1975 Bally Wizard Pinball Gameplay / Tutorial * I become one with Tommy...NOT!

Come watch my epic fails and attempts to roll the machine!
Roger Daltrey and Ann Margret appear on this machine inspired by the movie Tommy. Dont ask me though, never seen it or any movies with those actors. I'm too young being born in only 1974 ;) The movie came out when I was one :)

The metal rods under the flippers are to keep the ball from bouncing back into play once drained. This game is def. in my top five.❤❤❤

[@pinballshenanigans]

Ah yes, I have heard that!

[@TehAwesomer]

[@pinballshenanigans]

Awesome man thanks! Good luck in the tournament!

As electro-mechanical machines go, the Bally Wizard is my favorite. I must have run a million quarters thru these machines.

[@pinballshenanigans]

Haha nice!!!

[@42.0fmthefever5]

[@pinballshenanigans]

Thanks buddy! Appreciate it!

1977 Salt Lake City Utah, Trolley Square. Upstairs at The Ice Cream Store. Used to roll up those free games. It was AWESOME!

[@pinballshenanigans]

That is classic. Love it!

Wizard! was my favorite game as a yute. I dropped many a quarter in it at the Gold Mine Arcade. I only own two machines, this and Capt Fantastic...my other favorite.

[@pinballshenanigans]

Ahh very nice! Those 2 pins often go together I find! Very nostalgic!

[@entitykeeper8869]

[@pinballshenanigans]

Thanks!

4:05 - That was so embarrassing, I would have just recorded the video over again.

[@pinballshenanigans]

Lol thems some Shenanigans, thats why I didnt :)

[@detroitrocker4098]

We used to hold down the glass over the 4 flags and someone broke the glass!

[@pinballshenanigans]

Oops!!!

[@DougSpata]

7:35 - The metal rails under the flippers are there to prevent death saves.

[@pinballshenanigans]

Really! Wow. Did not realize that that was an issue back in the arcade days! Makes sense! You would think the tilt bob would solve that issue though but if the tilt falls off then the death saves come out I guess!!

[@JIm-w1b]

If you knew what that Tommy movie is about or what it's supposed to mean, you would never want one of those games

[@pinballshenanigans]

Oh really eh!

[@Minoru7]

The left side flipper seems to be broken.

[@pinballshenanigans]

Oh really? Id have to watch the video back

[@junior_pinball]

Is it the solid state or em version

[@pinballshenanigans]

EM. I dont think there was a SS version!
