1963 A. L. Twins
About This Machine
The 1963 A. L. Twins is an unusual electro-mechanical (EM) baseball-themed pinball machine. It is not an original Williams release but rather a conversion of Williams' own 1963 'Major League', apparently altered (likely by an operator) by changing the name on the backglass. It's unclear when this conversion was done or what other modifications were made, and the game does not appear in Williams' own documentation.
In terms of gameplay, the A. L. Twins features a ramp made from unpainted metal, which adds to its rough, utilitarian charm, along with seven hanging targets that give players multiple scoring opportunities typical of early-1960s EM baseball games.
The baseball theme is a classic one in pinball, and the A. L. Twins' metal ramp and hanging targets reflect the industrial simplicity characteristic of EM machines from this era. Because so little is documented about its origin and modification history, it remains something of a curiosity for collectors interested in unofficial variants of well-known games.
