Well it’s Sunday and time to post my final three Pintastic NE 2023 videos from my final three interviews at the end of the final day.

The first is with author Stephanie Lesser author of 1001 Pinball Puzzles

2nd we have the EMP Team packing up after a VERY successful Pintastic NE 2023

I don’t know if the EMP crowed takes the “Hardest working people at Pintastic” crown but they’re at the very least a close 2nd.

For the first time since I’ve been going to Pinstastic I wasn’t able to get Gabe D’Annunzio for the final interview simply because I couldn’t find him and had a bit of a time constraint, however I DID manage to grab pinball artist Christopher Franci one of the guests at Pinstastic NE 2023 to close things out and that’s a pretty good get:

Well that’s all the Pintastic NE I have for 2023. I’ll see you in April in the same place for Pintastic NE 2024

There are some things that simply make Pintastic Pintastic and one of them is Todd Tuckey of TNT Amusements making the annual pilgrimage. I had the pleasure of taking him to dinner at Linguini’s Italian Eatery on day two with my son and of course I had the even greater pleasure of sitting down with him for an interview on day 3 (Saturday)

Pintastic NE 2023 the story so far:

Epilogue: Now while I’m giving you Pintastic a piece at a time and cover what I think is interesting my primary goal there is to play pinball (thus the early to bed plan to get machines empty in the morning. Todd gives you Pintastic a full day at a time in his famous TNT amusements videos. For those who want a different perspective on the show than mine because he’s up much later with all the folks.

Here are his videos from Pintastic NE 2023:

Thanks to a nasty fall I’m home on Sunday night and off my right foot to post more homebrew videos.

Here is the homebrew room with machines in place:

Homebrew machines are cool but the coolest of them all is Circuit Meltdown not just because it’s a nice game but because it was built as a school project by the North Metro Tech highschool in Wakefield Mass.

Here is my interview with their teacher Brian Caven:

My battery ran out so I ran back to my room and grabbed my spare as he was showing someone the guts and we continued:

Again this machine was designed and built by the kids in his class and here they are:

I suspect none of these kids are going to be short of jobs in a few years.
