Stewie Pinball has arrived!
Stewie Pinball is a real but scaled down version of a full size machine!
It is the Prominent Playfield toy in the Stern Pinball machine Family Guy.
It resides in the upper right playfield of the machine.
Upon reaching a certain sequence in the game Stewie Pinball becomes active
and you play it the same as the full size machine using the same control buttons.
In of itself it will not function but I just wanted it because of the work and design that was put into it.
As Pat Lawler the designer of the game explained he didnt want to throw a cheap toy minipinball into the machine so he simply had real assemblies scaled down the Coils,Ramps,Flippers etc.
The playfield itself is the same wood as in full scale machines.
I will make a small scale wood cabinet for this small Pinball machine and eliminate its required for the Family Guy machine Plexi box housing.
Then will come the hard part and that is to have someone design both a power source and a control board for it.
It wont be cheap or easy but nothing really cool ever seems to be.
Between this and my Pinball Circus Project I havent had time to restore my prewar Pachinko or other machines.
I link a Youtube vid of the machine in action by a great video maker/reviewer Spida -1 the guy is a natural and his vids are superb.

In the video take note of the stock machines graphics.
My Stewie has different and more Graphics.
These are mods that I already installed into the machine and are not stock.
This will be a long ongoing project but when done it should become the worlds smallest functioning real Pinball machine!
