SlugFest (Third Model)
About This Machine
SlugFest (Third Model) is a rare and little-documented Williams pinball machine, part of the SlugFest baseball-themed lineup from the early 1990s. It is a solid-state electronic (SS), two-player, baseball-themed "bat game," believed to date to around 1991-1992 based on a surviving cabinet sticker reading "SLUGFEST92," following the First Model (60001) and Second Model (60021), both released by Williams in 1991.
Compared to the earlier models, this Third Model (60121) shows several design differences: the upper playfield's "Double" inserts are blue rather than orange, the baseball diamond has white squares marking all three bases, and the top edges of the cabinet are trimmed in red rather than blue. Unlike the earlier models, there are no instructions displayed directly on the playfield, though the lower-playfield plastics have mounting holes for instruction and price card holders.
Documentation for this specific model remains scarce, and the exact differences from the First Model (60001) are not fully confirmed. Its measured weight, including legs, is 263 lbs, though it's unclear whether this figure is specific to the Third Model or shared across all SlugFest variants. As one of the more obscure entries in the SlugFest line, it remains an interesting find for collectors and historians of early-1990s Williams sports pinball.

- Notable Features:
- Having only a partial image of the playfield to study, we can say this Model 60121 differs from the second Model 60021 but resembles the first Model 60001 as follows: 1) The upper playfield "Double" inserts are blue, not orange. 2) The baseball diamond has white squares marking all three bases. 3) Instructions might be displayed on a red banner under the playfield glass. Pictures are need to confirm this. 4) There are no instructions displayed on the playfield itself, although the lower playfield left and right plastics have holes for mounting metal holders for instruction and price cards. 5) Foul line to first base has text but we cannot read it in the sole picture we have. 6) The top edges of the cabinet are trimmed in red, not blue. The card catcher is hard to see in our image but it appears to be a uniform rectangular shape unlike the one used on Model 60021. We do not know its part number. Actual measured weight: 263 lbs (includes legs). The Model weighed was not identified. Weight differences between First, Second, and Third Models may be insignificant. If anyone can provide documentation to help identify the differences between the first Model 60001 and this third Model 60121, please contact us.
