Look at Ballys' Swan Song released March 1988 right before they closed their doors! Production run says 3000 made...but I have only had 4 of them pass through our doors in all these years (plus the one we junk, as you will see in this video!)
Learn many of the neat secrets and gameplay on this rarely seen game so WHEN you find one, you will be able to play it better! PLUS---a Strikemaster Shuffle Bowling Alley and a classic SKEEBALL machine going out too! Enjoy!

I live in West Virginia and use to attend the Blackwater 100 race. It was a blast! A few years after they stopped the race I saw one of these machines and swore I would own one some day. Well, long story short, I owned 2 at the same time. I kept the one that was in better shape and sold the other. I love the memories it triggers for me!
Mr Todd if i lived in your town I 100% would work for you just to buy your arcades you have for sale.because of your workmanship you put into making them last for years. I have 10 i have saved up and brought over the the last 2 years its a slow process but watching your you tube channel keeps me inspired to keep going so that i can open a small arcade lounge

I am glad our videos are enjoyed by you! Make sure you keep watching and commenting!
It's a collector's game for sure
I don't know how I found this channel, but I'm glad I did. I've spent my weekend watching these videos non-stop. G'day from Sydney, Australia. Keep up the good work!

Tony Wolf Hi Tony! Keep watching!! We have over 950 videos now....so it will take a L O N G time to see them all! Glad to have you as a subscriber!
Hey Todd. I'm "that guy" that said 'I fast forward to the meat of the video'. Certainly wasn't doing much of that at all in this video. What an incredibly detailed video on this pin. Great tech detail as well. Perfection! I'd imagine we might be treated to a few more of these as you replace some of the deleted SD videos with HD ones. I can't wait!

Jared Morgan Thanks Jared! Gld you liked the video!!!
Todd you are too kind!! I saw this vid and what a surprise. Threw me off at first. Definitely made my day. Couldn't wipe the smile off my face all day. Hahahaa Ya I have to resort to watching your vids on my 40 inch tv. My 6 yr old 61 inch rear projection tv kept burning bulbs. Went through 4?!?!? Lifi technology??? Don't know why!! Oh frank lmao. I wish there was more snow here right now. Saskatoon=snow in February, certainly not right now! Was nice and most of it melted. Ya I guess I'm 1 of the 3 people that watch the vids. Hahaha Todd, one day I want to make it to tnt and meet you and your crew and play all the games. I would absolutely love that. Unfortunately there isn't much for pinball here anymore. Rare commodity these days😢 love how you keep pinball alive!

Yes...plain and simple too!
I live in the area of the old race. There's still one of the old pinball machines in one of the restaurants in town.
I watched 100 videos and never commented before. I'm amazed you guys can put these things together in that shop because there are piles of stuff on every usable space and shelf in the warehouse. You guys need someone to organize your stuff (volunteering if you fly me to PA). Love the videos. Don't stop the green screens. Todds authentic personality is why I find your videos MUST SEE. I also appreciate the level of detail both in describing things in the videos and the quality work that you put into these things.
There's tiny trivia about tilt warning setting difference on Bally 6803: Most alphanumerical solid state pinball machines does have tilt warning settings displayed with offset of 1. Bally 6803 system shows similar setting with no offset at all. That means if you set for instance, Bally Midway's Truck Stop's tilt warnings to 2, the amount of these will be actually equal to other machine's such setting, for example, Williams Riverboat Gambler's adjustment number 10 being set to 3. The background music setting is also unusal: if you set it to "NO", then game will be mostly silent if there's no action on the table.

T shirt idea. "The Peanut Gallery" with floating heads of jonathan, curt, wallace frank and all the rest. As long as Wallace's head is about 2x bigger than all the others of course. I'd buy 10. Nice TNT logo on the front pocket. EDIT: Also.. that zookeeper in the back... oh baby

Ever had a 6803 Black Belt come through your doors Todd?. The only one I saw and played, had faulty (or it might of been deliberate) outlane diverter gates, which made for a quick game. Luckily I have played BW100, and it was very popular. Particular like how every inch of the play field is used. Pity this system was not used further. Discs of Tron?..you'll have to start paying it wages. It's there every day without fail. Joking..

Hi Todd. Do you know what kind of soldering pencil Franklin is using in this video? I've never seen one like it!

Boy, we have enough material for a really good reality show...I keep hoping SOMEONE will stumble on these videos and give us a show!! It's one of the reasons I have been going back and deleting the older videos with no "fun" stuff in them, if we have a newer video of same game.
I really love your videos, Todd. But I think it's about time to clean your camera lens. With all that superbrights you can hardly see anything. ;) Anyway, well done and loving it.

Why didn't you green screen yourself to the "Barbarella" moment? Because if you would have, you can edit out the "essence of man" line and replace it with "essence of Todd".
Why aren't the drop targets or flippers original???

Hamish Guthrey Yes, we thought about it...and they are still on one of our hard drives for possible future use, BUT the low def ones are very "dry" with no effects, crappy titles, and very little humor! ....and the high def ones show so much more...PLUS...the LED's are in the newer videos too. It's best to show our games in the best possible light. The new videos we will do...will be on an individual game we HAVE NOT done yet...and if its a game we have done several on, we will do a brief one and include it in the new "COMBO" video format we started at Christmas!! Keep watching!

TNT Amusements Inc Fair enough :) I've only recently started watching, and am in the pre-ownership stage of collecting machines. Your videos make for excellent research material when browsing the local for-sale listings, and your humor and torture of your staff certainly adds to the enjoy-ability. Horray for torture! :)

He is OUTTA here! That CREEP!
frankly a tripod video of a Frank's soldering tips would be better at 48 minutes. but nothing else on tv. might as well :P I just have 2 cheap soldering pencils. one the tip comes off. but nothing to clean it off. my older one yes it did have stuff to clean stuff up with but not everyone is a soldering pro. so sometime a Franks tips might work on how to properly solder. My brother has done some. But he notes 1. Silver solder is hard to find 2. when you do find it there's only certain kinds for electricity. Some aren't. Nevermind trying to find out how thick to get the solder. Naturally I have Lead solder. go to the bargain basement folks it's all lead. I'd probably find that more interesting than yawn. Okay who's up for long videos :P to me 15 min is a long video 10 min is just right. 48 minutes. I'm asking for frank and he doesn't even really need to talk I can watch. Like trying to find the fuse on a tv PSU where obviously it's not a normal fuse. I've yet to find it. I figure its inside these brown boxes they have soldered in. although anyone up for a 24 inch AU Optronics TNT panel. not the monitor just the panel . I'd rather not chuck it. chucked the rest of the monitor but I don't think theres anything wrong with that panel.
videos are getting a bit long but deleted your old vids? awwww some of the old ones were fun. course it would be wise while pushing HD to make sure the lens of this camera is clean (and not like my glasses )araghhhhh scratch resistant not bad but anti reflection.. can't clean (grrrr) you'll have to roll the non HD's into one video or something..

Lee Bartholomew I am doing individual videos on games we haven't filmed yet...these will be more lengthy....on games we have done numerous videos on, I am combining them in these COMBO videos...so each machine gets less coverage...other than the main points. It takes ALOT of time to film, edit, reshoot, and reedit these videos...adding titles, etc, and I think this will save us time to concentrate on the GAMES getting out! We actually have more stuff sold for January and now February than for December!!
