ABSTRACT:
A unit for converting a keypad operated electronic pinball game to a mechanically operated pinball machine includes a housing configured and dimensioned to enclose a keypad. The keypad has keys specific to functions of starting and stopping an electronic pinball game kicking a “ball”, flipping the ball and tilting the machine to end a turn. Mechanisms are provided adapted to engage individual of the keys, and knobs extending out of the housing and connected to the mechanisms, permit the keys to be operated by manipulation of the knobs. Preferably the housing includes a base extending beneath the keypad and a cover portion hingedly mounted to the base, but constructed to permit sliding movement of the cover with respect to the base. A wedge mounted in the cover portion is adapted to engage the spacer bar of the keypad when the housing is moved forward with respect to the base, which serves to actuate the tilt function.
