There is either one ball or no ball. ;-D

I assure you, the machinery of a pinball machine is purely digital. There are absolutely no devices that react to a variable-weighted stimulus nor are there variable actuators. These are purely electro-mechanical digital machines.

The world of telephone switching was also a primary contributor to the evolution of digital logic.

I assure you that you are responding to an argument no one is making.

[GingisK]

I am not arguing. I am discussing stuff, bring new information to the table.

That’s exactly right. We knew that machine (and a few others) like the backs of our hands. As long as you could get the slightest tip of the flipper on the ball you could save it. Good cheap fun.
