Picked up a new pin. Bally Mata Hari from 1977/78. Early solid state with chimes. Backglass is original and contains the infamous German slogan on the dagger. Production number 5006. Plays 100% but needs a nice refresh.

This pinball machine is the first to be restored / refurbished under the banner - Whiskey Pinball.

1965 Williams Lucky Strike.

Type of pinball machine: Electro-mechanical (alot of switches, relays, and stepper motors)

Roughly 1,800 units produced (probably less than 1,000 left in the wild)

As one would guess it has a bowling theme where you can score strikes and spares by rolling over the buttons on the playfield or hitting standup targets and other features.

Backbox also has animation - when getting a strike, a pinball rolls towards the bowling pins and hits a bell) - really cool feature.

Picked up this machine in Clearlake Oaks, CA. Used to be located in the game room of a former B&B / private flat called, Giraffic Park - backbox retains a top score card of former guests.

The teardown begins...
