About This Machine

Dialed In! (Limited Edition) stands as a showcase of Jersey Jack Pinball's technology-forward approach to game design. Released in June 2017, it is a limited production run of 2,500 units, with purchasers able to select a number from 1 to 2500 to be placed on their game; each unit came with a Certificate of Authenticity and a comic book. Pat Lawlor's design (concept by Lawlor and Ted Estes) pushes the boundaries of what pinball enthusiasts expect from their machines.

Gameplay is where Dialed In! shines. The machine boasts three flippers, three pop bumpers, five magnets, and a moving target, all of which combine to create an immersive experience that's both challenging and thrilling. The dual left inlanes and left outlane kickback add an extra layer of strategy, while the shaker motor provides a tactile sensation. Lighted ramps and multiball play round out the feature set. A digital camera in the backbox captures images of players, which are then displayed on the backglass, and an LCD is mounted directly onto the playfield.

The design and art of Dialed In! (Limited Edition) are equally impressive. A factory clear-coated playfield and blue "Quantum Mist" clearcoat body armor give the machine a distinctive appearance, while Invisiglass playfield glass provides an unobstructed view of the action below. The stereo sound system with adjustable controls and headphone jack ensures players can fully immerse themselves in the game's audio, and Bluetooth connectivity allows for remote flipper control via a player's smartphone. Notably, unlike the Standard Edition, this Limited Edition did not ship with the camera flash unit or a backbox topper. Electronics for the game were developed by Eric Meunier and Tony Tumminaro.
