Did pinball machines ever come pre-drilled for lockdown bars?

[Seven]

Had a bunch of people together last night for pinball. We were exchanging stories of pins we've seen recently.

Someone saw a machine listed as HUO but it had holes for a lockdown bar. That started the conversation if any company pre-drilled the holes at the factory. No one knew for sure since none of us ever bought NIB - especially 20 year old pins.

So, does anyone know the answer to this?

Yes, some pins came pre-drilled from the factory for lock bar holes. My HUO ToTAN and HUO CV both have the hasp bar mounts pre-installed from the factory.

NGG had it as well

Funny you should mention NGG. That's the machine we were discussing last night.

All WPC95 games had them from the factory including MM too.
