Check out the amazing lot of pictures i attached of this game (sorry dialup users, it’s going to take a while to load, there are over 30+ pictures attached of this game) she’s a williams fire! The game itself works perfect and circuits are 100%.

The physical outside cabinet is in great shape as is the playfield as you can see from the pictures check out the pics as they tell the tale. Bring the fun of an great theme and sound right into your living room or gameroom, she’s as much fun to look at as to play! Allot of toys this one has! If your local, come on by and take a look at it if you like. All the pins we sell go through the same process pretty much and here’s a general breakdown on what we do….

Playfield teardown - parts on top of the playfield including bulbs, assemblies, wireform ramps, plastic ramps, pop bumper caps, apron, etc are all removed from the game to expose playfield surface. Inside cabinet cleaned - playfield removed from cabinet, inside vaccumed and wiped down, inside sides repainted if needed, rails scrubbed, coin door removed and rebuilt, cabinet switches checked and or replaced. Air flow grates cleaned and inspected. Wires wiped and connectors and shileding checked. Underside playfield cleaned and checked, wirelooms, inserts cleaned, mechanical parts inspected and connections verified. Clean and wax playfield - hand clean with dust free surgical cloths and a non-abrasive cleaner (not sprayed on), usually takes 2-3 times over until cloths no longer show any dirt.

All drop targets, stationary targets, posts and misc metal and plastic parts are done as well that remain on playfield. Playfield parts cleaned - hand clean all removed playfield parts with dust free cloths and hand dried (no dishwasher used at all as they can warp parts) everything is hand-done. Ramps, wireforms cleaned - hand cleaned as well, wires are wiped down and switches checked, non abrasive cleaner and hand dried. Bulbs and flashers - install new bulbs and flashers on the top side of the playfield and backbox, underneath one’s are typically just bad one’s replaced unless otherwise noted. Final playfield - all new expensive mirror glazed pinballs and apron placards installed.

Head, circuitry and boards - wires all inspected and verified. Parts replaced if needed, all tests performed, checked and re-checked. Display disassembled, cleaned and put through the test paces as well to verfiy clarity and functionality.

Final assembly & test - full function test again and played! Best part of the restoration process! Game is left on for 2 - 3 days to verify new bulbs are good hey, even new bulbs can burn out, it does not happen often but it can happen and we check for that! If they don’t after the first day then they will last thier full expected life. She just had the following work done.

All new white soft-flex rubbers / all new expensive mirror glazed premium pinballsâ® installed and 10 coats of wax (for super fast ball play) everything inside was checked out and working perfect! Check out the bunch of pictures i attached as pics say 1000 words. All ramps and playfield parts were disassembled and cleaned. The flippers were checked out and adjusted so they fire like cannons and perfectly symetrical every time.

The slingshots and pop bumpers have been set “super sensitive” - i love them set this way, if the ball just glances them they fire it off in a diffrent direction, makes gameplay soooo much better than having to have the ball hit hard and right on. Sorry i attached so many pictures over 30+ pictures! But they show it all and i want you to see for yourself what an outstanding machine this really is. Anybody can say anything about a pinball machine but sooo few ever have pictures to back it up. There are reasons why some folks take thier pictures in the dark and it’s not because they can’t find a clamp on light. We have a ultra high resolution camera.

You can get in depth details of this pinball and just about any other at (which stands for internet pinball database). The following were comments made about the game….. Probably the most underrated pin. Don’t know where they all are. Wms built a bunch of these but they rarely seem available.

Ding, ding, ding, save my baby! - considering this machine’s release date, it’s the best of its era. Wishing there was more game-specific parts support on this one… Ours is high-mileage and pretty busted up, however fun beyond comparison! This was the game that started it all for me. The artwork is fantastic and the music and sound effects are perfect for the theme, giving the game a sort of antique feel. The moving ladder ramps are cool, and the ringing brass firebell topper is great. The gameplay is a bit different from typical pins which i could see might not appeal to some, but i think it ties in nicely with the chicago fire theme and is really fun, and isn’t that what its all about? One of my all time favs. This is by far my favorite game when it comes to integrating audio, lights, and sound track into the gameplay. You get great feedback for all the senses (ok, no smells unless you burn out a coil), the game is very addicting. Its very challenging to try and put out all the fires quickly.

