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.

Whats the difference???
The purpost of the IPSND is to accurately track as many serial numbers as possible in order to determine trends among the serial numbers
amongst a specific game model. Because of this it is important for us to know if a serial number is specific to a single model by manufacturer. This allows
us to see prototype (early) production games vs end of run (later) games. Along the production process, there are many changes that may happen to
game artwork and or mechanical parts. Game Parts like a Williams Level 7 CPU board that you have laying in your parts pile are also valuable to us as during
the electronic pinball machine era many manufacturers put distinct serial numbers on the game PCB's that matched the actual game serial number. These
serial numbers are still valuable to us because they prove the existance of a serial number. Manufacturers often skipped large sequences of serial numbers to
confuse the competition. Because Game Parts may now be in a game that was a parts replacement, we don't track game to game part associations. Since a game part
may be moved from game to game, the Driver board in your Black Knight 2000 may acutally have a serial number that is from a Riverboat Gambler etc. So, in short
that is the difference between registering Identifiable Game Parts (Entire Games, Backboxes or Cabinets) and individual transient Game Parts.
