If you’ve been following my pages, you know that I keep an eye on Europe where the markets are still flourishing and today I got a nice surprise from there when I opened up my emails and found a rare set of pictures from J.R. who lives in Norway.

It’s my distinct pleasure to be able to introduce you to “Miss Reno!”

- Here’s the email from J.R. -

Hi !

I am searching the net for a game I just bought ! Do you have any clue ?

It is a Playmatic Bingo Pinball - bought in Denmark -

I have found a pic from it in your site ....... here's another one !

I also have one more ..... This is a huge machine ! Called Miss Reno ! Do

you have any information about these ?? (also bought in Denmark)

Regards - Jan R. - Norway .

I went ahead and responded to Jan that this is likely one of the early Wimi machines and I base this upon this equally rare Miss Bowling Deluxe picture from ebay.com.be (ebay Belgium) below:

The wooden cabinet work, the identical control buttons positioned in the hand and arm rest, the “borrowed Bally-style playing field, and the many backglass features all scream that this is one of their machines.

_ Thanks Jan – Way Cool! _
