I just noticed this Williams Grand Prix playfield posted for sale in the Facebook Marketplace. It immediately struck me as odd for 2 reasons - 1) the tops of the left and right bonus arrows are filled in with white paint versus the normal red. 2) Why is there a star rollover in the drain between the flippers?

Has anyone ever seen this? I checked ipdb for both the normal EM and prototype SS versions and nowhere does anyone have a star rollover between the flippers. Perhaps another prototype playfield? Just weird.

There is a picture of a playfield with the white arrows on ipdb. This machine was in production for a long time and probably had a few changes along the way. As for the star rollover, I do not believe it’s original since Williams did not use star rollovers in any of their 70’s EM’s.

Thanks! So it looks like someone added a star rollover... oddly just above the drain... I wonder how much you score for losing your ball.
