Here's a shot of "Flip-Out '91's" playfield.

Williams' "Casanova," pin was one of just a few to feature bagatelle animation behind the backglass. Others include "Pot 'O' Gold," "Blast Off" and "Apollo."

Here's a shot of the playfield.

The cabinet appears to have been repainted.

Here's a Bally 1960 "Beauty Contest" pin. There were actually two of these for sale at this show. This one was priced at $275, and the other was priced at about half that, but not as nice cosmetically.

This game has one ball per play, and no flippers.

A side view from the back of the game.

 

Here's a shot of the front of the cabinet.

Here's a 1979 Stern "Hot Hand" pin.

For some reason, the backglasses always seem to be rough on this particular title.

Notice the rotating flipper. The only other game to feature one was Stern's 2001 hit, "Monopoly."

Here's a shot of the cabinet.

This rare 1939 Exhibit "Contact" pin was the oldest one at the show, and one of my favorites.

This is one of the first pins that feature backglass animation.

Looking inside the back of the game, notice the two stepper units at the top, and the one to the right, which more than likely provide the plane backglass animation.

This game is also probably one of the earlier examples of a pin with playfield lights. I was told a while back that the lights themselves are not the standard #44 or #47 bulbs used in later games, but instead, something resembling old Christmas lights, and very hard to find.
