Stern Pinball

Stern Pinball: In From The Beginning

Tracing its roots back to the 1930’s, Stern Pinball has been developing modern pinball since its very early days. Stern’s founder, Sam Stern, was part owner and president of Williams Electronics. Williams, along with Gottlieb and Bally, formed the very bedrock that the modern pinball industry was built upon.

Soon, Sam Stern wanted to take over the industry. He asked Henry Williams to sell off his company to Sam. In the end, Sam may have not gotten exactly what he wanted, but he did walk away with half of Williams Electronics. The 50’s and 60’s saw many innovations in the field of pinball. Enhancements were made to the artwork and gameplay mechanisms.

 

After Sam Stern’s death, his son Gary stepped up to run Stern Pinball. Gary has guided Stern Pinball through some of the best years pinball has seen since its introduction. Stern works to develop some of the very best pinball machines for sale. Just look to some of their production games to see the craftsmanship and care that has made Stern Pinball a huge force in the pinball community.
