Stock inventory control at its best. The organizational skills are phenomenal. This place is astronomical! I can’t wait to visit and see/play all these wonderful machines. Thank you for the internal tour and explaining in detail the operation of this amazing place.

The barcode system for reporting repairs is genius!

Wow, thanks for this video. It is well produced and edited, very slick and professional. The museum itself is mind blowing. What an incredible collection of games. The care with which they're maintained is a credit to the owner. Hard to believe there's that much money in the world, that one guy can afford to have all those machines and such a well run facility. For pinball enthusiasts, it's a dream come true.

Nicely done Jeff. While I couldn't help but notice the lack of Jack*Bot footage, I learned a lot about their operation. Can't wait to see the next video and you in Chicago again for Expo 40. Todd has seats for us at the breakfast table. Kudos.

Oh I would love it there. I want to get something going like this here in Portland, OR and I have been slowly building my collection of pinball machines. I only have about 10 so far but they are all great titles even have a Big Game from 1935 that I am working on getting restored. I like to buy broken games on purpose to get em back up and running and all of the ones I have worked on so far I have done just that. Only pin I bought completely working is a Police Force which I have been wanting for the past 20+ years and finally have it and only had it for about 6 months now.

@Arcadehollywood 4 ай бұрын

That is the secret sauce to building your collection! Plus you really get to know the game/machine by restoring it. Yes Past Times is an amazing place!!

@Arcadehollywood - triple multi ball. Really fun. Used to play Firepower too. Hope you get a chance to play it. Do you have it? I would love to fix those machine, when I retire. Love doing that stuff. You have a great staff.

I'd love to work there. What is the power situation like? How man games per breaker? How many breakers total? What breaker sizes?

@pasttimesarcade 4 ай бұрын

We have light switches at the front desk that turn on contactors in the back (much like a stadium). We have rows of conduit in behind each row of games. Every electrical box in the row has four outlets; each box has their own individual 15 amp breaker behind the wall for four games. Much credit is due to the company that installed it (CR Electric). The conduit is so well done that you wouldn't notice it unless you were looking for it. It's actually amazing art.
