1974Williams Star Pool
This machine was in non-working condition when I got it, and needed a lot of repairs. The head and cabinet needed structural repairs. I was planning to fix this up to "re-home", but we ended up liking this one a lot. It tells the story of it's life, probably broken for a period of time, turned into a workbench, as you can see the ring on the play field is from a paint can...that was cleaned up to the degree it doesn't impact game play now.
Since my wife and I thought this was so much fun to play, I spent a lot of time on the play field. The pop bumpers were completely rebuilt, as were the flippers. I completely stripped the play field to clean it, and it has several coats of wax now. Since the pop bumpers and sling shots are DC voltage (24v), this is a very fast EM machine, in fact, our fastest one currently.
Game play is simple, you try to build your bonus, mostly by shooting to the top, or hitting the horizontal spinner. You also have to focus on dropping the 4 drop targets, which lights double bonus, if dropped again, play shoots again. This machine is set up on "add-a-ball", which allows you the option to earn one extra ball for each ball played. By getting the maximum bonus points lit, you can also light Special, which allows you to shoot again if ball exits that lane.
Overall a really smooth and fast playing machine after a few weeks of attention spent on this very neglected machine.
