Information From the Original Dolly Parton Pinball Machine Flyer

Listen while you play!

“Here You Come Again” one of Dolly’s biggest hits plays during the game for entertainment while you play.

Also you can find the extremely popular superstar multi valued in line drop targets.

Some features of this game.

4 skill-shot multi valued superstar in line drop targets 2x , 3x and 5x bonus multiplier provides players with challenging skill shots.

Target spots the top P-A-R-T-O-N letters for points.

Collect bonus ball by opening to a superstar target and 20,000 points.

This pinball has a lot of quick action on the playfield, so I hope your reflexes can match.

It has a separate small LED display for each player that keeps a separate track of basket points from the main score.

The drop targets are difficult to hit because the upper half flippers are smaller and it has a spinner that changes the balls course when you’re unlucky enough to be caught in it’s path.

Notes:

The Early Production cabinet side art in this listing depicts a bouffant-haired Dolly playing a guitar while the rest of the production run cabinets omit this image, making us wonder if this depiction had been rejected by the singer. Indeed, the flyer shows the singer standing next to the machine with a hairstyle more in line with her backglass portrayal than with the bouffant style that was removed from the cabinet. Believing it was Paul Faris who had spoken at that Expo, we asked him to comment for this listing. He replies:
