Playfield Toys
Turbo Lock Unit - Captures and locks the ball in one of its chambers and fires them back on the playfield by turning up the spinningspeed.

Spinning racecar model - The little Indy car acts as an a-centric weight, making the machine shake occasionally! Its velocity increases when subsequently shooting the right ramp.
