About the Four AC/DC Pinball Models:
• Offered in four models:
o Back in Black LE (“Black LE”); ONLY 300 units
o Let There Be Rock (“Rock LE”); ONLY 200 units
o Premium (this is a NEW model)
o Pro (Coin Op)

• LE’s and Premium are SUPER LE’s with more features and higher price points than
recent LE games from SPI
• With the SUPER LE’s, we are responding to market demands
• We do not expect to offer SUPER LE’s very frequently, which adds to their value as a
collectible
• The Premium is new and is designed for customers and players that want GAME PLAY
like the LE but the artistic simplicity of the Pro
2
• The Premium is a SUPER high-end game, but priced lower than the SUPER LE’s to
account for the artistic simplicity and lack of collectible features (such as numbering,
signatures and limited production runs)
• There are NO PRODUCTION LIMITS on the Pro or the Premium models and the game
is subject to change

About the Game:
• Designed by STEVE RITCHIE, the highest selling designer in pinball history
• Programmed by LYMAN SHEATS, widely recognized as one of the most creative rule
makers in pinball history

• 12 COMPLETE iconic AC/DC songs:
o Back in Black
o You Shook Me All Night Long
o Highway to Hell
o For Those About to Rock
o T.N.T.
o Hells Bells
o Thunderstruck
o Let There Be Rock
o Rock N Roll Train
o Hell Ain’t a Bad Place To Be
o Whole Lotta Rosie
o War Machine

• An incredible new sound system that makes this game the best sounding pinball game in
history
• A packed playfield featuring:
o For Those About To Rock Cannon
 Pro: Rotating cannon perched on top of the right slingshot that shoots
balls. A diverter on the right ramp feeds balls to the cannon.
 LE and Premium: A crossover ball track with diverter also feeds the
cannon.
o Hells Bell:
 Pro: The custom-made bell is stationary on the Pro model. There is a stand-up
target behind the (overhead) bell. Once the target is hit the trademark AC/DC bell
sound loudly resonates!

 LE and Premium: The custom-made bell is on a pivot and a ball hangs below it
just above the playfield. Hitting the ball swings the bell and the trademark
AC/DC bell rings loudly! There is a ball lock behind the bell. Also, there is
a magnet under the playfield. Under certain conditions, when playing in the Hells
Bells song mode, the bell becomes interactive: when the player hits the Fire
button, the magnet is energized and the bell swings on its own, prompting
the trademark AC/DC bell to ring once again!

o Rock N Roll Train:
 Pro: The iconic train from the Black Ice album is eye candy and symbolic
of the band. There is a flash lamp behind the train display.
 LE and Premium: The train is custom-made and molded with an LED in
the train headlight. There is also a flash lamp in the back.
o Hell (lower) Mini Playfield:
 Pro: Not available on the Pro model.
 LE and Premium: The game features an “Underworld” lower miniplayfield
seen through a Lexan window. With 2 flippers, 3 Targets and 2
orbits, the action is fast and fun.

o T.N.T. Detonator:
 Pro: The detonator has a plunger handle that is fixed. Hitting all three
T.N.T. stand-up targets kicks off a simulated “fire” light show.
 LE and Premium: After hitting all 3 T.N.T. drop targets, the targets stay
down. Then, a detonator target is exposed behind the letter “N”. Hitting
that target activates a solenoid that causes the plunger to go down, kicks
off the detonator, and sets off a “fire” light show.
o The Highway To Hell: The right ramp is “The Highway to Hell”.
 Pro: A billboard-like image of the band is placed over the right ramp in
the corner.

 LE and Premium: An LED board is mounted that contains yellow, red and
orange lights. When a ball travels on the ramp, the colors randomly flicker
simulating fire and flames on the ramp. Also, the Premium and LE
versions feature a mechanically animated band with each character
rocking and swaying in time with the music.
o Devil's Juke Box: On the back panel is the horned juke box tune selector that
allows the player to select any of the 12 complete AC/DC songs
o Drop targets: Drop targets available on the LE and Premium models only.
• A ground-breaking rule set that enables players to:
o Choose FULL songs they like to hear
o Choose rules they like to play
o Choose areas of the playfield they like to play
o Pursue a nearly infinite number of scoring strategies
o Stack and overlap three multi-ball modes (Jam, Album and Tour)
• An outstanding art package from the incomparable John Youssi featuring an over-sized,
hand-drawn, sneering face of Angus Young that embodies the rock “n” roll attitude of
AC/DC.
