George and Dave of The Classic Pinball Podcast discuss Paragon, a 1979 Bally wide-body pinball machine designed by Greg Mayak with artwork by Paul Faris. They explore the machine's features including its Italian bottom variant (three-flipper configuration), gameplay mechanics, and compare it to its sister game Harlem.
