It's the May edition of Open Coin Door and we've been everywhere — Vegas, Florida, Pennsylvania, and somehow back alive. This episode, we break down our wild adventure streaming the pinball tournament at PinFest in Allentown: a buy-sell-trade pinball festival where the peanut guy moved, the internet barely existed, and one of us ended up in a maintenance closet on the phone with a stranger trying to save the stream. We also go deep on Scorbit — the platform quietly connecting old pinball machines to the internet — including live tournaments with real cash jackpots, how NFC login actually works (and where it doesn't), and why Jersey Jack is still the villain of this story. Plus: a fully functional Windows 98 PC with flying toasters is now in the building, shoutout to Branden.
