I've seen neat practical tricks in pinball over the years, but I swear nothing has ever topped my reaction to Bram Stoker's Dracula and its Mist multiball start. When started, the game will float a ball across the playfield like magic, while you have another ball in play. If you manage to knock the floating ball off whatever magical force causes it to move, you'll get them both in play. Miss, and it's gone!

As you probably have guessed by now, it's magnets. There's a huge self-reversing screw across the playfield, on which a carriage with an electromagnet moves back and forth. On top of the playfield there's gates on each end, so if the ball is not hit, the gate is closed behind, locking the ball until the next attempt.

As you can see in the video, this mechanism takes a huge chunk of the playfield's underside and basically the game's wiring look detours around this thing.

“But 2,000 years underwater didn’t do the #Antikythera mechanism many favors. Seawater rich with salts and other chemical compounds reacted with the high amount of copper in the bronze mechanism, slowly corroding it and replacing it with a green-hued rock known as #atacamite.”

I'm always get giddy when I discover pinball designers have reused a common mech in an unexpected way. Flipper mechs are one such thing that just keeps on popping up in the weirdest places.

Here's Homer from The Simpsons Pinball Party (Stern 2003). He can turn his head right for extended periods and then return to the center. Under the playfield we'll find a stripped flipper mech, the kind we could find in upper or mini-playfield flippers.

This design probably saved them reinventing the wheel and with PWM-controlled flipper coil they can have Homer turn his head to the side for as long as they like. And since it moves so rarely, it'll probably last decades in normal use.

Up to late 80s various coin operated devices had separate mechanical rejector for each type of coin accepted. This was often not optimal, the customer wanted the conveniency of paying with what they had and in some places, like border towns the neighbouring country's currency was also taken.

Enter the electronic rejectors. Now a single device can recognise various coin types and let the connected game or vending machine know what coin was exactly inserted. The pricing could be as complex with discounts as the coin operated device's software could do.

The electronic rejectors could be easily configured via computer to accept new currencies or updated versions of the local coins. Your arcade had custom tokens? No problem.

The rejector scans the coin for things like dimensions, metal composition, surface embossing, holes and will reject the foreign coins that were close enough to local ones to fool a mechanical rejector.

Until the 90s, between you inserting a coin and starting a game stood a mysterious mechanical device. Like magic, it would take in a coin, shuffle it around and decipher if you were trying to pass a washer as a coin or if it was the real deal!

Mechanical coin rejectors also caused the now completely forgotten limitation of each coin type having their own slot. Since one rejector could be tuned only for a single coin type, you'd need a whole coin chute - rejector - reject/accept -chute combo for each coin type the machine accepted.

The rejector weights the coin, runs it past a magnet in a track where too small coins would fall through, too large ones would get stuck and only the right size coins, made of right metal would move the exact right speed, so they'd be slowed down to drop into the accepted chute instead of being rejected.

Bonus points if you can name the currency shown in this video!
