Guess what I found on Holiday in the south of italy

Post by Riqz85 »

A beautiful The Who's Tommy pinball machine. Apparently only 3500 ever made (can someone confirm this). Here's the girlfriend playing it!
If you have any other info it will be much appreciated!

That's pretty cool, I never knew they even made a Tommy machine. I wonder if you can play it by smell...

No but there's a blind mode where the paddles get covered up by a sheet of metal so you can't see them!

I'm really not joking. There's a seriously blind-mode where the paddles get covered up!

Huh i did not know there was only 3500 of them. I was at a hotel water park up north in Wisconsin on birthday and in the "arcade" room they had one of these pinball machines. I lost two tokens on that jerk machine. Thats two more games of Skee Ball i could have played and I could have gotten some more laffy taffy or tootsie rolls!
