That tear-inducing picture from the Williams plant

Last year at Expo a few people had collared me and asked how they could
get copies of a picture I took, that had appeared in the Pingame
Journal. It's the one of Steve Kordek standing with the very last game
down the assembly line at the Williams plant in November 1999. I told
them I had to get Steve's permission before I would go around handing
out pictures of him. I since talked to him and he's fine with it.

So here it is, with a caveat: Anyone is free to download this picture
and use it however they want for their personal use. Computer desktop,
print out a poster to hang on the wall, whatever you want to do with it.
I am including the 60GB Tiff original, so there should be about no limit
to what size you can print it, by resizing it. But there will be *no*
selling of this picture in any way shape or form, period. I don't care
what rationalization you come up with, just *don't*. I don't want to
see clocks with this picture on eBay, I don't want to see posters for
sale at an Expo booth, nothing. It is free of charge to everyone, you
simply need to print it out, or take the Tiff file to a place that can
print it out in the size you want. Horrific pinball-karma badness will
befall anyone who doesn't heed this stipulation.

Here's the picture:

And here is a 45MB zip file with that picture and the monster Tiff file:

They are doing well at something. I bought some stock (wms) and just
sold half of it a month ago. Made some nice coin. Maybe Wall Street
acted positively on the sell off to Wayne. Actually, there was
something about that in one of the updates their stock reports that get
sent to me.

<<This seems to be true. Though I don't like the Pin2K games at all, it

can't be said they didn't sell, and I assume they did well on location.
>>

Maybe a lot of operators/distributors were wooed by the video screen...
like hey, they are finally jumping on the videogame bandwagon. And
bought more of them because of that. I think P2k would have gotten
tiresome to players and over-restricting to the designers. Pinball is
already restricted by physical space enough than to also require shots
up into the same center area on every game and obstructed view of the
top of the playfield.

Thanks for sharing!

I notice a paper taped to the playfield glass. Any idea what it said? Just
wondering whether this machine was reserved for someone special...

Just curious, is there any info out there on the 3rd Pinball 2k game?
Just curious as to what changes were ahead.

cool read. the playboy machine looks like it would have been
interesting with the 3rd flipper. And i agree that the 2 P2K machines
are very mode heavy.

would have been interesting.

Was that a candid shot or was the picture posed ?
Either way, I'm sure SK's feelings were the same.
