If you have to point a finger at who is responsible for the rise in popularity of Pinball in the 21st century in general and over the last decade in particular you won’t go too wrong wagging a finger at Todd Tuckey of TNT amusements whose video promotions of his business and unique style predates youtube.

I’ve interviewed him several times over the last decade but at this year’s pintastic I did something different and interviewed him with a couple of his many fans.

I had intended only the one interview but he recorded a special video for their children about the pinball machine they were buying and my coverage of it turned into a 2nd interview and a shameless plug for myself:

Their kids will be watching that video long after we are dead and gone and say: “My parents knew Todd Tuckey!”

I also shot some of his seminar, because of limited battery and limited space on my camera I only managed part of it but on his own TNT Amusements site they have the full thing:

Part 1 of 2

Part 2 of 2

For those unaware these seminars run on Friday and Saturday and include all kinds of interesting pinball stuff.

His youtube channel is here.

His site is here.

And since we had a shameless plug on the video let me add one more. I’m currently 13 subscribers away from being able to monetize youtube. Normally this wouldn’t be a big deal but I lose my job in ten days. If you want to help soften the blow please consider subscribing to my youtube channel.

Of course if you choose to hit DaTipJar I won’t complain either.
