Hey Pinball Wizards! NO RESERVE!

1994 Data East The Who's Tommy Pinball Machine

Based on the Tony Award-winning, smash-hit Broadway musical, The Who's Tommy brings you back to the 1960's when pinball was king and the rock opera album was a hit with such songs as "Pinball Wizard" and "See Me, Feel Me", all of which are featured in this game and MORE! 21 songs in total, the most of any pinball machine!

You take on the role of Tommy, the deaf, dumb and blind kid who plays a mean pinball! To give you the feeling of being Tommy, the game has a unique feature - blinders!

During certain modes these blinders curl out and cover the flippers so you're playing blind! It really adds some excitement to the game! This pinball machine is one of the most popular titles from Data East pinball! Everyone knows Tommy, and this game would be excellent for a home with small children! And it's being sold with NO RESERVE!

Get this game into your basement, rec room or gameroom and watch your friends line up to play - up to 4 players at once!! It has a plunger skill shot, 3 pop bumbers, two ramps, and a unique mirror ball lock - hit it five times to start the ultimate Multiball!

This particular game is in decent condition. The playfield is excellent, with only small chips at the main upkicker hole on the right side, but otherwise shines beautifully. The flipper area, normally a problem on these games, and the whole playfield itself is in very nice condition. The plastic over the kick up hole is cracked, and the airplane has a hole in the right-side wing - both are only noticable if you're looking for it. The game now plays fast and furious after a complete cleaning and tune-up!!! It has also been set to Free Play, ready for you to play immediately!!!

Some of the things I do when cleaning a game include:

  • All new stainless steel balls
  • Replace all burned out lamps
  • Replace broken flashers
  • Replace or fix broken playfield devices
  • Clean entire playfield
  • Remove and clean all plastics by hand
  • Polish metal parts
  • Adjust all switches
  • Replace worn-out rubber
  • Clean entire cabinet
  • Clean backglass, back and front
  • Touch up paint where possible
  • Replace batteries on CPU
  • Extensively playtest the game to make sure it's fully working! (The best part!)

    The backglass on this game is excellent, with no marks or scratches. The cabinet sides are nice and yellow with some small marks around the flipper buttons, which is common on Data East games. The head has a few chips near the bottom on the head and some marks in the artwork. The front cabinet is hasp-free - a very uncommon state for most games! - but has a small licence plate on the lower half. The coin door was damaged in an attempt to break into it, so the third coin slot is fairly bent up. The display, however, is bright with zero burn-in.

    Here are lots of pictures to show the condition of this game (sorry if some of them are a bit washed out due to the flash - playfield is very shiny!!!)

    I ship games via Internet Freight and charges generally run in the $100-$200 range depending on location. There is a $60 charge for the palletizing and wrapping of the game for shipping to cover materials. I will gladly ship the game any way you choose, but Internet is generally 20-30% cheaper than other carriers!

    I accept payment via money order or Billpoint - I do not accept PayPal due to their high fees. If you would like to see the game prior to making a bid, please send me an email to make an appointment. Game is located in downtown Toronto, ON, Canada.

    Thanks for looking!
