STEVE RITCHIE’S AUTOGRAPHED PINBALL MEMORABILIA FOR SALE
June 19 2009
Just got back from the Northwest Pinball and Gameroom Show in
Seattle. It was a great, fun, show. They had tons of pins and a
separate hall full of vintage videos. The people are cool and Pinball
is King in Seattle. The show was very well organized, and there was
new excitement every minute. It was one of the best if not THE BEST
show I have ever been to.
I really enjoyed hanging with everybody and playing as much as I
could. There were lots of games, in fact the hall was packed wall to
wall with tons of beautiful pinball machines.
The tournament was very well-attended, and a lot of my pin player
friends showed up to do damage. I had to leave before the tournament
was over.
I got to meet NBA great Todd McCullough, and found out what a great
guy he is. We talked for quite awhile. He is a bright guy, a
dedicated pinhead and now, my friend.
NOW THEN:
NEW STUFF. Along with my rare and cool pinball memorabilia, I now
offer new products, including:
******************************************************************************** ***************************************************
DUAL-AUTOGRAPHED NOS ST:TNG TRANSLITES! Get them while I have them!
Artist and friend Greg Freres and I signed them, and they are
beautiful and MINT! See below!
******************************************************************************** ***************************************************
11” X 17” COLOR PRINTS of my Stern game design drawings on heavy
stock, suitable for framing, autographed in gold ink. I sold more of
these than anything else at the show. These are the exact game design
drawings that T3, Elvis, World Poker Tour, Spider-Man, 24, and Avatar
(?) were manufactured from. Every layer has a nice color and the
results are stunning and technically appealing. Reasonably priced.
Read more below.
******************************************************************************** ***************************************************
DENNIS NORDMAN AUTOGRAPHED PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN FLYERS. Can’t get
to a show to meet the tallest game designer? Dennis is big & scary,
but he signed these for me, and I have his permission to offer them
here. Read more about them below.
******************************************************************************** ***************************************************
DENNIS NORDMAN AUTOGRAPHED WHEEL OF FORTUNE FLYERS. Yup, the big guy
again. If you have a WOF, this would look great in a frame next to it…

MINIATURE LASER-CUT PLAYFIELDS that will knock your socks off. I am
offering Spider-Man and T3 in ¼” thick Fluorescent Blue Lucite, and
they are incredibly detailed as a “player’s view”, (that means you
don’t see the components on the bottom of the playfield). These
things came out awesome and I autograph every one in a special box
that I designed into the display. Huge story below, ask for
pictures!!
******************************************************************************** ***************************************************
LASER CUT SPIDER-MAN WEBBIES IN COLORED LUCITE. I have sets of three
webs that replace the clear PETG parts on SM and BSM. The Sandman
Webbie is yellow transparent and the Doc Ock and Shooter Lane webs

makes a little easier for us to stage the stuff for shipping. Thanks

the check clears, I ship. I have no unhappy customers and no

the back side.

and have been kept out of the light of day their entire lifetime.

together or risking any other kind of damage to them, I want everyone
to be happy with them. I won’t stack and roll them in multiples.
The plastic cover sheet is still stuck down firmly on all of them
except where we have lifted it to sign them. The lifted plastic area
has been carefully re-pressed a bit to make it re-stick to the
surface.
These will be handled on a first-come first-served basis and I will

MINIATURE LASER-CUT LUCITE SPIDER-MAN AND T3 PLAYFIELDS !! These are
stunning. I am offering Spider-Man and T3 in ¼” thick Fluorescent
Blue Lucite, and they are incredibly detailed as a “player’s view”.
PV means that you don’t see the components on the bottom of the
playfield or hidden lines. You see what a person sees when viewing
the actual playfield from the top down.
Each playfield is 10.5 inches high by 4.5 inches wide, and the stand
components are about 4 inches by 1.5 and incorporate a “swoopy” design
that compliments the mini playfield. All my components are cut from ¼
inch thick high quality Lucite.
Using CNC Laser cutting technology, every detail of my player’s view
Spider-Man and T3 CAD designs are faithfully recreated in the Lucite.
Fluorescent colors really “light up” using ambient light to brightly
contrast etching and through-holes and all edges brilliantly.
The playfields are transparent and are a combination of Laser Cut and
Laser Etched methods of “machining” the Lucite. All the inserts (the
arrows, plastic circles, and rectangles inlaid in a real pinball
playfield) are through-cut, and the laser naturally FLAME POLISHES the
inner walls of these holes, and the outer edges of the playfields.
Laser etching carves lines into the top surface, so details like
individual screw heads and even Doc Ock’s arms are visible in great
detail.
The mini-playfields include the game title and my SRP logo etched into
the lower arch area. I have also designed in a signature window where
I can autograph each piece.
The mini playfields also come with two Lucite slide-on stand
components that allow them to be displayed on a desk or a table and
the details can be enjoyed at a comfortable 10 degree viewing angle.
I plan on producing all my game designs in Lucite, and may try other
sizes as well. The present run is produced in Transparent Fluorescent
Blue, but I may try other colors, and maybe clear. I also have Spider-
Man playfields in Fluorescent Red and Fluorescent Orange in stock for
immediate shipping. All others are about 1 week away.
Each Laser Cut Mini Playfield will be carefully padded, packed, and
shipped in a sturdy container.
I offer these at an introductory price of $75 including free shipping
in continental US. This is a limited introductory offer. I want to
know what colors are the most popular, and hear your suggestions.
Please let me know the Game Title and Color you desire, as well as
your name and address.

Menus, 2 page spread, $50 + $8 SH each. I went to an Italian game

restaurant was guess what? FLASH! They created a restaurant around
the Flash pinball theme!! It was painted with lots of red, yellow and
black inside and out. I ordered a delicious pizza and explained that
I designed the game, and they were embarrassed and fearful, but I told
them to relax, Williams had no intention of suing them. The meal was

I have found 8 more Rare Mother’s Pinball test reports, 6 from
1978-79, 2 from 1980 good condition, $40 + $6 SH Lists the top 16-20
pinballs in order of earnings. A rare piece of pinball history, these
sheets represent Mother’s Pinball in Mount Prospect, IL. Mother’s was
a player’s pin location, and all the pinball companies tested there
against every other company’s games. It was exciting to watch people
play there, and designers, programmers, and even Presidents from
Williams, Gottlieb, Bally and Stern would meet there to talk and check
out the competition’s new products.
The environment was friendly and Bill Herman, the owner, was great to
all of us. As soon as any of walked in, he would hand us a double
handful of red quarters to play all the latest games. The red quarter
system was great, because we could play anything we wanted as much as
we wanted and it wouldn’t distort the earnings report because they
weren’t counted in the cash box. I had up to 4 games in the top 20 at
one time. Longevity was also a major consideration. Pinball wouldn’t
be in trouble if they still earned like they did in those days.
LASER CUT SPIDER-MAN WEBBIES IN RED AND YELLOW LUCITE.
Dress up that drab Spider-Man or BSM with these hot new Lucite webs to
replace your boring clear ones.
The set of three includes a yellow one for the Sandman Web Slinger, a
red one for the Doc Ock Web Slinger, and a red replacement for the
clear web in the ball shooter lane.
The Webbies are Laser Cut and all the edges are brilliantly flame
polished. The pattern is beautiful and plays up attraction in the
ambient light on any SM or BSM playfield.
This is a limited introductory offer and I will sell sets of 3 for $35
and free shipping in CONUS. I want to hear what you think about
them.
Be careful not to over tighten the hardware while assembling them onto
your game. #5 hardware is recommended for attachment.
1 Excellent condition engineering blueprint of Airborne Avenger
