Wizard! is a pinball machine made in 1975 by Bally and is based on the movie “Tommy.” Just over 10,000 units were made. This restoration took 9 days to complete.
wow, what a nice looking machine. I am restoring one. Did you change to LED? If so did you do color match or you used warm white for everything? If not, do you have a list of colors you used and share with me?
You can by the posts are Marco Pinball and I polish all my parts with a media tumbler (Amazon) Just pop them in and a couple days later they come out looking like that. Thanks.
To add: if it doesn't go in the tumbler I use a drill with a buffing wheel and Manzerna P-126 polishing compound. The flip flags plate and screw heads were polished with Manzerna.
Looks beautiful, nice work.
That machine looks fantastic
Great job!
Beautiful work, David!
Tanner just told me you had a channel! This is such a good looking table!

I used warm white non ghosting LED's everywhere from Comet LED.
Hello sir, Beautiful machine. If you don't mind, where can I buy those red posts? Also what did you used to polish those chromes ?

It took me almost 50 years to realize that's Tommy and his mother on the backglass. Kinda racy for mother-son portrait...
