48:37

Support the show: ko-fi.com/wedgeheadpodcast This episode our special guest Glenn Waechter (of the Saw Homebrew machine) joins us on the show, to Die on the Hill for Stern's 2001 game, High Roller Casino. This early stern, rare non licensed title wasn't well received upon its release, as evidenced by all the bad reviews we found, and it's low overall rating on pinside. But it was loaded with cool mechs and toys, and actually features a very deep ruleset, complete with 3 wizard modes. And Glenn definitely loves this often-hated game. ...but we do swear when we get excited, and spoiler alert: we got excited. This is your foul language warning. Support the show…

Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/wedgeheadpodcast This episode is all about the history of the licensed band pin starting way back in the late 1970s, with a couple dots in the 1990s, and finally into the explosion of them in the 2010s until today. We talk about the effect it has had on the industry, and why, love 'em or hate 'em, old man band pins are here to stay.

50:49

Support the show: ko-fi.com/wedgeheadpodcast Companion piece episode here from Alan to talk about how to maintain that pinball machine that Alex convinced y'all to buy in the Pinball Buyer's guide episode. There's a lot of bad or wildly unnecessary advice and ridiculous precautions out there on the forums, and it can get confusing fast as others loudly argue amongst themselves about what cleaner is or is not appropriate. Do we replace the balls immediately out of the box? Every 300 plays? Every 10k plays? And so, we wanted to make this episode to cut through all the noise and help you learn how to properly clean and maintain your pinball machine, when to replace balls, cleaning rubbers, and touch on flipper maintenance like rebuilds too. Pinball Maintenance 101 in an easy to listen to format! With cuss words! Support the show…

Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/wedgeheadpodcast Scott & Ryan, the creators of the Pinball Map are back on the show to defend Scott's DOTH game: Stern's 2007 machine, Wheel of Fortune. It's got a tweaked lower playfield, a theme nobody asked for, and code that was never completed. But Scott loves this game. So listen up as Ryan and Alan read him all the bad reviews pulled from the internet and get his reaction to the haters. Obligatory: Yes, we swear on this show by adults for adults. Support the show…

54:53

Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/wedgeheadpodcast This is a sequel to our earlier episode 16 - So You Wanna Buy a Pinball Machine? And in that episode (which we HIGHLY recommend listening to first) we mostly discuss a lot of the things that we wish we knew before we bought our first pinball machines, including a lot of the downsides that you might not even be thinking about. But this episode is a deeper dive taking the plunge, and in particular, buying used games, which is a whole lot different than buying new machines directly from a distributor. Alex give a lot of advice for sites to use to search for games, tools and vehicles for moving games, and what to look for. We mention in the episode a very handy pinside thread that has a list of vehicles that confirmed will fit a pinball machine in them, but here's an easier to read at a glance list from the pinball wiki As long time listeners know, we're naughty boys on the show and sometimes curse throughout our discussions.

Episode 62 - Fan Layouts 42:49

42:49

Support the show: https://ko-fi.com/wedgeheadpodcast This episode is all about the hotly debated definition of what a fan layout is, what it isn't, whether they are good, or whether they are cookie cutter derivative BS. We discuss the history of them, some of the most famous ones, and some of the designers most associated with them. And at the end of the episode we even argue about some "modified" fan layouts that really seem to kick the old hornets nest amongst public opinions on how broad or how tightly a fan layout's definition should be. As always though, this is a show with two adults speaking as adults do. I make zero effort to censor the show, which is just me saying: we say lots of no-no bad words when we get excited.

He has 15 pinball machines in the apartment that are all on free play for the guests, and we talk with him about this unusual but very cool way to operate pinball in an unconventional way. Mike tells us how he got started collecting, and then the decision to open up his collection to guests in the basement apartment under his home. Mike also defends 1986's Road Kings in a truncated version of our popular "Die on this Hill" series.
