Episode#1 The big reveal!
In this episode, I introduce a special project that I have just acquired and want to share with my subscribers! I bought my first real pinball machine!
I will be showing you the 1968 Gottlieb Paul Bunyan EM pinball machine and my plans for a possible full restoration plus my potential plans for an entire playlist where I find cheap pinball machines, fix them up, flip them, and try to get my way up to a new in box pinball machine. What do you think? If you wanna see this happen, give this video a like and drop a comment saying you want to see this, your advice, and if this machine is on your wish list and maybe we can make this happen for you!
This series is sponsored by one the greatest and longest running pinball parts suppliers out there, Marco Specialties! All of the parts that will be needed for this restoration will be supplied by Marco Specialties.
