I thought I had a photo somewhere that showed some of the features I mentioned in yesterday's Pinball Memories entry.
The pinball bits shown here were found in an antiques warehouse and I think it's safe to say will never see action again!
On the left is the back box (known as a backflash) for a flight-themed game and it shows the series of scores for different amounts that would light up. 1000s and 10,000s in rows at the sides whilst 100s go across the screen.
The playfield on the right belongs to an earlier machine and shows the metal coils around a central post. This was the most elemental type of electric scoring. Before this balls simply fell into depressions that were numbered and the player did the maths!