The ramp shots reward you with great sound effects. The playfield plastics are really attractive and unique. The brass bell on top of the backbox rings after your ball drains to reinforce the bonus multiplier. Overall this game is alot of fun.

This one is the first one my visitors want to play and they keep coming back. The game can be viciously fast. Not the greatest playing game ever but very addicitive nonetheless. The ramp shots are deceptively difficult. The multiball seems to drain balls really fast.

The artwork however is outstanding and makes up for all other flaws. All in all a fun playing game. I wouldn’t recommend it as a first game but is a great second or third machine. A great pin designed by mark and barry! This one was fun in the arcade and now i own one.

It is my first pin and i love it. Unique bell ring is a hit with friends and it is loud! William’s system 11a is solidly built plus all the modes and diagnostics are cool to learn. Mylar playfield is really open and fast.

Rescuing victims and trapping firemen is rewarding. Translight can become a little melted, switch out any #44 bulbs for #47 and you should be good. Plastics take a beating and hard to find a game with few cracks in the buildings.

“quite an unusual game with fantastic light effects (being its main feature), a real “fire bell and a range of long shot ramps. 2 of which move up and down so you can shot under or over.

The main ladder ramp to get 3 ball multiball is satisfyingly difficult. There is a flipper post which adds to the play because it pops up when you go for the ramp shots so you don’t feel the machine is unfair - it can catch you out when you are not used to it which is quite nice - again its a feeling that the pin is different from the norm - the quotes can be a bit unsettling “smash the window” and “save my baby” come to mind but my eldest child thinks thats funny and really enjoys this pin ????? He especially likes the music which does seem to have a strange hypnotic effect and i guess that is part of its appeal and now that i have got used to it, its kinda fun. I like the fact that when hitting the flippers, there is a nice explosion sound with good lighting flashes on the playfield and that the lower slingshot gi lights come on when the ball comes out onto the playfield from the shooter lane. The rolling light is a great effect, quite unique and strangely satisfying even though a bit scary for me! This is one pin that you can play in total darkness and still see the playfield which i like and it makes for a nice varied machine in a collection - especially with its historical reference to the great fire - started by a cow.

I understand that its the first pin to start cow references in pinball! It moos at you when you press start.

This is my first machine. This one won because of the great multiball and the wonderful artwork and gimmicks on the game (i think bumpers are overrated). If this one fits your interior you’ll have it in your living room for a long time if not forever (i have).
Good, sometimes very fast, gameplay cuz the ball goes straight on to the flippers for another orbit difficult! On and off _always_ a fun game to play!

Playfield and make the best of both! For the sake of this game. - because this is a real masterpiece in pinball artwork !!!

Even though the game play is neither new nor very fastidiously, fire! Is a wonderful pinball machine. The art is far out, the background ragtime tune is beautiful and more than perfect for this table, the bell is one of the best gimmicks in pb history ever. To find and own such a beauty is one of my most ambitious goals, talking about pinball! Barry oursler, one of the great unsung heros of pinball, strikes again with one of the most beautiful games ever made.

This pin has it all: ramps that are easy, ramps that are hard, fire effect on the playfield and the best molded plastic city under glass ever made. The putting out fires scoring is confusing.
Tip: put flasher bulbs behind the horses legs on the backglass to liven it up. New expensive williams 4×7 led display board. 10 coats of wax for super fast ball play! - you won’t believe how fast the ball rifles around on this one!

General check-up of all boards and circuits. All new bulbs in entire machine. Brand new custom pincards installed in apron. New batteries in cpu board and battery holder.
