发明名称 Method for modifying electronics contained in a controller box of a pinball machine
摘要 A pinball machine has been designed with several novel mechanical and electrical features such that it is easily retrofittable or convertible between a first pinball game and a second pinball game. The pinball machine includes a cabinet, a playfield mounted to the cabinet, and a backbox extending upwardly from a rear portion of the cabinet. To facilitate modification of electronics controlling the operation of the pinball machine, a controller box assembly is installed in the backbox. The controller box assembly comprises a rail structure mounted within the backbox and a controller box movably mounted relative to the rail structure to open and close the controller box. The controller box containing the electronics may be pivoted downwardly while remaining in engagement with the rail structure to provide easy access into the controller box. To limit the movement of the controller box during shipping, a locking mechanism mounted to the backbox includes a locking arm rotatable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking arm maintains the controller box in the closed position when the locking arm is disposed in the locked position.
