Bruce Moyer demonstrates a somewhat rare Williams 1965 "Lucky Strike" pinball machine at The York Show 2008. Designed by the late Norm Clark, this pin features backglass animation, and rollover buttons serving as bowling pins so you can score a strike and win a special. If that isn't enough, this game is an early example of sling kickers. In other words, the ball lands under a sling plastic, and is kicked out. Sling kickers would later be used in Williams' 70's pins such as Space Mission and even World Cup, an early solid state pin.
The York Show takes place in York, PA every October. For more info, check out the show's official site at http://www.theyorkshow.com
