SFGE 2016 Panel Discussion – Takin’ it to the shop, making an old pinball game new
0
Join us for one of the panel discussions we presented at the 2016 Southern-Fried Gameroom Expo.
In this video, we cover what it takes to “shop out” a pinball machine where we discuss everything from maintenance tips and tricks to how to clean and touch up a playfield as well as covering off on some of the higher-level tasks associated with a full-on restoration.
If you want to follow along in the video with the PowerPoint presentation, then you can find a PDF export of the slide deck available below:

July 2016
Summer is in full swing and we’ve got more podcasting goodness for your summer restoration work (or commutes…however you call it, we’re good with it!)
We discuss project updates from all over the place, talk about Red Tents (GRAILER), ROM burning, scanning artwork, what we ordered from Online Components, troubleshooting System 11 pinball machines, logic probes and last, but not least, go all SlapStic on spending Brent’s money – and that’s after he picked up the bill when we had dinner with listener David Paul!
If you can stomach all the topic dyslexia, then we have a special treat in store for you this month: Daniel DeBusschere hosts one of the panels from the 2016 Southern Fried Gameroom Expo entitled “Painting the Dots – Pinball’s Color DMD Revolution” and talks with Mica Critchfield and Mark Jarzewiek as they discuss all things ColorDMD – from how displays are colored to some history of the project and the company. It’s great info that you won’t hear anywhere else. On top of that, they premier color dots running on Family Guy for the first time, so you get a world-premier to boot!
If you want to catch the video from the session, then look no further as we’ve got it posted on our YouTube channel as well:
We also have plenty of feedback to discuss as well, so buckle up and get ready and remember…we are the way we are because we sit in the sun FAR too long…

June 2016
We are back from the Southern-Fried Gameroom Expo and in front of the mics to recap our thoughts and all the high (many) and low (one…stupid tire) points along the way. Needless to say, it was a great weekend full of fun and excitement. We reconnected with listeners and friends, got some good swag (beer), interviewed some very interesting people, put on a couple of sessions and met lots of great folks to boot.
This month we feature one of the first audio segments from SFGE and are proud to feature the “From Tron to Curveball: Bill Adams’ Life in Classic Gaming” session where we have the privilege of interviewing Bill Adams and talk about everything from developing Tron to naming Satan’s Hollow to the legend of “OScope”… it’s great insight and a must-listen for some fantastic history on some beloved Bally/Midway games.
If you aren’t familiar with Bill Adams, here’s a quick excerpt from his bio:

May 2016
Well, here we are at the end of May and the beginning of Summer for 2016.. time flies and this month is no exception.
In addition to the normal updates, feedback and catching up since the last episode, we find ourselves covering a few “different” topics this month – auctions and game hauling. Yeah – you read that right folks- gavels and trailers. We set down to record and had a bit of a ‘loose’ agenda (due to our prep-time for the upcoming 2016 Southern-Fried Gameroom Expo) and figured we’d cover off on a few topics that we’ve been wanting to discuss for several months, but have had a hard time slotting them into some of the past shows.

April 2016
The words ‘Back in the saddle’ has a lot of connotations, but we all know what it means in the land of BT – EPIC show at EPIC normal length! 
We roll out of April and into May returning to the studio and catching up on all things arcade and pinball since our livestream shows at the 2016 Louisville Arcade Expo. We sit down and catch up on hobby and project progress over the past six weeks, talk tech, catch up on quite a bit of pinball news and in an unprecedented display of shrewdness, showmanship and podcasting sound effects, Brent spends both his – and Whitney’s – money this month!
We’ll just drop this right here, and let you guys and gals figure the rest of it out….
