For Amusement Only EM and Bingo Pinball Podcast

Episode 3 in a series on score reels. What are the pieces that actually hold a score reel together? How do they work together and change state?

Ramps, lighted scoring, DC-driven coils, multi-level playfields - all were children of the 1930s, and continue to inform today's games.

A special holiday episode with repeat guest host, Fake Nick Baldridge, who once again joins the For Amusement Only podcast to discuss esoteric pingame manufacturer, Nantucket Nickel, and their second production release. Thanks, FNB!

What are the star zones on a Mystic Line bingo for, anyway? How do you earn a red letter game? How do you even open a bingo? There's so many locks!

I've been digging myself out of my backlog on local service calls since my return from Texas. I talk about one interesting EM call I had recently. Coin-Op Carnival's reception has been fantastic! Come see Ryan at the second tour stop for the book at the MSU Abram's Planetarium, Sunday, April 14th at 6PM. This is a free event! Following Ryan's presentation (a 360 degree video of Wayne Neyens demonstrating his "Spirit of '76" and his office with pinball memorabilia), there will be a book signing and an array of great games designed by Wayne Neyens or featured in Coin-Op Carnival #1. More information available at www.coinopcarnival.com/appearances. Sophie has been learning how to repair EMs by working on a Universal "5-Star", which is a very unique game. She's looking forward to playing it soon. Today's featured game is Gottlieb's "Coronation" from 1952. This is one of the iconic games of the woodrail era, notable for its fantastic art package as well as its gameplay. The plastics on this game have been recreated by Ryan Claytor and are for sale at the Pinball Resource: You can reach me at [email protected] or via the bingos line at 724-BINGOS-1 You can listen to the show on iTunes, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, Google Play Music, Spotify, Facebook, Twitter (bingopodcast) or follow me on Instagram (also bingopodcast).
