Ripley's Believe It or Not! The playfield clearly states this is a Pat Lawlor pinball machine

Stern seems very proud of their creation. The sticker above is on the upper left of the playfield glass. It does not obstruct the playfield at all

Again, Stern is quite proud of themselves (and should be!). They are now using what used to be the Williams tagline

The front of RBION is very nice.

Above shows the sticker on the apron

RBION is a 4 ball game, as shown by the sticker above. There are many 2-ball modes. There is even an "add-a-ball" that converts 2-ball into 3-ball, or 3-ball into 4-ball.

The shrunken head has no movement, but does speak quite a bit. I find him to be informative and entertaining

Did you know there is about 1/2 mile of wire in a pinball machine?

Here is the tic-tac-toe board. Instead of playing with "X" and "O" pieces, you use jewels that you collect during the game. If you get 3 in a row then you get an award.

Here is the vertical up kicker (VUK) as well as the right ramp and the "R" spinner target.

The spiral wire ramp is way cool. The bottom center of the top picture shows the "Believe It or Not" tunnel entrance. This gives you a "random" award and then shoots the ball back at you. |

The Idol is shown above. It is artwork on the playfield rather than an actual idol. The idol has a magnet that causes the ball to spin around and then fly away. In some modes you need to hit the idol several times

Above is the bottom right side of the playfield. The is a plastic ball ramp and a wire ramp. If the ball stays on the plastic, it falls into a ball lock. Otherwise, it goes across the playfield and eventually rolls down to the left flipper

The temple, on the upper left of the playfield (shown above), contains 3 LED displays. This is used to illuminate lights on the tic-tac-toe board. Notice there are 3 lanes and each lane has a letter. Below the letter a number is displayed on the LED. Together a row and column are selected

Unpacking!
