01:00Life After Death
01:11It's what we restorers like to call the action of taking machines that are left for dead
01:17and bringing them back to not only something usable, but something valuable,
01:22something worth playing again, something worth appreciating.
01:26But where do you find machines that are left for dead?
01:29I'm not talking about one or two machines or even a dozen machines
01:33that find their way to an arcade auction that have been purchased from an old operator's horse barn.
01:38No, here we examine the discovery of two very special warehouse raids.
01:43An opportunity to buy machines in large quantities from the bowels of storage.
01:48These opportunities don't come easily.
01:51In fact, both raids that we display here are the result of years of hard work.
01:56It was difficult to earn the trust of each operator involved,
02:00and coming together on a price to buy these machines was certainly no easy task.
02:04There is a high level of risk involved when buying in bulk.
02:08Each dead machine will require a different level of repair to bring it back to life.
02:11Without the ability to power any machines on before we bought them,
02:16we're left only with our knowledge base of pinball repair and restoration,
02:20along with a fair amount of luck.
02:22As you will see, we won on some and lost on others.
02:25But this is how it goes when you have a passion for saving pinball.
02:28So while this volume in the series doesn't cover a single machine in detail,
02:33we span across multiple manufacturers in years,
02:35giving a brief overview of the result of our dice roll.
02:39The tale makes another grand entry into the chronicles of life after death.
