  OK thanks Tom! Finally home after a long day .... Clue is Kismet, Williams, 1961. This one is a little different than the IPDB (green post instead of yellow, PF in better shape). https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=1385

  What’s the oldest pinball you enjoy? Post #5 in topic

  Posted 15 months ago by DCP – in All Pinball ‐ Last reply 14 months ago

  Really enjoyed #Kismet when it was at Lyons Classic Pinball. Really fun and challenging for a 1961 stubby flipper game. It was designed by Steve Kordek, who deeply understood how pinball is supposed to work. I also like Gottlieb #Seven-Seas from 1960. A very snappy, fast-playing woodrail with a good layout and artwork (but watch out for the gobble holes!).

  [att=6800654,2776213 caption=""] Someone was kind enough to rescue this slightly damaged vintage poster by framing it, and then at some point donating it to a thrift store in Green Bay for me to find on one of my infrequent forays into Titletown. Funny, too, how it had been there a while, but for me it was an insta-buy! Kismet?

  Who Designed Aztec? Post #16 in topic

  Posted over 8 years ago by o-din – in Bally/Williams ‐ Last reply over 8 years ago

  Keep in mind, just cause a game looks like a game don't mean any particular designer had anything to do with it. No doubt about that. Compare the layout of Magic Clock designed by Harry Mabs in 1960 to Kismet designed by Steve Kordek in 1961. I think they all worked together and shared ideas back in the day and if a layout was good, no reason it couldn't be re used or re purposed.

  I played 3 coins when it was new in a local amusement park arcade in 1962. Compared to others games in the arcade (picnic, Williams reserve, kismet, freedom 7, big casino, and others), three coins always took my nickels and dimes much faster than the others. It was a pretty tough playing game to me.

  Can you name this game? Post #7 in topic

  Posted over 9 years ago by wtatumjr – in EM Pinball Hangout ‐ Last reply over 9 years ago

  Thanks for the guesses. Kismet is pretty close - same style of game. But think of a scoring wheel mounted low under the playfield so you only saw one or so numbers. You could advance the reel by hitting a target and then every time you hit a pop it would register those points. I think the scale went from 5 to 50 points. I remember this because the coil advancing the reel went bad so I replaced with the extra game kicker coil.
