Wonder Wizard™ CB Charlie

The Wonder Wizard™ CB Charlie is a solid-state electronic (SS) home pinball machine from Sentinel Inc., model number PH7730WA03, with a hot rods/trucking travel theme. Its exact release year is unknown. It shares its playfield layout with Sentinel's 'Wonder Wizard Demolition Derby,' 'Flying Aces,' and the 1977 'Star Explorer,' differing mainly in artwork, and uses the same exterior cabinet as those titles.

As a home model, it plays 3 balls per game using a single steel ball, with no adjustment for 5-ball play. Pressing either flipper button operates both flippers simultaneously, a simplification common to budget home machines. The playfield includes two pop bumpers times two, two slingshots, and a kick-out hole, protected by a plexiglass cover, with a tilt penalty that ends the ball in play.

While limited information exists on this specific variant, its shared design lineage with several other Sentinel titles makes it an interesting example of how home-market manufacturers reused hardware across multiple branded releases.
