When pinball’s most controversial designer passed away earlier this year it was widely accepted that the dream of Python Angelo‘s holy grail – Williams Pinball Circus going into production died with him. Ten years after the prototype was completed we celebrate the announcement that Python’s legacy will be complete & one of pinball’s most innovative games ever, will be built!
Also proving how much can happen in a decade, we take a look at how a stash of early 90’s Bally Williams pins stood up to ten years of some of the harshest weather conditions anywhere on the planet…North Queensland!
At last we get hold of the STERN Mustang LE track list sourced from 50 years of SONY’s back catalogue…but is it predictable or inspirational?
For all Pintech Stevie’s potentially lifesaving Pinball Safety Tips…how did he end up trapped under a game this month?
After eight years, is the man behind Gorgar, Space Shuttle & Dr Who – pinball designing legend Barry Oursler returning to pinball?
Bally Williams may have closed it’s doors in 1999 but STERN Pinball appear to have leant a trick or two from them in 2014. STERN are set to rebuild the classics as they open THE VAULT!
We begin planning our Australian Pinball Expo with the release of the event’s games list!
And we’ll discover which pivotal game in pinball history is being brought into the new millennium with the development of a “2.0” version.

Well done guys for yet another awesome podcast. Just a little correction, pretty sure you meant ‘ lock is lit ‘ podcast not ‘ special when lit ‘. I’m kevlar on the pinball arcade forum and maintain the list of known pinball podcasts there and you had me scouring the internet trying to find this fictitious podcast :-).

Keep up the great work.
Kev
We are idiots Kevin! Thanks for the correction mate…those boys deserve us to get that sort of thing right. Into the “corrections” pile it goes for EP.8. Thanks again for the message and a BIG thanks for taking the time to listen. Cheers Rod
Haha! Awesome show as usual guys, and I was going to point out that we are indeed Lock is Lit, although we are certainly “special, when lit” sometimes. Many thanks to Kevin for clearing it up. Not sure if it was Gaz that said he tried to contact us, but I have no record of it. Our email is feedback@lockislitpodcast.com if he wants to send it again.
HAHA…thanks Marc! We probably ran into trouble when we tried contacting “SpecialWhenLit” BTW Really enjoying your show mate! Thanks for giving ours a listen. Cheers Rod
Hey, if you’re wondering what barry oursler has been up to, just look at his linkedin page. He’s had to take lesser positions (purchasing manager and administrative assistant)

Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I’m sure it’s nowhere near as fun as designing pinball. Also someone interviewed him recently at the southern fried expo:
