    Hello. I was hoping someone could tell me which machine this pic comes from. Thanks in advance.

    I believe what you see here is not a real machine. Some places will do a photo shop creation for advertising and eliminate any copyright infringement possibilities.

    As I really stare at the pic I can see the "10-25-50" rubber goes towards the upper post to nowhere.
    The pop covers look like a Bally design (Time Zone) but can't find anything in that era with the beach scene and pops in that configuration.
    The art of the females doesn't match with the art of the floaty of beach ball and dinosaur floaty.
    Conclusion: And I could be wrong, this is a pic for advertising and not a real production pinball machine.

    I agree with @Grizlyrig. Side rubbers should always score powers of 10 (1, 10, 100, 1000, etc.). Scoring 25 on an EM is a major feat of engineering.

    It could be the work of Charles Bell. Try this google search
    "Charles Bell" pinball
    to see who he is.

    I'll ask Erik at Titletown to check in with where he got the pic.

    It's a photo realistic painting by artist Charles Bell. I searched for a pinball named Miami Beach but the ones on IPDB do not match this picture. I'd assume it's fictitious.

    Quoted from Grizlyrig:

    Actually it goes to another post just below and would work in the real world.
