Amazing video by @TechConnectify@mas.to as usual, pinball machines are quite the curiousity.
The mechanisms that move the ball itself (bumpers and kickers) are probably much the same as in a modern computerized unit, but the electro-mechanic logic (like the spinning motor that counts to five) is very fascinating.
I’m looking forward to the next part. I might think triggering the 10k solenoid twice and the 1k solenoid 5 times would be more succinct, but maybe it has to do with activating one score coil at a time: that could be why instead it opts to count to 5, 5 times.

Got a friend who fixes pinball machines as his main income and sitting as he explains to me the way old Electromechanicals work is a LOT to take in.
