DPP #163 "All about American! Metallica in house! Spooky is Rad!"
The monster is here! At great effort I managed the seemingly impossible, and got to the bottom of what exactly is going on at American Pinball (seriously, I just texted them). What follows is my synopsis whish is as true and succinct as I can make it. Also, the Metallica Remake is just amazing. Also also! I stopped by Benton Wisconsin for some Spooky quality time and a marathon on Evil Dead which IS ON THE LINE RIGHT NOW CAN CONFIRM 100% haha. Gotta be clear how I word things. Let's pinball you guys!! donspinballpodcast@gmail.com
Kineticist’s take
American Pinball is healthy; Metallica (Premium) impresses; Evil Dead production ramping at Spooky.
Synopsis
Don visited American Pinball facility to investigate closure rumors and confirmed the company is operationally sound with diverse product lines beyond pinball. He picked up a Metallica (Premium) contract build for custom modification and visited Spooky Pinball factory, where he played Evil Dead (3,000 plays, four units on production line) and praised their reliability improvements and customer service. He also speculates a major Stern announcement is imminent before month's end.
