Anyone know what machine these are from?

I'll take a wild ass guess and say Demolition Man.

They sit above the bumper rubbers....beside the flippers...

Many thanks for that, don't ever remember seeing a 'Demolition Man' table let alone work on one so not sure why I have it, next stop eBay.

wow. never thought i'd see this here! how many other folks around here into pins? I've got a bunch of late 60's - 70's waiting for my love. but the damn hondas have takin all the time and money!
this might jog some memories but i still have.... Spacelab (not the "one", but identical to the one used in the cafe of Happy Days), Pioneer '76, Hayburners 2, Aztec, Chicago's Coin Cinema, Nine Ball, and i think the last one is Dance Party or something like it... Anyone else still into the old ones? im gonna need some help once i finally get into one!

Hi gang.I have a 1970's Gottlieb Challenger head to head game.It is a great rec room toy as 2 people play at same time and table tilts back and forth depending on who is scoring and who is defending.It is one of 110 built so may even be collectable.   Rock On

[Really?]

Mata Hari back in what, early 70's?

Loved the fact we could kick the coin slot and hear the games pop.  Oh and tottaly miss the 3 games for a quarter.

I loved playing "Flash" , i think it was a Williams machine in the late 70's.

I'm no pinball expert, but that was easy to know Demolition Man.  By the way, there should be a 3rd sea shell for the set.

williams"hot line",we used to play one at lunch time when i was an apprentice and we had to go to the city of melbourne for fitting/turning education,there must have been something wrong with it as we got free games piling up and had to walk away from them to go back to work for two weeks.,has anyone got a copy of the 1998 microsoft "pinball arcade?"

.....,has anyone got a copy of the 1998 microsoft "pinball arcade?"

Of course.....

..... and the playroom doesn't hold them all, but I've sort of managed to put together a similar 'pinball through the decades' experience....

Spry-Ball - a 1933 marble game. 10 balls for 1d. English, but most Commonwealth pennies work.

World Series 1943 - a 1941 game with a wartime 'conversion kit'.

Jig Saw - a Williams relic from 1957. (if I had to pick just one...)

Skill Pool, Soccer, 8-Ball, and Hot Line - Williams '60s relics.

Star Pool, Top Speed, Hot Hand - '70s toys from Williams, Recel, Stern. Super Flipper - sorry, not a pinball.

Laser Cue, Big Bat - welcome to the '80s.

Cue Ball Wizard - msarcade is but a shadow of the real thing.

   I was a pinball junkie all through the 70's and well into the 80's. There were plenty of great games but Firepower became my all time favorite. I still play but only occasionally. My eyes still light up whenever I come across a Firepower machine...at that point I become lost to whoever I'm with.

I liked Twilight Zone and Addams Family that was about it. Too many bad memories of working on them.

Try this site,  http://www.pinmame.com/  you could probably revisit your youth.

Since I happen to be over my moms ( I have no room for these  ) I thought I'd share some pics of the "pin room"
