Description
Williams Cyclone Pinball Machine
Cyclone was the 2nd machine from Williams after Comet depicting the Coney Island amusement park. The game has no multiball which is not typical for its era.[2] The next sequel was Hurricane in 1991.[3]
A revolving mystery wheel is placed in the backbox – ranging from Zilch to 200k, Extra Ball, and Special.[4] A ferris wheel one on the playfield carries the ball for a portion of its rotation.[1]
The playfield features boomerang, comet, spookhouse, and cyclone shots. Images on the moving ferris wheel depict a young couple kiss as it turns. The art on the side of the backbox features an asian type dragon and on the side of cabinet a carnival type design.[5]
Sound bites from the game were used in the song “Carousel” by the band Mr. Bungle on their self titled album.
Pinball Condition
Cabinet – Overall condition is very nice. Very little wear on the overall cabinet. Still very nice coloring and original paint. The comet theme is very attractive with bright coloring.
Back Glass- The overall back glass is in near mint condition. Extremely colorful and bright when the machine is playing or sitting in attract mode. Cyclone is a very nice amusement game theme.
Playfield- Playfield is in very very good condition. No wear spots on the playfield and looks extremely attractive.
LED’S- We have strategically placed LEDs throughout the back glass and playfield. LEDs run much cooler and much easier on the power board. We only use “COMET” LEDs as we feel they are very bright and adds the dynamic to the older Williams machines.
Instruction Manual/ Schematics– We will do our best to supply all manuals for each pinball machine, however, some manuals are harder to find. All manuals can also be printed on the www.IPDB.org website.

- Circuit Boards – It’s critical with machines pushing 30+ yrs old to re-build (bullet proof) the circuit boards.
