1960 Chicago Coin's World Series Shuffle Alley

This was a project I took on a few months back. This game looked like it should have been hauled to the dump. It was in bad shape. But, since I had never come across one of these, the rarity of it got to me. There is only one known photo of it on-line. Other owners are not known. All the normal sources of schematics could not supply one. I had to go at this one blind. Trouble was, it had about a dozen wires shredded and torn. The entire project consumed about 150 hours of restoration work. The cabinet was stripped, re-stenciled to original form and repainted. Every switch leaf was cleaned, every motor required dis-assembly, cleaning and a rebuild. The end product is a beautiful relic of days gone by. This was a 10c arcade game, but your daddy will tell you many bets were placed on who could score higher or payouts were given by the bartender. I hope you enjoy viewing this little slice of Americana as much I enjoyed restoring it. God Bless.
