Silverball Chronicles (TPN) - Pinball

Manufacturing is hard. Pinball is hard and when you’re starting on the other side of the world from all the suppliers and skilled labour, it’s that much harder. COVID-19 did not help Haggis Pinball is the latest cautionary tale of a pinball start-up who promised big and initially delivered but ultimately succumbed to the pressures of the industry. Join us this month while we talk about an IT guy who started a manufacturing company, what the heck is a celt, is innovation worth it, remaking old Ballys, COVID-19 production, red flags and no we won’t be doing Australian accents, and barbie jokes. https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/5ju8cu9aszrsitk7/Ep_40_-_Pinball_Down_Under_Part_1_-_Haggis_Pinball6mp7j.mp3…

Silverball Chronicles with David and Ron Episode 38: By Golly It’s Bingo Want to Support the Show? Visit Our Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/silverballchronicles  ; or pick up a tee shirt at Silverball Chronicles Topic Begins at 12:12 Bingo just isn’t the game you can play at a country fair or a sketchy gambling establishment. Bingo is also the big brother to today’s modern pinball. You’ll remember we spoke about Bingo machines and the issues they had in our Brief History of Pinball episode, but we figured Bingo needed its own episode. I mean, Roger Sharpe got two episodes. Ron and Dave (mostly Dave) crack out their 1920’s voices as they dive into the world of one-balls, bingo, and 5-balls flipper games! We discuss Bingo vs. Bingo, touch on names you should know like the geniuses Lyn Durant and Don Hooker, Miami Beach’s risqué flyer, what is so attractive about Bingo, why are there no Gottlieb Bingos, and more! Huge thanks to Nick Baldridge and the For Amusement Only Podcast for the content of this episode. https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/fzkqdx4y8h5jqden/Ep_38_-_By_Golly_Its_Bingo63jg2.mp3…
Roger Sharpe is hailed as the Man who Saved the Game from our previous episode, but he did so much more! Roger has been involved in the birth of tournaments, the second rise of licensing, and mainstream journalism. He also has had a great film based on him and his relationship with his wife Ellen. Join us as we talk about Rogers’s last pinball machine, Cyclopes, his stumble into becoming the Williams 1990s Licensing guru, his friendship with Steve Epstein, and his very good film! https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/96jc93b5wj9qgguu/Ep_37_-_Yes_More_Roger_Sharpe6othz.mp3…
We’ve fought long and hard to avoid giving Roger Sharpe yet another ego-building podcast to spin his narrative and propaganda… but, here we are. Roger wrote about pinball. Played pinball. Promoted and evangelized pinball. Roger has been involved in the birth of tournaments, the second rise of licensing, and mainstream journalism. He also has had a great film based on him and his relationship with his wife Ellen. Join us as we talk about Roger’s beginning, looking to buy a pinball machine, a thing that happened in a Court Room in the late 1970s, his pinball designs, the birth of tournament pinball, and his friendship with Steve Epstein. https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/65evt6/EP_36_-_The_Token_Roger_Sharpe_Episode93lpl.mp3…

Join us this month while we discover what happened to Capcom’s assets, tooling and making new parts vs. selling existing parts, more lawsuits, being a terrible business person or being a great guy, and a second crash and burn. https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/kzm5ac/Ep_34_-_The_Capcom_Debacle_Part_2_Illinois_Pin_Ball_Company7xbpv.mp3…

Visit Our Patreon at http://www.patreon.com/silverballchronicles  ; or pick up a tee shirt at Silverball Chronicles Topic Starts at 8:27 Episode Summary Capcom was a video game company who wanted to get into the pinball industry and ride a wave of popularity, just like Data East! Sadly, they were a victim of wrong place, wrong time. Add to that a bunch of mismanagement, Python Angelo, various lawsuits, and well… you end up like Capcom Pinball. Even after Capcom disappeared, the lure of what could have been remained, especially as we stumble upon a crazy collector and dreamer who ruined himself… but we will get into that in Part 2.

Topic Starts at 9:10 Episode Summary Joe Balcer is a name that some people know, and some people don’t. Joe spent his early beginnings at Sega Pinball, then Stern Pinball, and he basically helped start Jersey Jack Pinball. He’d then he started up another company called American Pinball. Joe has been around; he’s worked for many bosses in many companies, and he’s made some memorable layouts. Joe’s not necessarily known as a ‘high flow, quick ball movement’ kind of guy. His designs tend to be more stop and go or as some people like to call him, The King Of Clunk. https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/9nj36e/Ep_33_-_Joe_Balcer_-_The_King_of_Clunk83rx6.mp3…

Silverball Chronicles (TPN) - Pinball

John Borg is known for his distinctive style and approach to designing pinball machines. His design philosophy is as distinct as a fingerprint. ‘Borgie’ focuses on creating layouts that offer smooth flow and satisfying shots. He aims to design pinball machines that provide players with a sense of continuous motion and engaging gameplay. His layouts often feature well-integrated ramps, orbits, and habitrails that facilitate fast and exciting ball movement across the playfield. John also gets the coolest theme. This month Dave and Ron talk about how cool John Borg is and why Dave is not, what John did after he left Stern in 2000 and what he did when he got back, developing his style, reusing elements, orbit spinners (yeah!), John’s themes, and what makes Borgie’s second kick at a pinball career the path of a modern pinball legend. https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/fb6z5m/Ep_32_-_Borgie_27ewdx.mp3…

Gottlieb is viewed as the romantic electro-mechanical giant to many. The pinball machine atop the coin-op pedestal for all other manufacturers to reach for… but it was its god-tier status in the 1960s and early 1970s which would ultimately lead to its epic cratering in the 1980s. What led Gottlieb into the Mylstar Nosedive? Was it lack of leadership? Corporate chaos? The recession of the early 1980s? Or was it a lack of creative freedom and adventure in the products? This month Dave and Ron talk about the massive success of D. Gottlieb and Co., the ownership changes which hobbled the company, Ed Krynski’s biography, generational changes in Gottlieb, Ron not knowing Europe is a continent, and the games of Mylstar!… What could go wrong? https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/bgtsbx/Ep_31_-Pinball_is_Dying_Part_4-_What_Lead_Gottlieb_to_the_Mylstar_Nosedive8yzri.mp3…

Wayne Neyens is pinball’s Centenarian; he was there at the beginning, and he was there when it ended… a couple of times… and he witnessed the rebirth we now see today before his passing at age 104. He was the last of his pinball generation, the last of the woodrail masters and the man who gave his whole life to making people smile at the silverball. This month Dave and Ron discuss growing up in the Great Depression, 1930’s cubicles, Westerns, Jimmy Johnson, Harry Mabs, The Gottlieb – David Gottlieb, Wayne’s most popular games like Slick Chick and Kings and Queens, Add-A-Ball and Wedgeheads, the amazing artist Roy Parker AND we make fun 1940’s radio voices! https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/yp5tp8/Ep_30_-_Wayne_Neyens99khc.mp3…
