- Flipcommons AI Descriptions (MachineModel)*Diablo* is a [[technology-generation:solid-state]] four-player pinball machine that [[manufacturer:giuliano-lodola]], a small maker based in [[location:italy/ms/avenza]], built in 1980. The bulk of Lodola's output rebuilt American [[manufacturer:williams]] designs without licence: Williams' *[[model:blackout]]* became *[[model:black-hole-2]]* (1980) and its *[[model:black-knight]]* became *[[model:black-rider]]* (1981), each reconstructed from scratch under a new Italian name.[1] *Diablo* -- Italian for "the Devil" -- belongs to that same brief run of solid-state four-player tables, but its [[theme:demonic]] name sets it apart from those siblings, which took their titles straight from the Williams machines they reproduced.
