I am gonna guess Meteor, at over 10,000 units produced.
Am I right? What other pin has numbers like this?

Thank god for the IPDB. It's a great resource to answer questions like these, and I give them credit for reigniting my pinball addiction (browsing pics many years ago lit the fire).
August, 1993 - Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure SS 12,716 units
Where the f&*k are all of them! I've been looking for 1.5 years now, and I know others are as well.
I could probably pick up any off the above list tomorrow. IJ? That's like trying to find the Ark in a warehouse full of the same wooden crates!
I used ball berings and followed them 4 hours north onto a ferry and out onto an island.
It is minty though =-) At the time I overpayed its value .
Very happy and lucky to find that one.
In my area I have only seen like 3 of them in the last 4 years.
It is like most the rest of my pins though once I find a beautiful copy they are here to stay!
Quoted from docscott:Boy, we'll never see those sort of production numbers again.
You got that right ! We don't even see 5000 games a year .

Quoted from RGR:So what will WOZ top out at????
I think Jack would be thrilled if they were able to make 5k units of WoZ. I'd be shocked if it made it into the Top 10.
And all of them are chump change compared to the first commercial pin machine.
Bally-Hoo of 1932 is estimated to have been 75,000 units.

It appears that Bally & Williams dominate in the high production numbers category.
I looked in Mr Pinball Pinball List & Price Guide to check which Gottlieb machines had high production numbers. All mid-late 70's, mostly around the time of e-m to ss conversion.
* Royal Flush, 1976, 12250 % See below also %
* Sinbad, 1978, 11000 + 950 e-m's = 11950 {+ a few more}
* Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind, 1978, 9950 + 470 e-m's = 10420
* Joker Poker, 1978, 9280 + 820 e-m's = 10100
* Count-Down, 1979, 9899
Gottlieb production numbers seemed to ramp up around early/mid 70's.
Several GTB e-m's had a combo of similar 4-player / 2-player models that combined for fairly high production numbers, such as:
* 1973 Jack in the Box & Jumping Jack, 8300 + 4975 = 13275
* 1973/1974 Hot Shot & Big Shot, 9000 + ?? = 12000+ ??
* 1974 Big Indian & Big Brave, 8030 + 3450 = 11480
* 1975 "300" & Top Score, 7925 + 3200 = 11125
* 1975 Fast Draw & Quick Draw, 8045 + 2660 = 10705
* 1975 Super Soccer & Soccer, 7130 + 2900 = 10030
* 1976 Spirit of 76 & Pioneer & New York, 10300 + 3625 + 300 = 14225 **
* 1976 Royal Flush & Card Whiz, 12250 + 3250 = 15500 %%
* 1977 Bronco & Mustang, 9160 + 2225 = 11385
Looks like Gottlieb was cranking 'em out in the 70's!!
Quoted from RGR:So what will WOZ top out at????
I think I remember something saying JJP was shooting for a total production run of 10,000 units. I could be mistaken but I remember reading that somewhere.
Don't forget the grand daddy of them all
Ballyhoo : Bally Manufacturing Corporation 1932
75000, units
I have read in some books that the production was even higher.

+1 Should be added to the list.
LIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Starting to believe we have another Grassy Knoll or Moon conspiracy going on here!
Friends...who will be the first to step forward, here publically, standing tall and convince this public forum that Lethal Weapon 3 is not the most in demand pin and also had the highest production count? For those feeling all so bold...remember, this was the game of choice for...well...let's just say not so favorite members of society! These out-of-favor clubs/clicks ordered these boxes in droves due to it's gameplay popularity!!!!!!!!!!!! Lethal weapon 3 was a HIDDEN SUCCESS AND UNDERGROUND LEGEND/HIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please...please...let us be realistic in how we rate games and how we interpret production numbers! LW3 surely holds the unofficial record in both categories and is due it's respect from this forum and all of it's members!!!!

Quoted from tlantos:From where these stupid quantities came from?
Like 17080 of HS (I have one of them
They promoted a new machine, collected orders, produced over a few months, and over?
yes.
