Ep 6 - Get Your Game Back!

Summary

Pat Lawlor reunited with his first pinball machine after 47 years thanks to Hemispheres Amusements.

Ken Cromwell hosts Jersey Jack Pinball Podcast Episode 6, featuring an emotional story about Pat Lawlor recovering his first pinball machine: a 1962 Gottlieb Flipper Cowboy he purchased in 1973 as a college student and traded away decades later. Kurt Hill of Hemispheres Amusements brokered the reunion after the original owner, Pat's high school classmate Chuck, contacted him through a service inquiry wanting to ensure the machine didn't end up discarded. Lawlor discusses the game's innovative mechanical design (rotospinner), his philosophy of reintroducing mechanical 'toys' to pinball games during his Williams design era, and JJP's plan to restore and display the machine in their game room.
