About This Machine

Oh Boy, designed by Steve Kordek with artwork by George Molentin, was manufactured by Williams in February 1964 in a confirmed run of 1,700 units. It is a two-player electro-mechanical pinball machine featuring two flippers, five pop bumpers, four passive bumpers, two slingshots, two ball kickers, two rollover buttons, and a kick-out hole.

The machine includes an optional double match award, operator-adjustable to pay out 2, 5, or 10 replays when triggered, adding a chance-based bonus to gameplay alongside the standard scoring elements. The maximum displayed score is 1,999 points per player, typical of Williams games from this period.

The machine's art and design reflect the Williams style of the era, built around a lighthearted "Girls/Women" theme. While additional details about its reception are not documented, Oh Boy remains a representative example of mid-1960s Williams pinball craftsmanship.
