Here's some sort of video pinball game, made by TAB-Austria in 2005.  You can view the six page promotional flyer here.

Check out the big LCD screen.

Not sure what the "notes" is for. Maybe a place to store operator maintenance notes?

Here's another game you don't see too often.

Scorcerer was one of three Williams' "System 9" pins.  The other two were "Space Shuttle" and "Comet."

This was the first example I've seen of "direct ink."  In other words, everything is removed from the playfield, it's sanded down to bare wood, and the ink is printed directly onto the playfield. The final result is a clearcoated playfield that looks brand new.

Here's a shot of "Sorcerer's" cabinet.

There was also this 1974 Chicago Coin "Gin."

The playfield was in great shape.

The backglass was a little rough though. The artwork by the way, was done by Christian Marche.

This 1963 "Hootenanny" is one of the few Bally pins made with a carryover feature. In other words, each free ball earned lights a letter in order,  which stays lit for the next game, and when that player has all letters lit, they earn a special, in other words, a free game.

Trivia: This is the first game to have a mushroom bumper.

This 1964 Bally "Hay-Ride" pin I found in the flea market is quite rare.  The Internet Pinball Database says there were only 250 of these made. There are more pics of this pin, by the way, at the IPDB.
