One of the Midway engineers must have been a "The Who" fan.

I was inspecing a pile of boards I scrapped out of the soggy remains of an Arctic Thunder and saw a board called the "Substitute Magicbus." Anybody picking it up yet? Well, in case you didnt get the Who reference, he screen printed the lyrics on the board for you.

Is there a collection of all these printings on pcbs? I remember seeing a lot of them from Atari boards posted somewhere before.

I dont know if it was that they were fans of the Who so much as fans of the "herb" if you get my drift.

In the 90's, Williams had a patent on the way the flippers worked in the pinball machines they built.

So Data East, not to be outdone, came up with a kick-ass way to design the flippers themselves.... when they put the board in the cabinet, the part # had TY-FFASI silkscreened above it.

Williams was suing Data East about the flipper design, and the part # designation stood for

"Take you fucking flippers and stick it"

Thats great! I thought you could only find hidden stuff like that in the games themselves
