Southampton, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/14/2013 -- Take an iconic movie from the 1930s. Add a contract manufacturing company in Southampton and allow a couple of rock stars to become attached. What results from that odd mixture could be anybody’s guess, but in this case it’s “Wizard of Oz™,” a groundbreaking and highly anticipated new pinball game that’s shattering every preconceived notion of what these electronic amusement devices can do.

This action-packed game features animation as well as clips and music from the film with all its original stars: Judy Garland, Jack Haley, Bert Lahr, Ray Bolger and Frank Morgan. The manufacturer, Jersey Jack Pinball, Inc., Lakewood, NJ, reports that the initial run of 1,400 machines has already been presold, which comes as good news to IMET, 505 Keystone Road, Southampton, PA, assemblers of Wizard of Oz’s complex circuitry. The game contains 56 printed circuit boards each with as many as 1,880 subminiature or larger devices. This adds up to a total of over 78,000 printed circuit board assemblies containing up to 2.6 million components.

According to Tom Krol, IMET president, “Those heady numbers are just for openers, since early sales reports indicate that the heavy interest in Wizard of Oz gives it every possibility of crushing every previous pinball game sales record. This has caused us to double our staff to 22 and quadrupling our production capacity by adding two additional automated lines with enhanced placement speeds to 10,500 parts per hour.”

As if that weren’t enough, the game is now owned by Slash, formerly with “Guns & Roses,” and has been tested by Southside Johnny from the “Asbury Jukes.” These users are sure to get noticed by Generation X adherents who until now only considered video games – not pinball machines -- as electronic entertainment devices.
