Synopsis
The The Classic Pinball Podcast episode #91 focuses on Flight 2000, a 1980 Williams Electronics pinball machine featuring space/flight theming, artwork by Barry Oursler, and Doug Watson design. The hosts discuss its mechanical features (spinners, drop targets, memory targets, four kickers) and rule complexity, particularly the challenging 'BLAST OFF' multiball sequence. A significant secondary segment covers detailed repair work on a Data East Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles machine, highlighting supply chain issues, parts availability challenges, and a defective replacement MPU board from Rotten Dog.
