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. |

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. |
