Pinball Machine on simon and simon

Postby pinballpauly » Fri Nov 09, 2007 5:36 pm

I was looking and I couldn't find a better place to post this but I am a Pinball fanatic and was wondering if anybody knows what pinball machine is in the simons office. Every shot I see it in is blurry and I can't make it out...thanks for the help

Did they actually film the interior inside the bungalow or was it just used for the exterior shots.

Production Bungalow : set ?
I do not have a factural answer to your question, only an observation.
Viewing the DVD frame by frame, I was not able to detect that the interior bungalow was not used as a set. Transition from exterior and interior shots were done well. Dennis :)

Thanks for all the info, but the machine I am talking about seems to be in the first few seasons when they had the office in the (tall building). It is located across the room from A.J.'s desk. Thanks again for all the pics and now I have another reason to shell out the big bucks and take the VIP tour!

Call it dumb luck, but I found the name of the machine. I was watching Sleuth channel and came across the episode called "Ancient Echoes" from season 6 ep.#123 first aired Feb 19-1987. The machine is called 'Hokus Pokus' made in 1975-76 and 3,086 units were officially made. Thanks again to all who took the time to try and help me out.
