The Internet Pinball Serial Number Database or IPSND collects serial numbers of pinball machines and publishes a database of these on the Internet. Our goal is to make available a registration of all pinball machines in existence and allow tools for slicing, dicing and visualization of the data.

You may enter your website here. There will be a link to this site from your submission details.

Your Website:

Enter the country that the game is currently in. Please do not enter your country if the game is located in a different country. We are trying to track serial trends and where games were shipped from the distributor.

Location:

Country name is required

Enter the serial number of your game here. Be sure to verify your serial in multiple places on the game if possible as it can be difficult to read serial numbers especially when they are stamped into the wood.

Serial Number:

Note: Spaces and dashes are removed automatically

Some games have a serial number that is formatted specifically for that game, it may have a special prefix/suffix or have special characters in the middle of the number. Be sure to enter your serial number in the format examples as shown otherwise the site will not accept your submission.

Serial Number is required

It is often the case that game serials can be registered by non-owners when a game is at a show etc. We want to be able to distinguish ownership if possible.

Owner Status:

Yes, I currently own this game.

No, I do not currently own this game.

It is important for us to distinguish between serial numbers tha have been submitted by physically reading them off a game vs. serial submissions that come from other sources such as owner's list, auctions, RPG posts or other sources. The value of these other sources is still there but they inherently have a little less value simply because there is more chance of error since the submitter is not looking at the actual machine.

Collection Method:

I read this serial number directly off the machine being registered.

The serial number is from another source such as an owner's list or auction site.

Specify if the serial number you are registering is for a complete games, just the backbox or just the cabinet. You may also specify that the serial number you are submitting is for a game part such as a CPU, Driver or other PCB. It is common for games to have PCB's from other games due to repairs etc. These are still valuable to us as they verify the existence of serial numbers. If you submit a game part serial number under a specific game, that serial will not be directly linked to that game but will be put into the database as a stand alone serial number.

Game Part:

(What Happened to Game Parts?) Game Part is required

It is common for games to have a datestamp somewhere on them, it is often stamped on the edge of the playfield plywood on the front edge. It is occaisionaly on the side edge. It is also common for games not to have this date anywhere on the cabinet. Please only submit dates that are on the game itself, not from other sources.

Date Stamps:

Specify if the game or part is complete, only of value as parts or unknown to you.

Game Condition:

Game condition is required

Game Traits are properties that you or anyone else can add to a game in the IPSND. There are instances where a particular game model may have features, printing differences or other properties that changed through the production run of the game. It is often interesting to find trends about these features and collect info on what exact serial number range that feature existed on. An example is Williams 1981 game Jungle Lord which had two different cabinet colors, red and blue.

Game Traits: (Submit your own custom Fields)

Extra PF lamp holes - The game with cabinet serial number 19890 has 14 unused and unwired playfield lamp holes that later production games do not have. These holes cannot be seen unless the playfield glass is removed. See the accompanying picture where red, white, and blue circles have been drawn around these unwired holes. This playfield also has white plastic strips mounted nearby to diffuse the light had lamps been installed in the adjacent holes. If your playfield has these unwired holes and has the diffusers, select "Unwired holes with diffusers". If your playfield has sockets and lamps installed in these holes, plus diffusers, select "Lamps installed with diffusers". If lamps are installed but no diffusers were ever installed (no tell-tale screw holes in the wood), select "Lamps installed, no diffusers". If no holes exist where the circles have been drawn in the accompanying picture, select "No holes". If your playfield is not original to your game, select "Replacement".


1st and 3rd base lettering - The game with cabinet serial number 19890 has a lower playfield where the letters in "1st Base" and "3rd Base" are written "vertically". Later games show these entire words written "sideways". See the comparison picture showing the vertical presentation on the top and the sideways presentation on the bottom. Select either "Vertical" or "Sideways" for your playfield. If your playfield is not original to your game, select "Replacement".
