Archer Homebrew Pinball

Archer is an amazing cartoon and a group of guys are working to make it into an amazing pinball.  The machine is the brain-child of Keith Elwin, probably the best competitive pinball player out there, and his brother Randy along with Mark Guidarelli.

There are lots of home brew pinball projects out there with varying levels of builds and progress.

The shot map and the video of this machine show that is it among the most polished of the current batch of homebrews and it looks to be among the most playable.

There is no mention of whether or not they are going to try to leap the hurdles necessary to obtain the license and manufacture the machine.  For now, we can just enjoy the progress being made and hope that it will one day be playable at shows or maybe available for purchase.
