Episode #97 - Coin Plumbing

Author: Coin Rejects September 2, 2024 Duration: 1:20:14
In this episode, we are mounted on our fanciful birds of prey as we play Joust as our game of the episode. Find out Ian’s top three Williams games, what our strategies were while playing and if Jordan gives the game a Coins Up™ even with all the flapping. Enjoy!

For anyone who has ever been captivated by the glow of a CRT monitor and the distinct click of microswitches, Coin Rejects-Classic Arcade Podcast offers a deep dive into the enduring world of arcade cabinets. This isn't just a nostalgia trip; it's a practical and passionate guide to the entire lifecycle of these iconic machines. Hosted by the team at Coin Rejects, each episode feels like a conversation with knowledgeable friends who have grease under their fingernails and history in their heads. You'll hear detailed accounts of the hunt for forgotten cabinets in basements and warehouses, the meticulous process of bringing a battered machine back to its original glory, and the ongoing care needed to keep these complex pieces of electronics running. The podcast naturally explores the camaraderie of the collecting community, shares stories from the golden age of arcades, and provides genuine insights for anyone curious about starting their own collection or simply wanting to better appreciate the games they once played. Whether you're a seasoned restorer or someone who just misses the sound of quarters hitting a coin tray, this podcast connects the past's pixelated adventures to a present-day hobby full of discovery and satisfaction.
