1972 Williams Swinger Pinball Machine (Sold)


This is a 1972 Electromechanical Williams Swinger Pinball machine. This machine was pretty unique to me. It features a "swinging" target in the center of the playfield. The lights in front of the target cycle throughout the game. There are two standup targets to the right and left that will  lock the lights in place and light the "swinger" target. When you hit the moving target you will get the locked value, then the lights will begin to cycle again. There are two ways to save outlane drains. There is a kickback on the left that is lit by a standup target in the upper part of the playfield. There is a gate on the right that is lit by two different lights on the moving target. Without inlanes that feed to the flippers, the game is fast and constant action. The last feature which can save a drain is an "up-post" between the flippers. This is activated by rollover buttons on the playfield. The up and down buttons are easy to hit which causes the post to appear and disappear regularly throughout the game. This is a fun game loaded with features.
