It really is a great engineering feat!

Some people suggest swapping balls out every month, so someone must.

Hey John! Weather starting to get like Spring over here! Any new high scores on the TAF?

Just finished up Season #5 of a Classic Pinball League. 5 private homes and access to over 40 different titles from Bally, Stern and Gottlieb all from the mid 70's to early 80's.

The finals were hosted at my place. We warred head to head best 2 out of 3 double elimination on these titles:

Stargazer
ALI
Quicksilver
Stars
EBD
Flash Gordon
Bow and Arrow
Williams Defender (rare pin in nicely restored shape brought by one of our league members)

I’ve been following the rebuild for the last couple years, and it’s starting to get close to Complete. His plan is to tour the world and do shows with it.
