Fun With Pinball

Pinball Parts Catalogs

Instruction cards for most of the pieces of the Fun With Pinball exhibit feature technical drawings from parts catalogs from various pinball manufacturers. Parts catalogs are an excellent resource for understanding the history, construction and design of individual parts and assemblies.
