I probably need to talk to Clay. That is something I have known through some details of hardware and discussions with Steve K. and Duncan Brown. It could of come from me. yes I believe the narrow body game was the first design. Was not called Gamatron from my knowledge though.

Here is 2 NOS gamatron fields and the original first test print field from the initial test run....Yea more gamatron stuff....Yea also pictured is a NOS rolling stones (New from crate) and a NOS Frontier. Not as rare as gamatron but rare.

I have enough stuff to make 2 more gamatrons with a NOS field, NOS plastics, NOS backglass and black star cabinet and 1 more with the test print playfield. Would love to have all 4 at the Texas Pinball festival sometime. Just need more time.

I have a NOS blank and a Wired NOS laser ball field. The wired is pretty frickin' cool. In the original Williams crate. Just have not had time to get the game running. Some dished inserts. What really needs to happen is the blank gets cleared and the stuff on the wired goes to the blank.

Gamatron ended up being a conversion kit in 1985 built by a company called "Pinstar" using a "Steve Kirk" design. Flight 2k came out in 1980 but if you look close at the whitewood it is obviously 1979 so my belief and I have some verbal and physical evidence is that "gamatron" the layout was actually the original layout Flight 2K was based on and the design ended up with Harry Williams name on it which today is known as Flight 2K. Gamatron has a true "Ball Walker"... Gamatron is a fun game and I am fortunate to have gotten the stuff when Steve Kirk had passed and they sold his storage unit. Friend of a friend is how I got it.

To show off the work of Steve Kirk and take the games to the shows. The parts I have give great reference to the kit and its different forms and history in pinball. So why not.?

Here's a Stone's field that is somewhat rare.

Are the control lamps working correctly., Something seems wrong in the video. ?

I think that is like alot of the Bally fields I have put in games. That was pulled from the line for something wrong and never finished the mfg. process. Both my Seawitch, Frontier and Stones were like that. My Frontier had the flipper holes slightly north and I was able to fix and make no difference. My stones had a few extra holes I had to fill in when I cleared it and fixed. Seawitch was registration which I fixed before I cleared it.

There is something up with this for sure but still a fantastic piece and would be great in a game. That is probably when you will find out what it is.....During install. I would compare it to one in a game if you ever use it before installing and possibly clearing.

Now before I install any NOS field I carefully check against the stock one in the game, find those issues and fix before I clear and install.

Any red paint on the side. My stones had a little red spray on one of the edges.

I was able to get this Andromeda Whitewood back after about 21 years moving around the DFW area between 3 owners. I actually know the person who retrieved this from Game Plan. My previous business partner retrieved this from GP during liquidation. I also have the Gamatron Whitewood so I have 2 of these classics. I do have the 2nd test print field when Gamatron was being printed too. Plus some blanks
