#120.1 Dolly Parton - The Classic Pinball Podcast
Dolly Parton. White Rose review. Game prices. Ringer. What’s up Doc? Strike Master. Thanks Vic. Alice.SORRY. Gameplay from recording was inadvertently left out. Start 16:45. End 31:00 for those listeners who tuned in day one.
Kineticist’s take
Deep restoration dive on 1979 Dolly Parton pinball with gameplay critique and show anecdotes.
Synopsis
George and Dave discuss a restored Dolly Parton pinball machine (Bally, 1979, 7,350 units) on The Classic Pinball Podcast Podcast. Dave details 50+ hours of restoration work including new playfield, back glass, electronics, and LED hybrid effects. The hosts analyze gameplay, criticizing its simplicity, limited rule depth, and design choices like stationary targets instead of drop targets, while praising the machine's playability and Dave's restoration quality. George recounts his experience playing Avatar at White Rose Game Room show, scoring 130 million on his first attempt with no knowledge of the ruleset.
