Recently sold! We will miss you. Enjoy your new home in FRANCE!
Never heard of the Shyvers manufacturing company? Neither have we but they made some nice games during their brief time in business. This was the first pinball game to use "kickers". Leave it to an obscure manufacturer to come up with a major innovation! Please note that the sound effects you hear are NOT from the game, they were added (for fun) in video editing. We converted this game to AC power for convenience, it would have originally been powered by batteries (no pun intended). You can see where the batteries leaked acid in the cabinet in the restoration pictures. Game was restored by us, The Pinball Zombies, "Bringing pinball back from the dead!". Total restore time approximately 30 hrs. including making a reproduction front door as the original has been lost to the ages.
Special thanks to George Weisner from the Yahoo Prewar Pinball Group for his helpful information and advice.
Stay tuned for Rockola's 1933 World's Fair Jigsaw!

  • Cool machine! I thought the cannon fire sound effects were real the first time I watched this. (It was late at night LOL) Of course, that would have made this extremely impressive.

  • weird intro...

  • I am planning to build some replicas of some of your machines, so if you could make some videos of the inner workings, it would be much appreciated, thanks.
