Custom Pinball "circa 75"

I designed and built this electro-mechanical as a Junior in High School. That was the most fun I've ever had in my life! I eventually sold it for $100 on ebay. If anyone knows of it's whereabouts, let me know!

Lit targets and lit hole alternate whenever a kicking rubber is activated. Hitting a lit target turns on one of these four features: light spinners, double bonus, extra ball, light special lane. Ball in lit hole scores all lit features. Special lane alternates. Spinners score 10 or 100 when lit. Has a match feature and free-game knocker. 3 or 5 ball adjustable. Tilt ends ball.

All parts were purchased used except the spinners, roll-over stars, flipper assemblies and buttons. The four stepping switches are not "pin" parts, but were found at an electronic surplus store. They are 12VDC and are used for ball count, bonus count up/down, and two for alternating which targets and holes are lit. Wafer switch stacks on score motor where custom built. Playfield plastics were made from a sheet of plexiglass and a cutting attachment on my Weller soldering gun.

My father made a photographic negative at his print shop for the "mask" behind the back glass which displays the ball and match numbers and the words such as "Tilt", "Game Over", "Shoot Again", and "100,000".
