  • I show the secrets to the world's largest pinball manufacturer, Stern. We see how it's made - Pinball Machines, from start to finish. We show what makes Stern pinball the best in the business as well as give a little history on the man that saved pinball. At the time of production the John Wick pinball was Stern's latest pin on assembly.

      I'd say the simpsons one I actually owned a pinball machine as a kid i don't remember the theme of it but I still have it was definitely a loose.definition of one it didn't have a lot of blinking lights.

    There was a local old school arcade in the town next to mine when I was a kid in the early-mid 1990s, and they had a pinball machine that I fell in love with👍 That pinball machine was "Twilight Zone" (Bally, 1993)🙏 Unfortunately in 1999 that arcade permanently closed😞 As a young kid my parents exposed me to the original Twilight Zone tv show, and to this days The Twilight Zone is one of my all-time favorite tv shows. Every year, I love watching the New Year's Eve Twilight Zone marathon on the Sci-Fi network👍 In 2019, a small retro themed arcade opened in the town next to me, and in 2021 they got an original mint condition Twilight Zone pinball machine😁 I go there at least twice a month to play me beloved Twilight Zone pinball🙏

There are many over the yrs with stern tours but yours was far better than a lot out there. I had the chance a year past to play a tournament game of turtles with Tim sexton and he is an amazing dude among many at stern. Fun fact I just got a new in box rush premium this year I had waiting for me since it’s released. What a fun game dedicated to a band I love. Also Deadpool is awesome!!!

    My how times have changed. In 2008 (ish), the Discovery Channel covered pinball (at Stern's old factory) in their "How It's Made" series and it was over 1/2 a mile worth of wiring in the machine back then. It's impressive that they were able to reduce it to 1/4 mile now. It's thanks to the node network system (aka the SPIKE hardware) that they were able to achieve this. Think of it as having multiple minicomputers in the machine and all of them are networked together via Ethernet cable.

    • @arcade_matt

      Sharpe not Shark and it wasn't that dramatic. Some cities such as NYC, LA and Chicago banned pinball in the 40s due to the Pinball Parlors being tied to the Mafia and illegal gambling scene. Keep in mind that the rest of the state, where those cities are located in didn't have such bans. All Roger Sharpe did was prove to those cities that pinball was no longer a game of chance and is 100% skill. In other words, it's for amusement now and not under the table gambling.
