Description
New Page 1 A Modern Classic... THEATRE OF MAGIC! 1995 Bally/Williams Faux leather and brasswork cabinet... can you escape from the trunk? This cabinet is absolutely gorgeous! Polished chrome legs with new bolts and levelers! Refinished coin door with a new lock! Fabulous backglass artwork features all of the illusions! GORGEOUS playfield with a ton of toys! Shoot pinballs into the MAGIC ROTATING TRUNK! Go for the TIGER SAW multi-ball! Check out the SPIRIT RING magnet diverter! Staircase ramps! Gold-plated wireform ramps! BRAND NEW flipper bats and mechanicals! BRAND NEW score and instruction cards! This playfield SHINES like NEW! Operators manual and spare boxes of light bulbs are included! I always like to start off my listings with the following words that you will generally NEVER see on an eBay auction, especially for pinball machines... IN-HOME SERVICE and FREE LIFETIME TECH SUPPORT! That's right! If you have a problem with this game, we can come out to your home and repair it. This is our business, not just a hobby like most sellers! We are so confident in our restorations that we back them up, unlike other fly-by-night sellers that like to put the words "AS-IS" on all of their auctions. The reason we can back up the games we sell is because we actually do the work that's needed to make the game perform reliably for years to come. It requires a LOT of work and experience to make a 10, 20 or 30+ year old pinball machine reliable. Be VERY cautious in buying pinball machines “AS-IS” on the internet from a stranger that is hundreds or thousands of miles away. I have built an ENTIRE business by just servicing the problems that people buy over the internet. An unrestored game usually results in EXPENSIVE repairs! Don't fall for "free/discount shipping" deals, false ratings on game condition, bad or misleading pictures and claims of a game being completely "shopped" to entice you into a "good deal". Don't fall for sellers that only show you a picture of the game sales FLYER and not a picture of the ACTUAL GAME they will send you! Pinball machines can NEVER be compared simply on price and as always... YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! I want to preface this auction by telling you a little about myself. I am a qualified pinball machine repair technician with a long list of happy and satisfied customers. Due to my in-your-home restoration services, I have a proven track record of service and support in the Eastern Pennsylvania, Central/South Jersey and Northern Delaware areas. I am willing to take your old games in on trade in any condition and can service any of your non-working pinball games right in your home, regardless of where you may have purchased them. Also, if you have games that you simply don't want anymore, working or not, I am always interested in purchasing them. One of my personal favorites... the mega-collectable... THEATRE OF MAGIC! This game was produced in 1995 by Bally/Williams, creator of the greatest pinball machines of the 80's and 90's. Theatre of Magic is simply one of the GREATEST PINBALL MACHINES EVER CREATED! It has so many features and such a fabulous ruleset that it is on most pinball collectors top-ten best games of all time. What better theme to use for a pinball machine than magic and illusions? I have NEVER met anyone that did not like the great magic shows of the past or present and this pinball machine truly brings those spectacles to life. There simply cannot be enough good things said about this game. It's simply AMAZING! Listen to the eerily fantastic soundtrack as you plunge your ball up the ramp to the Theatre entrance. Go for the MAGIC trunk... if you can hit it three times, it will spin around to reveal a secret entrance to start your first ILLUSION! There are multiple illusions to complete such as the Tiger Saw, Hat Magic, Levitating Woman, Spirit Cards, Safe Escape and MORE! Blast the center targets and spell "MAGIC" to reveal the secret ball locks. Lock two balls and watch the trunk spin again to reveal a spiral design. Shoot the spiral and see your ball LEVITATE and DISAPPEAR to start the three-ball MULTI-BALL FRENZY! There's also a TRAP-DOOR that will rise from the playfield. Hit the ball into it and get a MYSTERY AWARD! Try to complete the THEATRE letters and advance the clock too, which will reveal the WIZARD MODE for HUGE scoring possibilities! Check out the video mode that allows you to play video-pinball right on the dot-matrix display to win EXTRA BALLS! There is also a HOKUS-POKUS outlane ball-save feature that will mystify you! Those features are just the beginning. You have multiple ramps, ball scoops, spinners, stationary targets, roll-overs, pop-bumpers, slingshots, kickout saucers, loop shots and more! With all of the features of this mega-classic, you will NEVER get bored with it! The popular and FAMILY FRIENDLY theme goes great in any home gameroom! The collectable games are getting harder to find every day and you just don't come across Theatre of Magic games in this condition every day! The playfield on this game is in fabulous original condition and the original factory clear-coat is intact and shines like glass. The ramps and plastics are in excellent condition with very few chips or cracks. The backglass translight is in beautiful condition! The cabinet is in excellent condition with no fade and very few blemishes which have been expertly touched-up. The entire cabinet has been clear-coated and the coin door has been refinished. See below for the full list of what has been done to this game. This Theatre of Magic plays lightning fast just like it did in 1995! This game has been professionally serviced for long-lasting reliability and enjoyment. I have many years of experience in pinball repair and restoration as a business, not just a hobby.
