Recreation FP Planet pinball: Real and FP version v1.0

[patrick]

I found that toy in a store of wooden toys. The interest was not for the playfield but to see how a plunger and a flipper may be made entirely with wood.

Here the box, the machine on my Far out and the FP version.

You can used to be able to see it at www.pintoys.com

Pinball Planet (Pintoys of Thailand, c.2000) v1.0 I found this toy in an all-wood toy store. The interest was not in the playfield, but to see how a plunger and a flipper may be made entirely with wood. Here's the box, the machine on my Far Out...

Machine parts

Not less interresting is to see the parts of the machine: cabinet, playfield, flipper and plunger.

playfields

Also interresting may be to make differents playfields for that game.

Here a template made with paper on the real machine and 2 others templates at left and right.

Here from right to left a piece of wood sized to make a new playfield, the first playfield, the machine with an empty playfield ready to make a new bagatelle game and the machine with an empty playfield ready to make a new flippered game.

But before, the new playfield is to make , using a paper template on the piece of wood.

And then a Ballyhoo before painting.

real version

That is really sweet. Is that a European product? Do you know if that is available in the USA. I really like the BallyHoo conversion. It's like a real life flipperless simulator. I'd like to get one just to get me off the computer. A real life pinball project. Sweet. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I notice this got lost here, so I've re-uploaded it.

I also checked the maker's site and Amazon out of curiosity, and it doesn't look like the game is made any longer. One of the ads said something about it being able to keep score, and I'm kind of curious how that worked on this mechanical game.

Btw, while I was searching, I discovered an interesting wooden pitch-n-bat by a company called "Hey! Play!" I had no idea things like this were being made these days!
