Twilight Zone Spiral TV Shooter Knob

Spiral TV Shooter Knob for Twilight Zone Pinball – Enter Another Dimension

Cross the boundary between reality and imagination from the very first ball with this
Spiral TV Shooter Knob for Twilight Zone Pinball.
Featuring an old retro television displaying a
black and white hypnotic spiral,
this Shooter Knob perfectly captures the strange,
mysterious and instantly recognizable aesthetic of The Twilight Zone.

The television has a genuine vintage look with its brown frame,
gold finishes,
side controls
and raised speaker grille.
In the center,
the screen displays a large black and white spiral that seems to literally draw your gaze into it.

And if you stare at it long enough before launching the ball,
we accept no responsibility for your possible journey into a fifth dimension.

Designed for Twilight Zone Pinball

This Shooter Knob was specially designed to complement the
Twilight Zone pinball machine by Bally
and extend its universe all the way to the front of the machine.

Television,
strange phenomena,
hypnosis
and distortions of reality naturally echo the atmosphere of the famous series and the pinball machine.
The black and white spiral immediately reinforces the impression of slipping into a world where the usual rules no longer really apply.

Once installed,
the Shooter Knob becomes a genuine little decorative element
and fits perfectly alongside the many mysterious references already present on the machine.

A retro television entirely sculpted in 3D

The Shooter Knob takes the form of an
old cathode-ray tube television
with its characteristic volumes.
The cabinet,
screen surround,
controls
and side grille are all fully sculpted in relief.

The finish combines different shades of brown,
bronze
and gold to reinforce the television’s vintage appearance.
Darker areas highlight the recesses and contours to give the entire piece greater depth.

The screen is obviously the central focus of the design.
The black and white spiral
creates a powerful contrast with the warm colors of the television
and immediately catches the eye.

The result gives the impression that the television was taken directly from an episode of Twilight Zone.
Fortunately,
this one only receives a single channel:
the one that launches your ball.

Handcrafted and hand-painted

Each Twilight Zone Spiral TV Shooter Knob
is made to order, then individually prepared and hand-painted.

Special attention is given to the different textures,
metallic effects,
shades of the cabinet
and small details of the controls to highlight the sculpted reliefs.

The shading and weathering effects preserve the appearance of a genuine old television
rather than a perfectly new object.

This handcrafted production may result in slight variations from one piece to another.
The shades,
shading
and certain finishing details may therefore vary slightly,
contributing to the unique character of each piece.

An original yet fully functional Shooter Knob

Despite its appearance as a miniature television,
this mod remains above all a
fully functional pinball Shooter Knob.
Its shape provides a comfortable surface for gripping and pulling the Shooter Knob normally during gameplay.

You therefore retain all the functions of the original mechanism
while completely transforming its appearance.

Pull the television toward you,
release…
and watch the ball disappear into the Twilight Zone.
Well,
if everything goes according to plan,
it should mainly head into the shooter lane.
