About This Machine

Honey, designed by Steve Kordek and manufactured by Williams Electronics starting December 17, 1971, is a four-player electro-mechanical machine from the later years of the EM era. It was a solid commercial success for Williams, with a confirmed total production of 6,301 units, the majority of which were built for export.

The gameplay is straightforward yet engaging. Players control two flippers to navigate a layout featuring five pop bumpers, two slingshots, three drop targets, and three kick-out holes, one of which is protected by a drop target. Twelve roll-over buttons feed the scoring, which maxes out at a displayed 99,990 points per player, and the layout includes a center up-post and a right outlane ball return gate.

Honey's Girls/Women - Romance theme reflects the era's fondness for glamorous subject matter on backglass and playfield art. As a well-featured, high-production Kordek design, it is a representative example of Williams EM pinball at the start of the 1970s.
