Gottlieb’s Cue Ball Wizard Pinball Machine. A quick overview.

[@FriedSoup]

My grandpa has this one! I used to play this all the time as a little kid whenever I'd go to his house.

[@robturner9955]

picking up a CBW today, had to sell my High Speed to get it as my wife said no more than 2 pinballs (and the Twilight Zone is NOT going). I have great memories olaying this machine at th local video store 20+ years ago. It is easy and fun - particularly easy for novice players as it tells you what to do. A great machine.

[@kensurfs]

Awesome. Send some pics👍👍

[@StinkyBlack1]

[@kensurfs]

Ivan The Dude I traded it toward a Dirty Harry. I do miss it👍👍

[@koosk41]

Thanks Ken. My wife will just love this.

[@The_Spectre.]

Thanks for sharing the video, Ken. Pinball machines have been around for decades, and I remember them from my childhood. It's sad that they are pretty much extinct now. Thank you for preserving them! :)

[@kensurfs]

Oh C`mon now, pinball machine`s aren`t videogames xD Well, I guess some of them kinda are, since they have screens and such, but I`ll call them arcade games :) Love me some pinball, but no mancave=no machines :/ a 40 inch widescreen tv in the vertical position and pinball fx2 or pinbal fx 3 gets you pretty darn close though! I was actually thinking about making an arcade style pinball (and other games) machine where I use mechanical switches and mount them to the side of the table. I could make it foldable for storage too :D (small apartment) Spent quite a bit of money in arcade halls when I was younger, and a LOT of it went inside the pinball machines. Needless to say, I`m pretty jelly of your cave hehe. Nicely done ;)

Btw, you can use a penstyle text reader for pc and it can translate for you, or use a text recognition program after you scanned the pages. The penstyle text reader will be the least amount of work though, since you can choose single lines to translate, some text readers can translate on the fly displaying translation on the device itself, but those are much more expensive. :)

[@kensurfs]

Jan Christian Frodahl The pinball machines see to be turning up in movie theater lobbies and bowling alleys much more popular lately👍🎄

[@Bigclifton]

They're not video games or arcade games. They're pinball games!

[@edison2190]

i like song

[@kensurfs]

Edison Filho Thanks Edison👍👍🎱

[@knightmare1015]

Very cool machine Ken. Too bad the instruction manual was in german though.

[@kensurfs]

Stephen Davidson That was funny. At least the schematics were in English.👍👍

[@daurye92]

I can translate it if you want, I'm german.

[@das_hanski]

Just google "gottlieb cue ball wizard manual". 2nd result should be pdf in English.

[@Pinballroomcville]

Great Video! I want this pin. Your Supersonic looks great ,at least the head does. Can’t see the rest. I’m about to start resto on my Supersonic.

[@kensurfs]

I ended up trading my supersonic towards a Twilight Zone, then I traded the TZ. Supersonic was awesome. I still have my Bally playboy though
