Where can I find an MP3 recording of the sounds made by the original
playboy pinball machines?

Which Playboy pinball machine are you talking about, or do you need
sounds from all of them (since you said "machines" in your question
and not "machine").

There are now 3 pinball machines that carry the Playboy theme:

Playboy (Bally, 1978)
Playboy 35th Anniversary (Data East, 1989)
Playboy (Stern, 2002)

Actually there are 6 pinball machines named "Playboy" in the history
of pinball, but I'm guessing you are referring to machines made after
1953 that are themed after the men's magazine.

The ROM code, including four voices, is available from Stern:

I guess I would need a Stern pinball emulator to run the ROM.  Maybe
that will be my next question if I can't find an MP3.  Thanks.

Well, the Stern ROM listed above is for the 2002 game.   Since you
mention "original" machine, I assume that you are talking about the
1978 game?

Since I don't have a way for you to get straight mp3 files for the
game, I'm not posting this as an answer.  But...

One thing you can do is trying using PinMame (a pinball emulator) and
running the ROMs of the '78 Playboy.  The ROM for is contains wavs of
the sounds (I think) and you might be able to extract them and turn
them into mp3s.  However, I've been told that PinMame "vaguely works"
and is often hard to set up.  So this is not really an easy solution. 
 But if you want to read more:

Now, maybe if you were asking about the sounds to Jackbot....

Keep flipping,

Yes, I am talking about the 1978 machine.  I would be happy with WAV files.
