The Machine Bride of Pinbot (Williams 1991) Pinball
NEW UPDATE for 2015
We have received our 1st of 3 brand new Bride of Pinbot play fields from Germany. More than 3 years waiting for these to be designed and built. The reality is likely less than 100 will be made world-wide for this machine... which suffers from play field wear as the original game did not come with clear coat protection.
So - we will be offering these machines as a FULL REBUILD with all new playfield, new plastic parts and fully decked out cabinet. The prices reflected below are adjusted for this one shot opportunity to get your hands on a WAY BETTER THAN NEW Bride of Pinbot.
ETA late summer 2015 for finished products. We will only have 2 available for purchase.
The Bride of pinbot (BOP) is a unique machine in all of pinball. This is the second in the Pinbot series, and arguably the best one of the group. Only 8100 units were ever created.
This is the only pinball machine that shares the same circuitry as the legendary Williams Funhouse, and if you haven't noticed, Funhouse has exploded in value by almost 2x in the last year. We expect the unique nature of this game and lineage to follow the same value trend.
Bride of Pinbot shares much of it's playfield similarities with Pinbot and Jackbot, where the right side contains the skill shot. They also share the concept of a translucent mini pachinko style upper playfield on top of the 3 pop bumpers. The rest is all unique to the BOP.
The main playfield toy takes up a good portion of the back of the game: the 4 faces of the Bride of Pinbot. This object is a large spinning cube that also doubles as a mini playfield used to lock balls and show the state of metamorphosis. The object of the game is to guide the Bride through her multiple stages in becoming human, to the dismay of her husband Pinbot. Only videos can truly show what this is all about. Add to this one excellent techno-inspired sound track and light show. The special backglass is created to show lightshow animations as well as point values.
This game is fun and tough because of it's quick ramps and short playfield area in front of the flippers . Nothing like this game will ever be reproduced again.
