Video Apron Card System

Have you ever gone looking for your score in the middle of a game and lost the ball while studying the display? Looked for someplace that could explain the myriads of rules in a modern game? Wished you could get rid of those ugly, generic apron cards that have not changed since 1955? Look no further, the "Video Apron Card System" is here!

VACS is a new product that replaces your old paper apron cards with dual video displays, allowing for all sorts of information where you need it - near the flippers!

During a game, the right screen displays: ball in play, active player, up-to-the-second scoring, active player in large numerals for easy viewing the scores of up to 4 competitors

The left screen will show the active game mode and suggested shots, all in a fashion that can be seen and interpreted during the heat of battle! No more guessing about what you should be shooting for!

Believe it or not, I once ran a pinball manufacturing company. Wish I'd have thought of these Video Apron Cards when I was in charge. What a great way to help my operators advertise on the games! Hope the great people I've got running things now will check it out.................

I never have been able to figure out what to shoot at next in these pinball games, but that new Video Apron System has a great tutorial section that spells it all out for me! I finally learned what "Tour the Mansion" means!

"Pops" bumper Bob

Ever since my son bought those video thingies and put them in his pinball machine, I've been paying a lot more attention to them. They have pictures of my grandkids on them! Now, I'm thinking I should buy them another pinball for Christmas.
