Episode 358 - 1973 Sega Galaxy - a podcast by Nicholas Baldridge

Galaxy and other Sega games used several interesting mechanisms:
Slings that work via pressure from the ball hitting a large piece of plastic instead of ganged switches, and pop bumpers that are a single piece of plastic rather than using a rod and ring assembly.  On top of that, Galaxy has an under-playfield magnet that will move the ball from left to right, similar to the Mist ball on Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Neat stuff!
