- This was built when I was like 20 years old.
This is something that costs anywhere
between three and $7,000.
It's been played, supposedly,
less than 100 times in 20 years.
(upbeat electronic music)
Today's video is sponsored by KiwiCo.
When we destroyed the Pac-Man machine,
(Lincoln and Dan cheering)
it was really, really fun.
We hit it with a baseball bat, with a T.V.,
we did all kinds of stuff to it.
Did Lincoln just open it up?
Hey buddy.
- Hey.
- But we did get a lot of grief.
Even YouTube Gaming tweeted out
that they were sad that it happened.
I talked to a YouTube news person.
He just does drama news,
and he told me that he almost did a drama story on it
at one point.
As we prepare to move into the house
that we're currently building,
I wanna make this thing fun.
And so I had kind of a crazy idea to buy one
of the rarest Star Wars Episode One pinball machines
to put in the house.
And today we're gonna see what's inside
of this pinball machine.
This is what we own now.
First things first, Lincoln.
Are you ready?
- Oh, my gosh.
- [Dan] It has your favorite all.
- [Lincoln] Jar Jar Binks.
- [Dan] Jar Jar Binks is in it, your favorite.
Are you ready to play it?
- [Lincoln] Yeah, I'm ready.
- [Dan] All right, let's see how good you are.
How good are you at pinball first?
- I have not done this for a few years.
What?
- [Dan] Should we destroy it and break it?
- No.
- [Dan] No?
- Nope.
- You wanna take this to the new house?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay, then it's up to you.
I can't guarantee that we're not gonna break it,
but I'll do my best.
- Okay.
- Okay, the first thing that we are gonna do
is get inside of it.
We have keys.
(pinball machine beeps)
Actually, the first thing I'm gonna do
is kill the power.
Okay, power is killed.
We don't need to shock ourselves.
If we're gonna keep this in good shape,
we gotta be careful.
There is a big, yellow lever in here.
If you look inside of here,
there's a lever right here.
And if I pull on it,
it should enable this to come off.
This is the main cover that keeps it from falling off.
- Oh, that's the glass.
That's the part, oh, wow.
Don't drop it.
Okay, yes.
- There's the glass.
Let's move the glass somewhere safe.
- Jar Jar Binks.
- Here's the inside of this part.
- It's hot in there.
- Wow, here's a T.V. that's upside down.
The lightsaber does not come out.
You cannot take it out and fight with it, darn.
There's a level right there.
We need to level this out a little bit.
It looks like it's a little off.
It's a little front heavy.
Oh look, there's little lights that shine on Jar Jar Binks.
That's funny.
- [Lincoln] All right, you ready?
- [Dan] You wanna play it.
- Start.
Yes.
Really, really?
- [Dan] Watch again.
- Jar Jar Binks.
Yeah.
I'm so good at this game.
(Dan laughs)
All right, we got another.
- [Dan] This is the way to play.
(Dan yells)
- [Lincoln] I lost one.
Pow.
Ah, that one's going straight through.
- These are the bumpers right here.
I wanna see what happens with these orange guys right there.
Ooh, you hit that and it does the force.
All right, so glass was easy to take off.
That's fine, the thing still works.
Clearly, the tricky part is can we get inside of this thing,
and see what's underneath here,
and see how all these bumpers,
and all these different rubber bands,
and all the magnets, and everything work
without breaking it.
We're gonna try our best now.
If we do break it, we did it for you guys.
Underneath there's pretty big frames.
There's a pretty big frame that I can move,
so I'm gonna try.
- Whoa, this entire thing popped up.
- Okay, that didn't feel safe.
- Wow, yeah these two little.
Okay, whoa.
- We are lifting. - Huge bars right there.
Oh no.
Oh, I'm so nervous this thing's just gonna break.
- [Dan] It does not feel right.
It kinda felt like it clicked into place.
Wow, okay, I hope it's not broken.
- [Lincoln] Wow.
- [Dan] But unbelievable, look underneath here.
Look at everything.
- That looks like the Pac-Man machine
with all of those different colored wires like that.
- So here's your paddles right here flipping.
And if you look on the other side when I do that,
this is the main mechanism that shoots the paddles.
