The Who's Tommy Pinball Wizard
Data East, 1994Tommy is a great pin but the translite sucks, please someone make one with the real " WHO " on it. A real WHO translite with the Pinscore sound board original sound track downloaded to it and turn it up all the way and let the silver ball fly.
Thanks for the information. I went to the website but the item didn't come up under translites. I'm going to call them.
Quoted from Rarehero:I always thought it was fine. The game is based on the Broadway show...it is what it is.
True.
However with the playfield art not being too Broadway specific, and the ability to fit a Pinsound board with the original Who music instead , a different translite will complete the transformation away from the Broadway production it was based on.
Agreed. I would rather have it less Broadway specific. It's the reason why I have a Pinsound board for it to go with the original tracks. I'm likely repainting the cabinet to move away from the yellow Broadway handbill theme and losing the text "on Broadway". I have the alternate translite but the one above is very well executed.
Quoted from robotron911:Any luck on the translite. I searched that site and can't find it
Quoted from Ive:Wasn't this artwork a limited edition of 2 - artwork on glass ??? As detailed on another thread
Or is it now available as a translite ? I really hope so - looks incredible !
Quoted from Ive:True.

If you go to the "Tommy" club thread, you will see my pin with the above pictured alternate glass. It took some doing but the guy in Europe sold me the second glass he made. He only made two. Sold the first one to a collector but after I accepted his selling price, he sold it to me.Yes, he only made two and I own one of them.
