I watched with a child. He saw all those switches and his eyes got big. Then, he saw you reach in and hit the 8E switch on the score wheel and everything tuned on! He was so impressed. So was I ! 100 switches and you used the schematics and figured out exactly which one.... I love it!
Tell him a good education will teach him how to spell experience :) Thanks for watching!!!
E-X-P-E-E....... uhhhhh can we get back to talking about AC and DC again? I'm lost!
I don't know why I enjoy watching you videos so much. I think it is so rare to see someone who actually knows what they are doing today on RUclips.
He knows what he is doing he explains what he is doing. He can read a schematic and I can too but not as well as Ron. They are amazing machines and works of art.
@@Gortman1 who is Ron? I watched another young fellow talk about pinball machines and he is like watching paint dry, just no pizazz to his videos. I like Joe's down to earth here's how it is style, no pretense, no hype, just solid logic and repair work.
@@DodgyBrothersEngineering Ron is the guy talking in Joe's videos. His brother Joe does a few too.
Nice that it doesn't just say "It's broke" 😁
I enjoy the Bally EMs from that era. And even more when their owner keep them in "player condition" not trying to pimp anything up to make it look like brand new and putting multicoloured LEDs or stuff like that. Another very good and interesting video Ron. Loved it !
Got a Wizard as a Christmas present back in '81. Still have it today!
Love the customer has left (and even protected) a lot of the signs of wear. Testament to how many people got hours of fun out of the machine before they got it. Thanks as always for the video.
When you called the left flipper (G.I. on) "charming" for the homeowner, I liked that! It is charming. I have a Bally Wizard and that feature does appeal to me, for whatever reason.
Your schematic troubleshooting, for the viewer, is always good. I always learn something. And the motor oiling was something I'll now remember, if I see those symptoms! Thanks for the time you put into these videos!!
Finally, found the pinball game I used to play way back in the late 70s in a dept. store.
great video ron glad too see another pinball repair keep them coming
good video. very good explanation of EM. I will recommend this video to anyone who wants a greater understanding of EMs
I've gotten to play this a few times an enjoyed it. The flipping flags are unique. Thanks for another great video.
I own 2 of these machines. Grew up playing one in the back of a pizza place. One of my favorite games
Thanks so much Ronnie! Appreciate it!😊
When I saw the first play (before you oiled the score motor). I said to myself "that's one laid back pinball machine" lol
I love that as a (what 50 year old?) machine it was taking its time to score (I imagined it had a voice, grumbling, saying 'no need to rush, i'll score ya!')... and after some love and attention its playing like a young whipper-snapper again :D.
Thanks Ron, another classic repair run through.
Great to see this famous old Bally classic. I was actually staying with you on the trouble shooting…..300 videos later and something must have sunk in. The oil on the score motor was a great fix too. Thanks for posting.
The fun part is finding that last issue to make it work. You can be 55 and when it is playable and you fixed it and I am sure others will back me up you are 10 again. Redoing this is such a great hobby. Thanks for all the videos always good for learning and laughing oh and staying up way to late and being tired at work the next day.
Dude got a wizard for Christmas. WOW someone must of Loved U
Waiting for the day you get an ADDAMS FAMILY machine..... 😁
And the winner for best cinematography for pinball repairs goes to….. Ronnie- Joe’s Classic Video Games
I think that one of the charms of an old E.M. pinball machine is all of the clicks, clacks, hums, and buzzes. The sounds and vibrations all takes oneself back in time. I dare say that an old E.M. pinball machine is essentially a time machine in a certain interpretation.
Great action. I love the sounds from these old machines
@40:47 - If anyone is a regular Mustie1 watcher, the Zoom bottles are the ones that he uses to fill a carb bowl or '"dribble a little fuel down it." A lot of people ask about those. Thanks to him, I found Zoom oil at the local Ace.
Amazing piece of mechanical engineering. To think all that can be replace with a circuit board the size of a credit card...
New machines doing this from the 80s and 90s have 4 boards the size of an 8 x 11 sheet of paper even modern machines have decent sized boards but they also do more.
@@Gortman1 Yeah.
The game logic for a game like this could easilly be implemented in a single tiny microcontroller chip, but unlike the relays of the 70s, digital logic can't drive the solenoids directly. You need beefy transistors for that and there is only so much those can be miniaturised.
@@petermichaelgreen I think you could easily fit enough TO-220 transistors onto a credit-card sized board. IMO it's probably harder to fit all the connectors for all the wires you'd need.
That playfield is a perfect candidate for a hardtop
Sounding Good again Mate from OZ......
It's so amazing. That we no the correct sound and speed. Just by listening and playing it.
Stereo Rons
*new band name*
Its refreshing Ronnie to see your excitement over Wizard. It makes me wantto live mine all over again. I had one in the 80s and i felt it was not that interesting I had a gottlieb surfer at the same time and may surfer just overshadowed it. I gives me new license to want to play it again.
My friend in high school had one of these in her basement - lashed it all the time!
I got my Chime's out side Cabinet Sounds Fantastic ...
Aww. No "It's broke" from Joe XD
My all time favorite game. I remember being in a bowling alley. And I was playing this game. I was killing it. It was just 1 those awesome days
I already know what's wrong with it. IT'S BROKE.
Regarding the leveling feet- look for swivel leveling mounts. they come in lots of sizes, capacities and lengths. mcmaster-carr has lots of them.
Those adjustable feet looks like normal industrial feet to me.
Awesome EM pinball! I still can’t get the Marksman 3 in 1 SAE 20 in the Netherlands😩been searching for years for a shop that ships to my address. I need it for my Recel Criterium 75 EM pinball and my Seeburg VL200!
i think you could do a whole episode on the leg levers for us hardcore types
19:23 Hi! They used to switch on rows of pinballs with the left flipper button. Is it in the same era when they used to switch them off by kicking their bottom ?
Now back to philco radio repair ❤
When your wizard isn't working bring it to the pinball (machine) wizard. He's got such a supple wrist!
@3:01 - Man, I am frugal and all, but I haven't ever wanted to clean and reuse my rubbers. Wait, what was the topic again?
Thos are the shinyest leg levelers I have ever seen
JOE, in home position the coin relay will turn ON even if you don't put any coins in the coin chute? I thought the coin relay would only turn ON only if the coin switch was closed. It seems that the reset coil/reset coil switch can also turn ON the coin relay so you can bypass the coin chute switch and don't need to insert any coin money to keep the game turned on?
Hey Ron!!
That one is sure setup to the out lane.
it's broke?
Did he ever give you the source for the leg levers?
Industrial supply house. Those feet looks like normal adjustable stainless feet.
Ketchup or Tartare?
The lick relay was makung the noise. If you replace the coil on the lock relay will the 60hz humming.go away?
Typically it's more likely that the hardware in which the coil and relay pull in lever is mounted is 'loose' for some reason, most often that would be natural wear from use over time. In some situations you might be able to slightly bend some component of the coil support, or pull in lever, to remove the buzzing but it's often best to leave it as is, as you can easily make the problem worse or cause the relay to misfunction. These old EMs work as much by technical art as they do by technical design and it always pleases me that Ron approaches their repair with that sort of philosophy. The diagnosis and oiling of the motor being a good example of that.
@@Pink404 I agree with you if the bending doesn't work isn't a new coil going to be less likely to give a 60hz humm that vibrates the metal hardware ?
As I understand it, Wizard was the first pin to have been designed from a movie.
Blown fuses? Bad power switch ? Looks like a power problem
Transformer bad ?
Yodelayheehoo
nipple shadowing..?
I bet the note said "it's broke"
