The sixth Tim Arnold tape, released in June,2001 features Fun Night plus a few other surprises!  Featured in this tape is Fun Night, where Tim would invite everyone from all over the US and other places to come check out his vast collection of pinball machines, gun games, and other cool coin op stuff and at the same time, raise money for charity.  

Disc 1 features a behind the scenes look at Fun Night, showing what it takes to set up an event like this.  Tim also covers Fun Night as it happens with some special guests, like Steve Ritchie, designer of many classics, including Superman, Flash, Firepower, High Speed and more! You will see a packed house, concluding with the giveaways. 

Disc 2 features an excellent Gottlieb '62 Liberty Belle playfield restoration, titled "Hot Wax", which Tim also demonstrated at Pinball Expo 2000.  Some tips include cleaning tuff coat playfields vs. diamond plated, detaching and attaching playfield rails properly, and much more!  There are also some good tips about playfield mylar, using the right cleaning products, and avoiding the wrong ones that could damage your playfield.  The next playfield used for demonstration purposes is Space Invaders, showing how to apply hot wax.

The last 20 minutes concludes with some unique footage Tim came across of a warehouse raid of games in Florida after a tornado had come through, and unfortunately, the entire warehouse was infested with termites.  Watch a lot of stuff get busted into pieces, including the remains of new in the box Circus, and Time Line pinball machines. Watch in horror as the remains of these games crumble into dust at the slightest touch!  Not so new trashed pinball machines include Evil Knievel, KISS, Eight Ball, Red Baron, Star Trek, Baby Pac-Man, and more! See a giant wall of pinball machines stacked to the ceiling!  See a pile and also a row of Asteroids videogames falling apart! There was apparently quite a collection of videogames stored in this warehouse as well, including Qix, Sprint Racer. The Sprint Racer, by the way, towards the end of the tape gets dropped off a forklift from several feet in the air! But if that's not enough folks, see TWO Atari Football cocktail games also get dropped off a forklift.  

This 2 dvd set clocks in at just over 2 hours!  What a deal!

Tim’s original tape is worn away from so many sales, so this is the next best thing.  So, pitch those worn out VHS tapes and enjoy this dvd!  The source tape was the tape played few times before it was transferred to dvd.

One thing to note, when this video was recorded in 2001, the time/date stamp was left on during the entire video.  Still, this tape is well worth it, especially for the playfield restoration section.
