Episode 391 - Chicago Coin Thing Refurb, Parade Info, Cheating and Bingos

Chicago Coin's 'Thing' is up and running in my home! I go over some of the challenges and gloss over some others. The game has several fairly fragile-looking components. Odd and unique relay ladders, and tons and tons of relays under the playfield. Great game, and I'm happy it's done! Almost every shot earns at least 10,000 points, and the two passive bumpers at the bottom earn 100,000 at certain times. In this game, increase in score will open the ball save gate sooner, allowing a ball to drain, so it is in your best interest to make accurate shots. I also got a correction from a friend (and friend of the show), and discussed a very interesting thread on Pinside about cheating and bingos: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/cheating-a-bingo Thanks for listening!
