    Any idea how many side door opening were actually produced? I’ve only seen a few and never thought to ask if that was a rare thing on this pin.

    I have one now that I just put an NOS playfield in and actually over years I have had more of the swinging head style than the normal ones.

    Never even knew an Evel with hinged door existed.... mine has normal lift out glass from the front.

    Now you have me thinking, my Night Rider is the only Bally I have that has a hinged backbox door....(It's a SS) are all Night Riders hinged?

    I actually don't like the hinged door..... never thought about it much until reading this post.

    I assume this hinged door was a deal during the EM to SS transition on Night Rider/EK/Mata Hari?

    Are there any Mata Hari's with hinged doors?

    Thank you for the quick replies. I just checked with several friends who have EK and none had the hinge door. I like it for ease of getting in the back box, but never had really thought much about it. I have a CPR playfield that I was tempted to put in this, but the original is still very good. Just debating to fully restore this or not. I like the character it has-the sides and feint look played with. I’m thinking if I make this pristine it might actually take away from it all..

    Here in western Washington state, I see lots of the swing open Evel Kneivel machines.

    I have an EK now that I just put an NOS playfield in and it has the swing open door.
