To save those heading to Pinside, this is what Andrew from Heighway posted on Pinside in reference to this thread:
"Heighway Pinball Announces A North American Pinball Prototype Build Group.
After years of talking with John Greatwich, John is putting together a group that will build pinball prototypes based on Heighway Pinball’s parts & operating system. Fully supported by Heighway Pinball, the group will work on developing, and building, non-licensed themes, which could eventually be manufactured as licensed, or unlicensed, games by Heighway in the future – if there is sufficient demand.
The goal is to have a group of volunteer pinball people work independently on creating new ideas - bringing back creative thinking with non-licensed themes for prototypes. The build group will make pinball prototypes for the group only – with the goal being that each group member will own a version of the game they helped to produce. The group will not be manufacturing pinball machines for public sale. All technical people will work remotely, and the builds will take place in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
John Greatwich is currently putting a North American team together. If you are interested in joining this group, please contact John for more information at
