Notes:

This 1991 machine has alphanumeric displays and the Williams “W” logo on the speaker grilles. A licensed conversion kit changed these items. See Dutch Pinball’s 2014 ‘The Machine: Bride of Pin·bot 2.0’.

10/27/2010 A user reports that ROM version L-7 has a multi-player bug in it and is not recommended. The error is: If any player joins the billionaire’s club, after they drain and their bonus is collected, the machine will reset. L-6 does not contain this bug.

Artist John Youssi provided us the following information:

I painted the backglass based on a rough sketch Python gave me. I re-sketched the whole thing, adding detail while tightening it up. Python was the artist for the cabinet while Kevin O’Connor inked only. I remember Python doing all the art except for the backglass. Plus it all looks like his style.

We saw Kevin O’Connor’s name listed among the Team Credits on a playfield plastic near the left flipper, although he only inked the playfield. He confirms this information to us:

Looking at the playfield, I sort of recall dreading to ink all those circles in the middle and thinking how insanely intricate Python’s pencil was, but that’s it – inking only. I had great respect for Python’s artistic ability and felt honored to be trusted with part of the production of his project. Python was big on giving everyone credit.

Care Instructions

REPRODUCTION BACKGLASS CARE and RECOMMENDATIONS

Never “triple thick” or apply any additional coatings to the backside of the glass.
Alcohol, acetone, and most ‘rattle-can’ liquids must NEVER contact with the ink.
If laying a glass down on its backside, always put down a towel or fabric to lay on.
The glass stock is tempered – so avoid significant hot-cold temperature shifts.
Be cautious of any impacts to the edges, such as setting the glass down on a concrete floor.
Never allow ‘sitting’ moisture on the backside. After 5-7 minutes there is a risk of ink degradation.
Do not spray cleaner directly onto the backside as prolonged contact with liquids may damage your glass.
If you must clean the backside (bulb dirt, etc.) wipe with a pre-dampened cloth (water or Windex).
After wiping, make sure the liquid is dried off (wipe all the way to dry). Do not allow any moisture to sit.
Glass cleaner sprayed directly on the fronts is fine.
Don’t let cleaner sit between the channels and your glass.
