backbox

Definitions

The rear upright section of a pinball machine, usually incorporating the score display.

Examples

“The game is made exclusively in the new-type Williams cabinet design⟳ (a longer, lower styling with pedestal-mounted backbox).”

“Backbox animation was a steady attraction during the 1950s.”

“As if all of that were not enough to make⟳ this game special, it also comes with a board⟳ game in the backbox. Accomplishing success in the board⟳ game is about as important as playing good pinball toward achieving good scores (and it is the easiest way to get⟳ tokens to spit⟳ out at you).”
