Theatre of Magic

This video shows the Bally pinball machine Theatre of Magic with a few modifications. The Tiger Saw blade is now motorized. The Magic Trunk is adorned with a chain and real lock. The Mirror has lights installed and a flashing Clock and Target decals has been added. I will make another video of more of the games play features soon as well as a new modification that I have added. The machine is using ver 1.2 software with these modifications without any problems.
The Tiger Saw blade is activated by hitting the capture ball target.

Easily my favourite pinball game.

Your machine is a little confused. Your magic trunk "thinks" it's hit while it spins. Maybe because you added the lock on it but I saw TOMs without lock on the trunk doing the same.I see you added some symbols of TOM to the target and add a clock at right loop but I would prefer accepting locked balls at first. TOM is one of the best pins to play and I think the worst to keeping it in good conditions.I was playing a lot of those machines and no one was working perfect.Iv got jackpots from jets:P
