069: Stop On By and Say Hi

Punk Rock Pinball hosts preview Pinball Expo booth, gimmick challenge, and Stern's new AC/DC remaster.

Hosts Mike and Steph of the Punk Rock Pinball Podcast preview their Pinball Expo plans: a booth (1223) selling punk band merch with proceeds going to Anxious and Angry, a 'challenge the hosts' gimmick, and a pre-Expo party at the Pinball Capital. They also discuss Stern's newly announced AC/DC remaster, a Ralph-reported QC issue on Bon Jovi, and rumors of a Motorhead machine.

Highlights

• Stern announced a new AC/DC remastered game that will be at Expo.
• Stern's remasters so far (Metallica, The Walking Dead, AC/DC) are better than their originals.
• Retro Ralph's Bon Jovi unit had a QC issue where the ball shot straight up because two incorrect screws were used on a shooter lane piece.
• There is allegedly a short run of Motorhead pinball machines coming.
• Spooky Pinball team visited a Weezer show, and a Spooky Weezer machine is speculated.
• The Stern Walking Dead remaster likely lacks new code because the licensor is difficult to work with, and ACDC licensor is probably easier, so ACDC will get remaster code faster.
