Bally (1997 DMD) Champion Pub Pinball
This Just In 11/09/2012…
One of the rarest pinball machines in modern pinball is the Champion Pub. Made by Bally / Williams in 1997, this machine was on a very short run before the company closed it’s doors for good. As you may know, some modern Bally / Williams pinball machines are fetching over $10,000 now due to their unique game play and design perfection.
However, none of those games are as rare as the Champion Pub. Only 1,369 machines were ever made world-wide and WE have one.
This machine is currently going through a minor restoration – however it was already in fantastic condition to start. Pictures and detailed information coming soon. Call or email to inquire. This machine will not last and may likely be the last one we ever see.

No Good Gophers (Williams 1997 DMD) Pinball
If you like (love) Golf, Pinball and the movie Caddy Shack, then you need to own a No Good Gophers machine. Even though this machine was never officially tied to the movie, there is no doubt a connection. This machine is fun, funny and exciting.
Unique features:
- Gophers pop out of the playfield and taunt you. You need to hit them to disappear and behind them are the ramps and entrances to other areas.
- Slam Ramp Jump – when enabled, the ramp comes down and you can launch your ball up to the hole… if you are lucky you will get a hole-in-one.
This game is designed by the legendary Pat Lawlor – and his machines never disappoint!
Limited production to 2711 machines made world wide! So this is a pretty rare machine to own!
Planned Upgrades
- Full tear down and rebuild
- Full LED conversion
- Under cabinet LED lighting effects
- New legs and hardware
Ripley’s Believe it or Not (Stern 2004 DMD) Pinball
Ripley’s (RBION) is one of my most favorite machines designed by the legendary Pat Lawlor (and artwork by John Youssi). This machine has ALWAYS been said to be the Twilight Zone of pinball made by STERN – and I could not agree more. You may not even understand the game for a month before it really starts making sense. It is one of the most rewarding games to play well and keeps you coming back to play time and time again.
This particular machine is in fantastic original condition. Just a minor scuff on the side of the backbox, but otherwise all original. The playfield has no wear and all original, unbroken plastic.
The entire machine has been stripped, waxed and detailed. Followed up by new rubber, balls and a full custom LED replacement. We’ve done some creative work with the lighting as well.
The backbox fluorescent bulb has been replaced by custom LED lighting that slowly changes over time.
As well, the under cabinet LEDs are synchronized to the effects on the playfield for very dramatic play.

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.
NEW BoP Restoration
This machine has gone through it’s own metamorphosis:
- Fully restored cabinet and back box – repaired and all new artwork. Looks like new!
- New coin door and lock.
- All new playfield plastic ramps
- All new chrome Bride helmet
- All new pop bumper assemblies
- All new plastics
- New 2nd playfield

- New balls
- Spinning head fully disassembled, cleaned and re-adjusted for perfect play and alignment.
- Full custom LED kit. We went through a lot of combinations to get a unique experience only found on a BOP.
- Custom under cabinet lighting to match the theme of the Bride of Pinot
- New chrome legs with matching leg cabinet protectors round out a fantastic visual appearance.
Pictures coming soon of new playfield (June 2015)

Williams (1995) Road Show Pinball
If you know anything about pinball, you’ve heard of Williams Funhouse. The one with the talking dummy head in the middle of the playfield?
Well, the designer (Pat Lawlor) of Funhouse was given full run of the shop and came out with it’s sequel: Road Show.
Road Show has TWO talking dummies on the playfield, both of which talk smack to each other and to you. They are fully animated and watch the ball as it travels inside the game. They also can swallow and spit up the ball and are integral parts of the game.
Roadshow is also one of the few wide-body machines ever made by Williams in the 90’s, which allows for more room to put just about everything the designer could think of from all his past successes into this machine. The result is one of the craziest and complicated machines ever made. We also own one in our game demo room – which we refuse to sell. Thankfully, we have another!
Restoration will include:
- Full tear down, clean and polish
- Replacement of all standoff plastic
- Replacement of all available broken specialty plastics
- Full conversion to LED lighting
- Full repair of all circuit boards back to factory condition
- Under cabinet custom LED flash effects (Castle Classic Arcade exclusive)
Available late Feb 2014. Contact us to reserve this machine before it’s gone…
