Williams WHOOPEE Pinball in Gameplay - a classic from 1964

Well - this is very interesting what i was reading on the Internet Pinball Database: This was the last Williams 4-player game to use a ball lift. And this was the first Williams 4-player game with four score reels for scoring and with the center 5-ball captive ball looping feature.
Really cool!
I couldn't remember having seen "Whoopee" here in germany before. So it was clear i have to buy it when a well-known guy offered it to me. Had big trouble with the Bonus Lights on the Playfield. They won't lit. Reason why was that someone had removed the original ground wire for these 5 lights so that i connected it to a wrong ground line. Always the same on this old machines. Often someone with low knowledge had done worse things. But now it is fully working and we are having a lot of fun here in summer 2023 while playing this 1960s masterpiece. Greetings from germany.

Thanks for sharing! I also own this machine, great fun! I want to learn about repair past the bulbs and bands, it's functional now and would like to keep it that way.

I played this game on the boardwalk down the shore in New Jersey back in the 1960's. So cool that today people are enjoying these wonderful EM machines manufactured by Williams. Such a fun game and the back glass on this Multi- Players puts a smile on my face every time I see it! Thanks for posting.

Honestly this is quite solid gameplay for the time. Shows you how ahead Williams was with their designs.

.50 was a lot of money at that time wasn't it?
