Dismantling "The Flip Side", a 1:5 scale pinball machine created by American Girl (the doll company). This is the 2nd video in a series where I disassemble and reverse engineer this cool little machine. In this video we examine the backbox and playfield circuitry. We find out how the machine works by mapping the circuits for power, lighting, switches, optical sensors, motor control, audio output, and memory. We also discover that the original software doesn't make full use of the machine's lighting capabilities.
