Thanks goforthewall! Great videos. Interesting to see these guys from Bally/Williams talk about pinball before "the end."

Found another documentary on Youtube from the late seventies, hosted by a major news anchor (Tom Brokaw, I think) but it was deleted (by the user) before I had a chance to watch it. Should have saved it, but I didn't realize it would be taken down so quick. Anyone else see this (or better yet, saved this)?

big thanks goforthewall!

I watched Special When Lit last night. I want to see a full documentary on just the pin geek guy or whatever he called himself. The guy selling DVDs of pinball tables in action with the pin wheel hat. That guy was great. I loved the world he lived in!

I'm still in doubt wether the title of that documentary was making reference to pinball, or the characters playing it. Some of them truly were special...

I didn't catch Ball Saved or the one Niceguy posted before it was taken down... anyone willing to upload again? Only rediscovered this thread because I was linking a friend to The History of Pinball which had subsequently been pulled. But, I downloaded them as well so if you need another source with which to provide it, I'm your guy

While we're at it, when looking for that doco, I came across this. Part 1 of a news thing (maybe a full doco?) on the rise of pinball parlours in Australia... in 1979!
http://pool.abc.net.au/media/pinball-02

And a small news clipping of some Australian dude about to enter a tournament or something. Haven't watched yet, but could be of interest. At least it's recent/relevant news

Anyone have a download of History of Pinball?

Thanks!

I'd love to have a download to the AMCs History of Pinball if anyone wouldn't mind posting again? I bought the other dvds and find it odd that the copyright infringement is in effect yet not even available to buy anywhere....go figgah.

Anyways, if anyone wouldn't mind hooking me up with AMCs History of Pinball again it would be greatly appreciated!

If anyone wants to watch the documentaries "Special When Lit" or "Tilt - The Battle To Save Pinball" I can upload them.

Would be great!

I saw Special When Lit and really enjoyed it. A great look at PAPA tournaments for those of us that have never seen it. Some real characters in that movie. Have never seen Tilt, but would love to check it out.

Upload to Vimeo, should stay on there for some time.

 

[xNiCeGuYx]

Can't find them.
