The York Show 2012

Here's what the back of "Club House." looks like.

On the left, a Williams' solid state "Hot Tip," and on the right, another early Williams' solid state.

Inside this trailer were three Bally early solid state pins: "Night Rider," "Dolly Parton," and "Strikes and Spares."

I think I played "Hokus Pokus" at G.C Murphy's, a long gone 5 and dime store, when I was a kid.

I love pins with spinners, especially three. It's a great opportunity to rack up the points.

This somewhat rare Chicago Coin "Playtime" features "Top Hat" scoring. If all three numbers match as the ball drains, you get bonus points. The artist for this game was Christian Marche, who did the artwork for several Chicago Coin, Bally, and Williams pins throughout the late 60's and 70's, including "Hokus Pokus."

I like how the playfield had LEDs, which not only protect the bumper caps from getting burn marks, but also keep these nice, rare plastics from warping.

 

This somewhat rare reverse wedgehead was designed by the late Steve Kordek.

This game has lots of bumpers, but the main objective is to lite all four directions of the compass so that special will appear.

Also at the show was this somewhat rare Stern "Viper" pin.

This pin features a turret which turns when the ball enters it. Use the red buttons on the cabinet to aim and launch the ball from the turret.

This "Twilight Zone" was fully modded out.

One mod I had never seen before were these hypnotizing discs on the ramps, which turn.

Time to play some more pins. See you next year.
