    This is basically one way of how to build a new (sort of) EM, pinball machine or other, do it yourself with spare used parts from cannibalized machines.

    You could also do the opposite of what others have done to EM's, take an SS game and turn it into a EM. Revenge!!

    The easiest to transform would be the early SS pins that they never made an EM version of, but should have. They are basically just EM's with SS running gear anyway. Unfortunately with licensing issues, these could never be mass produced as the price tag would be too high, but you could avoid all that and just do it yourself with a one off. Anyone can do it! Just like it's probably just a blown fuse, only now it's just figuring out the logic! Easy!

    Some cool examples:

    1979 Gottlieb Pinball Pool
    1979 Gottlieb Totem
    1981 Gottlieb Black Hole
    1982 Gottlieb Haunted House, an EM with 3 playfields, now how cool is that!

    1980 Bally Nitro Ground Shaker
