Fish Tales is not a forgotten gem. It's still regarded as a classic.

it's just a pleasure to see old artisans working on those beloved machines there been doing that long before is was born

Pinball was VERY important with my friends and I. Going to the local small town bowling alley with a slug of nickels was a good time!! Way before the Fish Tales machine. “Gapping” the flippers to catch the ball and hold it so you could line up the perfect shot, knowing where on the side of the machine to give a whack to get a “match” and win free games. It worked more often than not!! Great times.

"All existing metalwork, including the legs...are painstakingly taken off" Tech removes just a few allen screws lol

I had no idea how many pieces of electronics were inside a pinball machine! Wow that’s crazy

Great memories playing this as a young teenage kid, great work on the restoration

I do love a pinball machine. My only criticism is that most of the commentary is inaccurate. Ie. When he says he's installing LEDs in the speaker when in fact he's putting LEDs in a bumper. I agree with previous comment, it's a rebuild not a restoration. Nevertheless, it's great and the LEDs will not need replacing in the same way as the old incandescent bulbs.

This is exciting to see! As a pinball repairman myself I also get pinball machines working and I am also working on my LaserCue full restoration.
