#76 Bally Speakeasy - The Classic Pinball Podcast

Deep dive into a 1982 Bally Speakeasy: restoration, mechanics, and gameplay.

Synopsis

George and his co-host discuss a 1982 Bally Speakeasy pinball machine that George recently acquired for $20+ years ago, restored, sold, and has now received back as a 'boomerang.' The episode covers the game's history, mechanics (add-a-ball with gambling theme, flyaway targets, roulette wheel), acquisition story, and includes extended gameplay footage. George has pre-sold the machine to a customer as a Christmas gift and notes it's one of his fastest flips ever.
