The score chimes that sounded added up to 420. There was a rollover on the first ring of the tens chime, causing the hundreds chime to ring as well.
On a side note, the Bally and Gottlieb chimes sound better to me than Williams. Williams chimes just sound bad, especially the thousands tone.
Edited because: Me not thinking, also added a side note.
Actually, I listened again… the chimes sound more as if they were in a Bally table made between 1973 and 1977.
Edited because: Typo
Been looking online. If you listen to the tuning of Gottlieb chimes, they go C, E flat, G, from highest score indicator to lowest. Bally, Williams, and Chicago Coin make theirs differently.
P.S. The earliest table I played was Phoenix, made in 1978 by Williams. It’s a solid state table, and uses a solid state soundboard that can be switched between arcade-style sounds and electronic square wave chimes using DIP settings.
You seem to know your pinball well.
I recognize the sounds quite clearly. The sampled chimes sound like old Gottlieb chimes made circa 1975, telling from the tuning and mechanical noise.
And if my ears are good enough, if the highest note on the chimes counted 10 points then that would be a total of 520 counted out.

Speaking of which, I like how Zen remade the pinball game.

The sound effects in this scene I recognize from EM tables made between 1970-78. A few early solid state tables from 1977-79 used them too, as well as one 1969 EM.
The last time chimes were used, however, was in 1988 as a special feature on a “time travel” themed table. Once the era reached 1950s the chimes turned on.

’cause Rarity can do it too.
Mucha Lucha!
…I actually didn’t keep up with that show too much, but yeah, I remember it.
All she needs now is a luchador mask.
Yeah, we’ve seen less of it in recent seasons, but it seems to be making a comeback with all the Pinkie craziness we got in the newest ep’.
You bring up a good point with that. There are a lot of episodes that are “Loony Tunes” inspired, especially when it involves a Pinkie Pie episode.
I see it just a nod to “Loony Tunes,” like the falling anvil, and such in Season 1.
This part isn’t that weird. (But “falling apart” part… Yea)
Would be nice if they did make a new one. Closest they did was a “Sonic Pinball Party” for GBA.
I hear rumors that M2 might be remaking “Sonic Spinball” as part of their 3DS EShop “3D Sega classics” line of games. They just released “3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2.” (Probably my favorite 2D Sonic game.)

Some bronies should make a Pinkie Pie pinball video game.
Out of the 4 levels of Sonic Spinball, I only liked the Lava Powerhouse and The Machine. I think Sega should work on another rendition of the game to modernize it (as well as have classic style) and have more levels.
Really? I see a lot of Sonic fans who hate it. But yeah I liked it too. It was fun, challenging, and had some nice references to the Americanized Sonic canons. (Like Cluck, the Freedom Fighters, and Scratch cameo’ing.)
I also liked “Kirby’s Pinball Land” for Gameboy, as well.
If you get that ref,I love you.
