Kineticist’s take
Year-end The Classic Pinball Podcast reviews restorations, lighting tech, parts sourcing, and repair challenges.
Synopsis
George and Dave conclude their 2024 podcast season with a year-in-review episode, discussing restoration projects (Buck Rogers), lighting innovations (Constantino Mitchell LED replacements), parts sourcing challenges (chime boxes and target banks), and technical repair stories. The episode covers deep dives into pinball parts compatibility, a customer restoration narrative with emotional resonance, aftermarket LED lighting solutions, and troubleshooting experiences with vintage solid-state games, particularly issues with Mexican-made bridge rectifiers.
