4 buttons for pinball controls?
(1/1)
onespriggan:
Hello,
I have noticed that many cabinets have 4 buttons (2 on each side) devoted to pinball games. Is there a reason for this as most of the pinball machines I remember had only one on each side?
thanks
shardian:
The second set is for nudging.

My cabinet has 6 pinball inputs total. Right nudge, Left Nudge, Center Nudge, Right Flipper, Left Flipper, and plunger (via optical switch).

Several Williams games had the magna-save buttons on the side, where you could save the ball from draining by activating the magnet. Black Knight comes to mind. I always thought that was so cool.

They've been used for several different things. One pin that comes to mind, johnny mnemonic, the buttons were used to control a glove on the playfield.
