1980 Bally "Silverball Mania" Pinball -- #1

[lashutterbug]

I had the chance to buy one of these machines just before I headed off to college back in the day. The price was right but I never would have found room in my dorm room for it, plus the transportation for it would have been a real bitch, so I passed. *SIGH*...such a pity...

Thank you for this video!!

It just brought back childhood memories. In winter, I went to our town's indoor pool with my older brother (I was 10). This machine stood in the vestibule of the pool building, and he always paid my games so I did'nt disturb him when he was kissing his girlfriend ;-)

I played this game all of the time at the Pt. Pleasant, NJ boardwalk. That, Xenon, and 8 Ball Deluxe were my favorite pinball machines.

I can now play this machine for a long time on one game and rarely drain the ball. I have rolled the 6 digit score many times now. The backglass is starting to show signs of flaking even though it is already clear coated. Probably going to look for a replacement backglass. Also planning on replacing the playfield with a new reproduction. Paint is having issues where the Mylar does not cover it around the top of the playfield and in the horseshoe loop. Very fun to play and not for sale.

This is a beautiful looking table. I remember always liking it as a kid.

But it really is very cheap. Tragically so. Those outlanes are killers, with the bottom bumpers continually pushing the ball out. Very harsh and unrewarding.

I wouldn't say no to owning one though. :-)
