What really is considered a wedgehead? From what I can gather is they are older pinballs.
The shape of the head is the shape of a wedge. Only single players from the 1960's to late 70's. Gottlieb and Chicago Coin had a few. Williams had inverted wedge heads.

When you come down to it, they're both wedgeheads. Which one is reverse or inverted? Who's to say?
Quoted from JethroP:They call them wedgeheads because they are square shaped (not).[quoted image]
That's a wing nut!
