Firepower II Pinball machine from Williams in action - the underrated sequel
Greetings from germany! When I first met this Pinball on location around 1985, on the one hand it was cool, but on the other hand I somehow got bored with the gameplay of Firepower II relatively quickly. Overall, it's a beautifully designed pinball machine, but in terms of playfulness it just doesn't come close to the original from 1980. The multiball on the Firepower II has been programmed so that it can be achieved relatively easily. It's a multi-ball game with 2 balls and if you're good at pinball, you can hold both balls for a relatively long time. It's a good thing that they gave this pinball machine a 7-digit display, because that's how the points are reflected after endless games. I think this is a super cool machine for the beginners. For the advanced players it is fun if you play Fireball II only from time to time. BUT: this model is very rarely seen now that we have 2024.

Greetings from germany. It was time for this great classic from 1980 to finally be captured in moving pictures. And so my good friend and I met in the garage to take a trip back in time over 40 years. It must have been 1981 that we met “Silverball Mania” for the first time in a pub in our hometown. This pinball machine was immediately our favorite. At the time, it was unimaginable that this mas...

The main reason why was because this machine was one of the very first pinball games i had contact with in the late 1970s. So hungry for playing pinball - so low on pocket money. Those were the days. Often....not funny. But we are all able now to bring our dreams back into our homes. Greetings from ge...

    It drives me crazy that there’s close-ups of the plunger while we’re missing the action. I like the sounds and I think this is a good game. But my goodness you’ve got to find somebody that can do better camera work. We’ve already seen the back glass. We’ve already seen the plunger. We’ve already seen the color, what we haven’t seen is how the game plays, which is the most important thing.

    Love the 70's EM machines. This one isn't too bad. But, like a lot of those machines (especially Williams)... they weren't target-rich, played fast, and drained very quickly. While I absolutely love the backglass art of that period, more times than not... the playfield was not laid out well, and very boring to look at. Adding a gate, center post between the flippers, or a left lane kicker would have done wonders. No drop targets?! Very bland layout. If I were ever lucky enough to own an EM, I'd definitely be making some additions to this one. One of my favorites is "Out of Sight"". Lots of cool stuff. Thanks for uploading!

    Hallo Got the same machine, currently repairing. Had is partially working, but now it is dead again. I do have a request, I found a bell in the game but there is no plunger and I can not find any lose wires neither. Would you be able to share some pictures of the bell? I saw some but it seems the bell is in under the game field. I my game the unconnected bell is in the back box.

    • @Tomyelectronic
      @Tomyelectronic 14 днів тому

      Hello. Greetings from germany. Only a few hours and the german soccer team will battle against Switzerland! Yeah. Just a short answer! These old Williams EM Games hide a "Big Bell" (with coil and plunger) at the backside of the inside-cabinet. On the left side -and normally connected over one plug- you will find the Replay Knocker. The single bell without any wires in the backbox is triggered by the stepping "Match Number Unit" above. There has to be this special "plunger" which hits this bell each time the unit steps. Driven by the 1-Point-Relay. I don't know how it is in other countries - but in germany this plunger is being missed mostly. I think the operators could decide back in those days if they wanted it - or not. Mostly the pub owners in Germany HATED the loud noise of chimes and chime units and bells. So often the EM Games in germany do only have their "own" electromechanical "sound". Good luck for you to find the right solution!

    1978 classic ❤ I was in 4th grade on one quarter turning the score over. It’s a easy game to play, just need good aim to hit targets and get that 20k locked and get the 5x multiplier done. That bunny 🐰 in the middle is tricky to hit. I wouldn’t hit directly into the middle but it would be fortunate for it not to go down the middle.

      Hello and thank you for asking. The Ball Count Unit on the Ground Panel only has two wiper fingers. If there is a third one there definitely is something wrong. But the best way to check it out by yourself is visiting the superb Internet Pinball Database were you can find the manual for this machine. There are drawn "pictures" of all of the units. Free Download. Check it out and ...good luck on your mission!

      Hannover Newspaper from march 2019: Peter Mehner opened Café Tabac in 1978 on Ferdinand-Wallbrecht-Straße in der List as a student bar with French flair and lots of legitimate clouds of smoke. The owner wanted to bring a piece of French joie de vivre to Hanover with the bistro - a plan that worked for a long time. Now, after 41 years of catering business, the windows are covered with cardboard, containers are in front of the door and the distinctive entrance sign has already been removed. “Urgent renovation work” made a break necessary, it was initially stated on the restaurant’s website. It is now “permanently closed” and not only is a piece of French tradition coming to an end - Hannover is one institution poorer. That's what i found after reading your words! Greetings from germany!
