1932 Bally BallyRound Pinball Machine

Recently cleaned up and Lots of fun!
This pinball is purely mechanical. There is no electricity used to operate this game whatsoever.
Notice there is no "tilt" mechanism on this game. You are free to shake, rattle and roll without consequence.
Playfield is made of "bird's eye" maple.

Thanks! Thats a nice Pitch-n-Bat game you have.

That is very, very cool! Makes me want to attempt to build one... lol If you have the glass off, is the playfield easily removed? I would be interested in how the playfield was shaped. Is it a solid board that has been dished out, or has it been steamed and pressed into a bowl shape (in order to get the ball to gravitate to the center)?

When disassembling the game, the glass is the last thing to come off. You have to first remove the top half of the cabinet, flip it upside down then start unscrewing the boards. The glass and surrounding frame is all that will be left. The playfield looks like it was steamed and pressed, not dished out.

Wow you have some really unique games.

That looks like a lot of fun to play.

I think I might get into restoring Baggatel games too. ;)

Now that's just cool. Took me a while into the video to realize the goal WASN'T to get to the center, though. I would have wasted my nickel ;_;

I literally squealed with delight when I saw this video in my subscription box! That's a really interesting game, with the different pockets like "Lose 200."
