- Todd Tuckey shows you a Close Encounters...still with the original manual and warranty cards inside! Now decked out with LED's (TNT charges NO EXTRA to upgrade these machines with LED's!), this game looks just terrific! PLUS---Todd plus a simple prank on Tony, and he gets even! Oh, how he will pay for that infraction!

The hammering destroys this wonderful video.
I have a Gottlieb Count Down and Joker Poker in my collection at the present time. I want to add a Close Encounters of a third kind to my collection so bad. I want to add a Close Encounters of a third kind to my collection so bad. I wish i could find one like you did in a basement since early 1980's that wasn't abused on route. Thanks for showing off such an outstanding condition game.
We have a beautiful one right now in our showroom!
We had this game in my house growing up in the 80s. First pinball machine I ever played!
Glad it brought back memories!
Another great video
Stop that racketttt!!
Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang.....
Best prank yet
Pranks A-Go-Go!
Yeah I would still work there. Zip ties make excellent pranks
Oh boy, I laughed so well! :-)))))) Hey Todd, you got a bad hair day! :-)))
Those boys are MEAN to me!! :-)
I say more of this 7:50
When you do this! 9:57
You're going to get it Todd! I still want to work there but I'll be the one pulling the pranks.
Sooner or later........
I think they're getting a wee bit too comfy with their gags on you Todd! It's time to show them who's boss!!
Yes...this was Tony's first time getting "Frisky" with me!
gosh hope he hasn't been reading my f**** bloops . O_O although really where is that plastic wrap :P should just wrap something so much it bounces..
beautiful deck! love the art and the color , I also like the backglass numbers, what type are they? they seem so bright and clear
Nextgen FM Thanks! The displays are the original glass tubes...we always charge them up to make them bright and clear again!
With these late 70s games, they often did both an electromechanical version and a solid state version. Which do you think are best of the two?
ALWAYS...the Electronic version is superior...accurate scoring, tons less moving parts and sparking switches! Not to mention faster play.
Pinball is an awesome game sadly it seems lost on the current generation, but who knows maybe it will make a full blown comeback one day. what is the oldest pinball machine you have ever personally come into contact with? either by selling or just playing when you were a kid? there's soo many classics. I once knew someone once who had Black Hole. LOVE Your channel so fun to watch :)
I suspect that more players will come into the hobby!!
I'm dying to see how Todd pays him back.
Keep watching!
My Close Encounters machine has 44 bulbs where the 455 flashers are on yours… May be a silly question, but will 455 flashers work where the 44's are now? Also, where can I get a new power supply? I'd love to upgrade the original to something more modern for longevity. THanks!
Michael Reiher Yes...the 455 flashers runs on the same 6 volts and weill easily replace the 44!
I'm surprised they did not make a ET pinball machine since it was one of the most popular movies with kids in the 80s
I agree...possibly Spielberg's price for the license was too high?? Hard to say. Close Encounters was a Columbia movie...and Gottlieb was a Columbia subsidiary!!
I keep hoping Natalie Portman will show up on a pinball but my former Idol Drew Barrymore why is it always MEN making their faces on pinballs smh is there a movie tie in where a females face is bigger than the men?
Kenner toys turned down making ET toys. They realized they had made big mistake. This was before Kenner was bought by Hasbro.
wonder if Todds ever shattered a light trying to twist turn one off. we broke a connector off doing that.
whatever happened to the bucket over the door? damnit I'm in tears of that Tony. at least he cut himself with power and didn't lose a finger tip :P... seriously someone send him one of those clown gags and a hand shocker or just rip the thing out of a charcoal lighter with the click part and the line wire tape that to a piece of metal and um push the button (side of a pinball should work...

glad to know TNT still is a prank type place. never a proper place without pranks although going after the boss sure is risky. not unheard of. one of my first jobs Vending. (candy etc) Boss had a Hummer (the one that actually looked like one. One day someone saran wrapped the thing top to bottom. Then did the same thing to the toilet he used. Oh well. Must be kept on your toes. if we drifted off in A+ class (Computers ) well naturally the entire class had to shout A+ could hear that all the way to the second floor of the college building. You awake now? (yes it happened to me too just one nod bang.
excellent!
casters is the term i use.
YES!! Someone else who agrees with me!!
great machine, looks fantastic.
you are so friggin dead. ha ! LOL and that was a cool t shirt too.
whats that other pin your working on at the back,? at 14:47 . looks like a stern. and that Teed Off looks in super shape now. cant wait to see that. another rock solid system 3.
That is Stern's High Roller Casino...will be ready probably tomorrow! Watch for Popeye today!
Gah, the banging.
I wanted that guy DEAD!
i have one of these machines, was in the garage for a number of years, its missing the coin mech, the ball or balls (how many balls does it take, i bought i kit with all the rubber and lites, only one ball. it is missing the bar that holds the glass games lite but does not play ( is it worst fixing or is it junk?
)?
anthony posey The game is just one ball play. Used lockdown bars run around $40. You would have to have a pinball tech see whats going on with the electronics though.
good job on the video good editing
Thank you sir!
Your welcome
Why haven't you put a yellow and a turquoise LED-Bub in the Pop-Bumpers?
It would fit better to the play-field-art
Its a fine idea!
I'm jonesin' for Discs of Tron. Soon?
next week we think!
Can't wait.
Another funny vid todd. Not the pinball for me but still looks good. If tony got you with alot more flower you could of looked like the stay puft marshmallow man. Thanks for the great vid and the laugh again.
Glad we made you laugh!! Just wish ONE of our videos would go Viral!
You never know todd
TNT Amusements Inc get a dog to play the game.
Hi, i have been watching your videos for a while and own two old em williams games. I am doing a overhaul on both machines and was just wondering what kind of paint you would recommend me to use. my machines are big deal and grand prix. Also just wanted to say, great videos and you have great staff.
Glad you like the videos! Steven uses paint from the local craft stores. The brand is Delta...you can also get it from Home Depot...as we have ordered it online from them---and if you spend over $50 there is free shipping. This paint allows you to mix two together to get the right shade!
Thanks a lot for the information. Continue doing these videos and ill continue watching :)
Kind regards from Iceland
Big Big Fan. LMAO 7:56 the moment you realize you been had by the boys Me Like That Kind Terrible . Tilt it!
Yes...they got me unrehearsed there!
Scared Stiff
Could the guy not have stopped hammering until after the video was done?
I got ahold of him and wrung his neck afterwards!
How come you replace the power supply boards that are good Todd?
The new power supplies use better technology and are far more dependable...its best to try to sell a machine to make it as dependable as you can.
if I worked there the game would be on
Does anyone else hear a slight banging noise ? : )
This video was fun to do...we liked making it slightly different than the others!
Couldn't give the hammer a break while shooting video? WTF.
Chris Hotte I should fire that boy for doing that!
2:57.....tell the employee off camera not to shag in the shop please.
these two are the worst out there. nailing each other think he put bugs in her um sandwhich once oh someone would be so dead if they did that X_X NIKKI EATS S*** (SARAN WRAP DOORWAY PRANK)
Pleeeeeeaaaaase do me a Rocky
that will be soon
