    I was watching 'Next' last night, Nicolas Cage, Julianne Moore etc, and 16 minutes in, I spotted a nice old flipperless woodie called 'Rocket' (1947 Bally) in the background when Nic is playing pool with his dad. (Peter Falk)

    I just looked at the list you linked to jimjim and it's actually noted, but the author had no idea what pin it is. He didn't look very hard did he.

    There are plenty of movies where you can spot a pin. Tilt (1979) and Tommy (1975) are the obvious ones of course...

    I watched The Wraith (1986) last night on TV and noticed a pin in the gangs chop shop. The Wraith came in with a shotgun and blasted everything, including the pin! Sacrilege! The backglass shattered then the pin collapsed in a heap.
    I paused it and studied it. Not real clear but I thought it was a "guard" pin of some sort, so I checked IPDB and sure enough, it was either an "Elite Guard", "Royal Guard" or "Palace Guard" (1968 Gottlieb) that was destroyed.

    I was flicking through the channels on Sunday night and landed on "Over The Top" an old Stallone movie from '87. I happened to catch the scene where his kid arm-wrestled another kid on a pinball machine.
    It was obviously 'High Hand' (1973 Gottlieb) but the back glass had been modified, as in painted a bit so you couldn't see the name. Strange
