About This Machine

The Upper Deck pinball machine, manufactured by Williams Electronics starting February 1973 (1,250 units confirmed produced), holds a notable place in pinball history as the last electro-mechanical (EM) baseball game made by Williams. It offers an authentic sports experience to players, complete with ball pitching and batting devices that simulate real-life gameplay.

What sets Upper Deck apart from other EM machines is its unique blend of mechanical and electronic elements, including ball pitching and batting devices and electronic sound - a novelty at the time, adding to the immersive experience for players.

As the culmination of Williams' line of EM baseball games, Upper Deck is a coveted collector's item among enthusiasts, marking the end of an era before Williams' baseball machines moved to solid-state electronics. Its rarity and nostalgic value make it a prized addition to any serious pinball collection.
