Pinball Flyer Database

[NYP]

Just to say hello to all of you in this pinball forum I just discovered, and to share my love of pinball flyers. In case you haven't seen it before, I have scanned and uploaded my entire collection of over 2,400 pinball flyers. Some are old and pretty rare and hard to find, and many are from all over the world. Please contact me through the website if you are a collector or have any flyers I might be interested in, thank you!

Awesome resource, thank you for sharing.
Was there an official Pinball Brothers flyer for the LV and ERV PB Alien ? Seems to be a few variations online which may or may not be classed as flyer images.
Also curious if there's a Cirsa/Unidesa PinBot flyer out there ? You have quite the collection of the Spanish manufacturer/assemblers already

Sadly, some manufacturers don't print flyers anymore and only release images for people to self print. I only collect actual paper flyers that the manufacturers have printed. So I can't say for sure if there is an official pinball brothers flyer for any particular game. But there are manufacturers who make a few different versions for their games. I'm pretty sure there is a flyer from Cirsa/Unidesa for PinBot, I just don't have it. Here's what I have from them: https://nypinball.com/category/unidesa-cirsa-stargame/?post_types=flyers

Hey Crewey, I paid dearly for this Unidesa/Cirsa/Stargame Pinbot flyer but glad to add it to the collection, quite rare. If you look closely, the pinbot grid has round inserts and not square, and the dome flasher caps are egg shaped. other than that I can't find any differences. https://nypinball.com/new-flyers/



The IPDB says this about the game:

This is a customized version of Williams' 1986 'PIN·BOT'. Williams supplied some of the Pin-Bot parts in a "kit" form to Unidesa. The documentation in our Files section describes the kits as consisting of "various playfield and electronic parts" and indicates that Unidesa would make their own backglasses. A quantity of 750 kits were ordered by Unidesa, but we do not know if all of them were made into full games. The Williams Daily Production Logs indicate all 750 kits were produced on May 26, 1987 and shipped out that same day.

A couple of differences quickly noticeable to the player are the absence of the mini-post between the flippers, and of anti-return wires on the moulded Vortex (a ball missing the ideal 100,000 hole will run right back over the 20,000 hole and out of the Vortex, into the bumper area).

This Spanish version also has a different backbox insert which folds down rather than being hinged on its left side.

There have been some great new additions to the collection recently and the quality of the images have been improved, hope you notice the difference. Feedback always welcome and of course please let me know if anyone here has any flyers not seen on the database. If you are a collector/seller/trader of pinball flyers, and would like to be added to the registry, just shoot me an email through the website, thanks

Brilliant find @NYP

When I briefly had possession of a Spanish PB the other major difference was the playfield being made of MDF (which had held up pretty well considering it was over 30 years old) and considered a far inferior option. Also the bulb holders were different to Williams were using in this era, the Comet LED kit all had to be swapped from wedge to bayonet or vice versa (it was about 18months ago)
