1 Introduction

This section is dedicated to the repair, preservation, restoration and maintenance of Valley's Spectra IV. These are very special and unique machines. It was the only pinball machine manufactured by the Valley company (known for Billiards equipment) and one of only two solid state pinball machines where the entire playfield could rotate for additional players instead of trading positions in front of the machine. Players still have the option of leaving the playfield in place and the players can move as traditional pinball games.
