yeah it was Tim's storage shed in his back yard with I think they said 1000 pinballs, what a shed, unfortunately nothing really about pinball, the guys bought a peek a view and did it up.

Thanks guys, I will check it out tonight.

Too bad they didn't buy a pin to restore, would be good to see what the restored game turned out like 

Gotta love Tims honesty, telling the guys that they were starting to annoy him with their prattling on.. classic 
Also loved Tims response when they tried to lowball him on the countertop pin.. 'then i'm not that anxious to sell it.. i dont sell my friends'

Not a bad show except reality shows are not really reality. Thing I don't get is the cost. The prices he charge are high I spouse if your a collector you would pay anything.

Still missed the American pickers episode on pinball machines.

Yeh but they picked up a peep show machine instead! As for finding the films.. I have a guy who does private auctions around once a month and im stuck for choice to be honest.. just bought another 2 for my machine.
Did you notice they sprayed EVERYTHING fire red?.. Even if it was blue to start with.
To be quite honest.. I don't like this guys restorations, I think  he goes away from the originality too much

He must have got a great deal on a large lot of that red paint.
I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw them painting the pickup in fire engine red
