<p>This is the only pinball machine that shares the same circuitry as the legendary Williams Funhouse, and if you haven&rsquo;t noticed, Funhouse has exploded in value by almost 2x in the last year. &nbsp;We expect the unique nature of this game and lineage to follow the same value trend.</p>
<p>Bride of Pinbot shares much of it&rsquo;s playfield similarities with Pinbot and Jackbot, where the right side contains the skill shot. &nbsp;They also share the concept of a translucent mini pachinko style upper playfield on top of the 3 pop bumpers. &nbsp;The rest is all unique to the BOP.</p>
<p>The main playfield toy takes up a good portion of the back of the game: &nbsp;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&nbsp;metamorphosis. &nbsp;The object of the game is to guide the Bride through her multiple stages in becoming human, to the dismay of her husband Pinbot. &nbsp;Only videos can&nbsp;truly&nbsp;show what this is all about. &nbsp;Add to this one excellent techno-inspired sound track and light show. &nbsp; The special backglass is created to show lightshow animations as well as point values.</p>
<p>This game is fun and tough because of it&rsquo;s quick ramps and short playfield area in front of the flippers . &nbsp;Nothing like this game will ever be reproduced again.</p>
<h2>Restoration</h2>
<p>We&rsquo;ve restored a few Bride of Pinbot machines in the past. &nbsp;Here are a couple restoration photo montages:</p>
