1981 Bally Elektra Pinball Tutorial / Gameplay. 1st 3 level Machine!

[@markjackson1444]

Great series of vids on this really interesting game. Thanks for posting.

[@pinballshenanigans]

Thanks man glad you enjoyed 🤘

[@ExpressoMechanicTV]

Never realised how deep the gameplay is for this machine. Quite something, especially, given how old it is.

[@pinballshenanigans]

For sure! It is quite elaborate for its era!

[@TiltingT]

Thanks for a look at the rules.. didnt realize how much it did

[@pinballshenanigans]

Yaman there is quite a bit there!

[@brianhalverson2628]

During the course of your electra videos I actually purchased an Electra for myself, after watching your gameplay I feel a lot better about my skill level with this game. 😁 It's an awesome machine with a very challenging gameplay, I was pretty lucky to find an original machine in really good condition, the upper playfield on mine is near perfect. Thank you for the videos I learned a lot and will now know what to do if mine starts having any issues. 😎

[@pinballshenanigans]

Oh that is sweet, nice score!!! Haha glad to hear that, I might have made mine a little more difficult than necessary :) I will probably add the center post rubber back and the one way gate on the ramp! I do like my settings for the lower playfield though! Hope yours holds up well!

[@brianhalverson2628]

@@pinballshenanigans yeah I still have the one-way gate installed, rubber on the center Post and the lower play field goes until the ball drains. Even with all that I continue to get exposed to electras radiation!🥴 After watching your tutorial and playing, I've made some improvements! Thanks again!

[@pinballshenanigans]

@@brianhalverson2628 haha yes her radiation is certainly deadly!!

[@michelelindsley812]

Thx for doing this, I'm currently in a challenge on this table (virtual) no where near the same, but the rules and goals are :-)

[@pinballshenanigans]

Glad it was helpful! 🤘

Love these intros, man. Always entertaining. Would be interested in seeing you do reviews of games.

[@pinballshenanigans]

Haha right on! Maybe one day I will do reviews who knows 🤷

[@808zhu]

@@pinballshenanigans I would really like that. 😀 Like hard ratings..

[@gottliebguypinball]

Such an awesome pin! Did you see the Bally Medusa that Joe's classic video games rescued? That's another awesome early ss bally.

[@pinballshenanigans]

Yes I have been watching some of his Medusa videos! A great game for sure!

[@pinfarmer]

I see they got one of these at Tilt now on Richmond. Any chance you could pop in there at fix the flippers on nearly EVERY game?

[@pinballshenanigans]

That is my old machine actually 😁

[@LesF142]

GOOD JOB at fixing this game

[@pinballshenanigans]

Thanks man it was a fun challenge!

[@darkokovacevic4003]

Hello, can you show how to make elektraunits to go from 10 to 6 to play on below level? Btw nice video.

[@pinballshenanigans]

Thanks! My Elektra is long gone but you should be able to find that in the manual! www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=778

[@darkokovacevic4003]

@@pinballshenanigans Thank you very much.

[@DaveTheTrain]

There is a difference between the two multiballs. If you lock the second ball you light an extra ball. I don't think you get that from the single locked multiball. It's a lot harder to lock both balls than lock and release just one so there's more of a reward

[@pinballshenanigans]

Oh right on I was wondering how to light the extra ball! 👍