These are not good to mess with.
That we learned from the Pac-Man video.
They still contain energy even afterward,
and that's why it says,
"High voltage, bottom side of playfield".
We have four balls right here
that's sitting in this little section.
This right here is a little bumper
that when it's pushed up it pushes on the ball,
shoots it upward to the spot,
so you can take the trigger, pull the trigger,
and shoot it.
Right here in these big sections right here,
this is when you shoot the lasers with the gun,
and it shoots the lasers through.
Those are the lights for the lasers.
This has a pretty intense frame on it
that you can hold onto.
It makes it feel like it's pretty sturdy.
This is pretty intense.
This is something that costs anywhere
between three and $7,000 just for this paintball machine.
Before we get into the back
with the T.V., and the speakers, and the other electronics,
I wanna tell you about today's sponsor which is KiwiCo.
So KiwiCo is a company
that sends you subscription do-it-yourself projects
that you and your family can work on.
These are actually two make your own pinball machine kits
that came in the mail.
KiwiCo is something that we've actually been using
for three years in our house.
My mom bought subscriptions
for each one of our kids for Christmas,
and then they would have little projects
that they would work on.
This month's project is pretty cool,
because it is a pinball machine.
And the difficulty levels are based off of your age group.
This one right here is the Kiwi Crate.
This is for ages five to eight years old.
And then this one, for example,
is the Eureka Crate.
And this is for people that are between the ages
of 14 to 104 years old.
- That's specific. - If your 105
and you're watching this video,
I'm sorry this kit maybe is not for you.
But everybody in between, this is it.
This is a great gift for your kids
where they get a do-it-yourself project at home
that teaches you some educational things.
They have six different crates
for kids between the ages of zero and 16.
If you wanna get this
and show your support for What's Inside,
the link is in the description.
You can go to kiwico.com/whatsinside
and support our channel,
and you can get your first month
of any subscription for free.
That's $19.95 value.
Okay, don't let it fall through the crack.
- [Claire] Okay, sorry.
I'm sorry (laughs)
(whistle blows)
- All right, I'm not satisfied with this distance.
I think it can go more.
There's rails on the inside.
Yes, look at that.
That's how you see inside of it.
There's some extra parts down here.
Extra stickers, and different parts
that can go inside of it.
- How did you figure that out?
- [Dan] I just pulled on it a lot more.
It looked like there's a railing down here.
- Did it break any of the, oh yeah.
- [Dan] I don't think there is,
but it looks like that's what's it's supposed to do
with the railing.
- Yeah. - Look, there's even
a subwoofer down at the bottom.
This is inside of it.
I didn't realize, I mean the speakers are loud.
I'm pretty sure these are speakers right here.
That's like a soundbar,
but then down here there's a subwoofer
that goes down to the bottom.
What's inside the back of this thing?
I think the main computer is inside of there.
(drill whirls).
Ooh, this is it.
This is the fan.
This is the giant T.V.
And then, it looks like an old computer from the 90's.
In today's computers,
I'm sure this would be much, much smaller,
but it is pretty cool how they can put together
the pinball world and the gaming world all in one.
(drill whirls)
(metal screeches)
Oh, yeah.
- [Lincoln] There we go, we're back.
- Hopefully it still works.
- We need to test it.
That sounded good.
Oh yeah!
- Okay, oh my God, I got it.
- [Spooky Voice] Oh my God, I got it.
- Oh, I'm so good at this.
Look how good I am Lincoln.
That still works.
- It's pretty cool.
- [Dan] Should we keep it?
- Yes.
- [Dan] Could we put it in your bedroom?
- No.
- I'll keep it in my room.
- I think I learned my lesson
that we don't need to destroy vintage gaming things.
We're gonna keep this.
Even though that last one, it was stuck in somebody's house.
They had it on sale for years for $1,000.
They found it abandoned in a storage locker.
That Pac-Man machine wasn't as wanted,
and it was more mass produced
than what something like this is.
It's a pretty awesome piece of art,
and I think we're gonna hold on to this
for a little bit.
Are you sad that we don't fully destroy it,
or are you okay with us just trying to keep it.
- No, I wanna keep this.
- [Dan] You're smiling.
