Item description
I have updated the information in this ad based on additional information provided by HEP.
This Ultimate Golf Ball Frenzy was produced by Chris Hutchins (HEP). There was between 4-6 of these re-themed machines made it total. Of those, one was given to the OCC team on an episode of American Choppers. Another was auctioned off by the EDS for charity on eBay. At least one other is owned by a pinsider, the others are unknown to me at this time. The machine I am selling today was the one owned by the Orange County Choppers team.
The Orange County Choppers pinball is actually a modification of a modification. Mega Golf Ball Frenzy was a modification of Williams’ 1997 ‘No Good Gofers’. The OCC pinball is a modification of Mega Golf Ball Frenzy by EDS called Ultimate Golf Ball Frenzy, replacing the gophers from Mega Golf Ball Frenzy with Gopher caricatures of the OCC team and then brought to life by High End Pins.

Since the game was restored, it spend most of its life in the shop of Orange County Choppers. When I purchased the machine, it was in excellent condition with 2 exceptions: the MPU would not boot (so that game was not playable) and the chrome trim and legs had some surface corrosion on them. The good news is that since the pin was not playable, the clear coated playfield still looked amazing.
I polished the existing side rails and hinges on the machine back to a shine. The Lockdown bar and legs were replaced. I also replaced the MPU with a new one (the original non-working board is included with the sale if wanted). After the game was playable I disassembled the playfield, cleaned it and reassembled with upgraded Titan rubbers and LEDs. It has been played a few dozen times since then.
Included with the sale is also several extras:
Original custom manual and instructions set
Original non-working MPU
Orange County Choppers 3 PEZ dispensers signed by the 3 family members. (used as the topper but not attached)
Several extra sets of the custom plastics used in this game
2 extra translites: 1 signed by the OCC family and 1 with no signatures
PM me if you need any other pictures or have any questions.
May be interested in trading for other pinball machines + cash, let me know what you have. I am willing to ship the machine but due to the rarity of this pin I would prefer local pickup. You can come pick it up yourself and play a few other machines while you are here. Machine is in Bakersfield, California.
