Here’s a video made recently by Masters of Craft showing my restoration of a 1992 William’s ‘Fish Tales’ pinball table. Hope you enjoy it: youtu.be/VHZCBgQ7Xws?si…

Well done Tesco Applepay down this afternoon and no way to pay for shopping. Helpful when the staff are apparently aware of the issue and don’t think to put a note up on the way in so no one knows until their shopping is completed 🤬

Tonight’s episode of The Restorers has me restoring a Mills one-armed bandit that was reported as once belonging to Harry Ramsden (of Fish and Chip fame). So I hope you enjoy the show, it's at 9pm on Quest (Sky 144, Freeview 12, Virgin 172 and Freesat 167)

Having a mini pub wander around Conwy with Suzy, lovely cozy place. Came up for a little job and got to meet Ruth Tappin and Drew Pritchard which was a unexpected bonus.

On The Restorers, Ted and I join forces to tackle a rusty pile of metal for Saxon. One of us has lots of fun the other not so much!
New restorer Julia Julia Bickerstaff Neon lights up the show. Robin Johnson Bespoke goes all mid century modern.

Just finished this 1969 Bally Hoo, the table was originally operated in France. The operator added extra score reels to increase all the scores by x10 so every visible score on the playfield needed an extra ‘0’, fun but pointless! This one is ready for the Swavesey Pinball Show.

Two tables finally went home this week, Judge Dredd and Triple Action. Deliveries have been difficult over the last couple of years so it’s great to gain a bit of space for new pieces for the folk that are waiting. He’s a big lad, Johnny Pinball Table 💪

Here's a little video I made for Quest TV earlier this year showing how to clean up battery damage. Shot by Curve Media I hope that it helps save a few things ending up in landfill.
