Quoted from lyonsden:

In a pin (scattered in the cab and coin box). Didn't know that WULFF was a slot machine. They have/had slots in Germany? WULFF looks like an electronics entertainment company there: https://www.ballywulff.de/ If I recall, I got these from a Baywatch reimport, so something from the mid '90s.

Bally-Wulff is a totally different company. And is not related to Bally(pinball) wich I never understood because they share kind of the same logo. But different story...
Here is a game I used to own.
Seems like your tokens are related to any Fun-Amusement game(wich my game wasn't)

Greetings from Germany

Quoted from Stebel:

I was told this was an Austin Powers prototype field. Looks like it was abandoned half way through.
Could have had a lower playfield…
[quoted image][quoted image]

Well the playfield is definitely a Frankenstein Whitewood. I don't know what the mini playfield was supposed to be. I don't see any similarities with any production game. But Frankenstein was developed in 1994 so I highly doubt it has anything to do with Austin Powers developed in late2000 early2001.

But interesting for sure.

Quoted from yellowghost:

Are not all baywatches narrowbody?

At least someone got that right

Quoted from Stebel:

Story goes - they built a complete narrow and wide body version of the game to test. Played them both extensively and then decided on the wide body.

Seems like there is some confusion here...

Baywatch has a "standard" size playfield and cabinet just like any other game at the time.
BUT with a trick the designer managed to get a slightly wider play area while maintaining the same playfield size. They just removed those 1/2-inch wood rails which were typically mounted on the edges and replaced them with some thin metal rails.
Sega actually showcased this as a feature on the front page of the game flyer.
"NEW WRAP AROUND SIDE RAILS! Baywatch delivers wider and deeper shots without expanding the size of the cabinet."

It would be nice to get some detailed information of the games development. I don't know if any of the designers Joe Kaminkow or Joe Balcer are here on Pinside. But maybe the Software engineer Orin Day lobster does remember something?
