Nutty Letters
« on: March 26, 2013, 12:50:05 AM »
Todd Tuckey from TNT Amusements (we throw pinball machines off our shop roof for fun) reads out the first of a series of "Nutty Letters" detailing the more colourful individuals that inhabit the arcade collecting hobby.

Just the first minute and a half is relevant. Hilarious.

Todd Tuckey ,, Hmmm,,  I got band from his You-Tube pages for protesting about throwing a good Black Knight off the roof top sum years ago.
Give the game to someone who likes to restore the the machine.. What a waste of a good game  ^&^
The video is still on You-Tube

I used to love his "understand pinball" videos. Then he threw perfectly restorable machines off a roof top. I have not watched one of his videos since. What a jerk !

I remember the first time this was posted ages ago, didn't make it any easier to see again now though !!!
I reckon most (if not ALL) of those games could've been saved and restored.

What a waste... COMPLETE AND UTTER f**kIN MORONS !!@ !!@ !!@ !!@

Yep - very difficult to watch. I think it created a lot of negative press for those idiots. I always look at it from the point of view that their workers are not smart enough to work on the games, so they throw them out.

Only in the US of A. There was a Tod Turkey in there somewhere. They keep doing that on a regular basis and they will inflate prices even further.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,
