#71 The OG - The Classic Pinball Podcast
The boys start the episode going old school with the original gangster. George gets his “Jersey” on and explores some New Jersey centric themes. Dave jumps the shark with Rush. The conversation flows into an attempted display repair. Dave then teases upcoming episodes of several Steve Ritchie games.
Kineticist’s take
The Classic Pinball Podcast hosts discuss Rush game announcement, restoration work, and display board troubleshooting.
Synopsis
George and Dave discuss classic pinball machines, the newly announced Stern Rush pinball game, Dave's personal purchase of a Rush Limited Edition machine, restoration stories, and technical troubleshooting of classic Williams-era display boards. The episode blends personal anecdotes (a Gottlieb System 1 restoration, New Year's Eve gameplay) with industry observations about themes, licensing, and the collector vs. operator divide in pinball.
