I was stuck in sharpsville pa all week for work,at night we holed up in a radison hotel just outside of town.I found the little game room there with 2 pins and 3 vids.The pins were Junkyard and Party zone.I didn't enjoy party zone at all,but enjoyed the living shit out of junkyard.It was 50 cents a play but set for 5 balls and must have been set to be very generous as i was awarded alot of free balls.Anyways,i loved the wrecking ball and it seemed to have a magnet to bring it back to center,a small metal circle in the center of a white star.I didn't think anything of it until i got home and looked it up on ipdb,the site claims the magnet was only used on the proto playfields,the pics of production playfields just had the white star.If i was aware of this while there i would have gotten more nosey and got the serial number and such off of it.
What are the chances of a prototype machine being out on location? I always thought the designers and such held onto these or they just disappeared .
I really enjoyed the game and maybe at tax time(my xmas)i will try and hunt one down.
 
That's pretty cool - but from what I've read...even though the protos have the magnet, there's no software support for it....so - it doesn't actually do anything.
