1977 Bally Eight Ball pinball machine in action

My favorite machine as a kid. Fonzie and Pinky right?

This was my favorite pinball game many years ago. I was so addicted to this game. Nice video. The one I used to play a voice would tell which ball to go after. Does that not work on this machine?

@Idelia412 You are thinking of Eight Ball Deluxe (1981)

So great!

@TheMav67 Actually, being a solid state game with chimes, it has no sound card. All of the -17 MPU machines had chimes and they all sound the same. I've had a Black Jack, a Strikes and Spares and two Eight Balls and many times I've played Mata Hari and Evel Knievel and Power Play and they've all had the same chime sounds and they all play the same tunes when the game is turned on, when a game is started and at the end of a game.

Lost world was the first Bally machine to use a sound board.

@cookepinball wait if its not computerized then its not solid state. and that thing has crazy chimes! i would go nuts after 10 min of that

sounds like you have the wrong sound card (1977 Bally Strikes and Spares)...nice machine though.

This is my first pinball machine purchase. I have played for years but have never owned one or repaired one. I bought my machine for $50 because a guy was moving and did not want it. The machine is in storage right now, I am looking forward to being able to have a place to learn how to work on it and one day play it.

Nice! I like the camera angle. That pin is awesome and a great one to go with EBD.
