Googled it. Seems there are more fascinating stuff on this machine..
The Machine (Bride of Pin-Bot)
There is a Champagne glass on the translite.
The birthdays of people and family members associated with the making of the
game show up on the display when the game is slam tilted or power cycled.
These birthdates show up only on the actual birthday.
These are the messsages as they appear on the segment displays. The only way
to make these appear is to slam tilt the game OR enter and then exit test
mode. This isn't the way it was intended to work. When games are hooked up
to a debugger the power up message does not appear so the happy birthday
message would come up on power up. When a game is on a ROM the power up
message comes up and prevents the happy birthday message from happening.
This was never noticed until after production, so it ended up more hidden
than intended.

SUPER SECRET HELLO MESSAGE If you page through all of status report 10
times you will see the following message: "-> HI SCOTT <-" "-> HI STEVE <-"
OLD MCDONALD HAD A FARM
Ball in plunger lane from a ball start (won't work if you land in the lane
while playing)...Hold the right flipper for at least 45 seconds. Hold the
left flipper for at least 45 seconds. Hold BOTH flippers for at least 45
seconds and you will hear a small BEEP sound to show that you did it
correctly. Now, Tap out the song starting with the right flipper. Note:
You must sing along or it will not work!
R - OLD.....L - MAC.....R - DON....L - ALD....R - HAD ...L - A...R -
FARM.....Display will show:
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
L - AND...R - ON ....L - THIS .....R - FARM ....L - HE....R - HAD ...L - A
Display will show (and the cow will moo):
COW. With a MOO MOO here and a MOO MOO there.HERE A MOO THERE A MOO
EVERYWHERE A MOO MOO
Note: The timing between the RLRLRL is sensitive so tap consistantly as you
sing or it will not all come up. You must also start the second verse while
the EEEIIIIEEEIIIOOO is going on or you will not see the second part.
Remember, time your taps as you would if you were singing it. You can do it
as many times as you like by starting from the beginning of the song once it
finishes. Once you shoot the ball into play you can't do it again until the
next ball (must go through full sequence again).
The Bride that is on the side of the cabinet (both sides) has a human head
drawn on the side of her breast plate. I donŽt know who this is supposed to
be.
