Here is PART 13 of My Pinball Collection featuring the Williams classic DINER, from 1990. Many of you have asked to see more pinball videos. So, here is a quick "close-up" of one particular machine in my collection. I hope you enjoy it and look for future installments coming soon.

I imagine it would be a lot of work, with unknown audience interest levels, but man I would love if you had an ongoing series just doing this format with all kinds of tables; not necessarily just ones you own. History, basic gameplay explanations. Also, would love to see an update to your collection today.

My favorite burger joint in my high school town had Diner. As a child of the 90s I seldom played any games prior to the new standard of dot matrix displays. Diner was such a breath of fresh air among the pre-dot matrix pins I didn't grow up with. Maybe it was the fitting combination of Diner and that burger joint, but this machine in particular makes me very happy. After seeing this video, I subscribed. Very entertaining and informative; your passion for these machines is crystal clear. Bravo.

@zapposh It is. But, when the inserts have raised up to the point where it affects the ball travel, it has severely cracked the clear-coat from the factory. So, it won't do any good anymore. You know? These weren't bad (where most of the Diner games have this issue, most raising up underneath the mylar). So, I wanted to have the inserts leveled off and extra clear put on it. Thanks for watching. :)

I hope when you find these that you are "scooping" them up immediately then for re-sale. Since they estimate between only 50 to 200 were sprayed with actual diamond plate, you must be going to all the places where every one of them ended up. You are one lucky man. I applaud you. With that said, I also like the silver habitrail as well.

Diner was my favorite pinball machine. Is it Haji who says "Cmon man you are going too slow" when you take too long to start the plunger. LOL - I still say that to other drivers when I'm driving. The Diner characters are great.

@spida1a 13 жыл бұрын

@jdrukman Thanks a lot for your wonderful comments. I appreciate it. I am already de-interlacing it upon its output (the box has always been checked to de-interlace). Honestly, I think it has something to do with my video-camera. It has been doing a horrible job lately (it even has vertical striping in higher contrasts...it never used to do this). Then again...it could be that it's over ten years old, beat to hell and a consumer cam. Ha ha. Time to upgrade one of these days. :)

@spida1a 13 жыл бұрын

@MrRiffbear Well....removing mylar from a "diamond plate" playfieid is not quite as scary. I would recommend the "freeze" method for that (and some Goo Gone for the remainder of the glue). Definitely read the manuals and online information on how to do it the best way. :) PS: I take no responsibility if you tear your playfield up. Disclaimer! Ha ha! Thanks for watching.

@RossEStern Diamond Plate is a clear-coat that they started spraying on playfields in order to keep them from "wearing" out as quickly as they were. It definitely preserved most playfields much better than what had come before. :)

i think the lower difficulty curve might attract more casual gamers to Diner. some of the more challenging pinball games can really keep people from coming back for more! great review as always. your fans totally appreciate the time and effort it must take to make these. recording all the sound bites and actually having to play well at the game to show us the modes and jackpots lol

@TheLumberjackass Thanks a ton. I try to add that into my reviews ('cause they all are important to me). Funny....I can see a difference between these last ones and the ones I shot in 2009 (my energy level is better this time). Probably because I was coming off a bad car accident or something and was shooting them quickly (hence the HAT where my stitches were). :) :)

@VinceLatello If you want "clear-coat" sprayed onto them, it's quite expensive (and a HORRIBLE chore removing them and everything on them). That's why I've only done it twice. Ha Ha. I can't honestly remember how much it cost. It was in the lower hundreds somewhere. :)

You mean the stickers on the cabinet? Yeah. I agree but...everyone complained SO much that the silkscreened artwork was "too low-rez and dotty" and Stern listened by giving them better quality print jobs. I never cared much honestly, I'd rather have a silkscreened cabinet verses a decal anyday. But, I guess I was in the minority. Also, yes, I do miss the days of original artwork! :)
