EARLY ANTIQUE COIN OP OPERATED BALLY PINBALL PENNY ARCADE RAILROAD SIGNAL GAME:
$320.50

ANTIQUE SIGNAL JR. ELECTRO-MECHANICAL PINBALL GAME INTRODUCED BY BALLY IN 1934.. NOT WORKING. LEGS, GLASS, FRONT DOOR ARE MISSING. THE THIN METAL STRIP AROUND THE OVAL HAS BUCKLED A BIT AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPOSITIONED, ADJUSTED OR FURTHER FASTENED SO IT DOESN\'T IMPEDE THE MARBLE BEING SHOT. HAS SCUFFS, DINGS, SURFACE RUST, PAINT LOSS, STAINS AND OTHER IMPERFECTIONS FROM AGE AND USE. THERE IS A CYLINDRICAL DEVICE THAT CAME WITH THE MACHINE---I DON\'T KNOW WHETHER IT BELONGS WITH THE GAME OR NOT, BUT WILL BE SHIPPED IN THE BAG WITH THE MARBLES. THE COIN SLIDE MAY BE REMOVED FOR SHIPMENT. HAS ALL EIGHT ORIGINAL LEG BOLTS, ALL OF WHICH HAVE THEIR WASHERS AND THREE OF WHICH HAVE THE LITTLE END PLATES THE BOLTS SCREW INTO. ORIGINAL LABEL IS THERE AND SAYS \"BALLY SIGNAL, 10 BALLS 5 C, RULES\" PLUS THE RULE DETAILS. GRAPHICS ON THE FIELD AND SIDES ARE THERE AND IN DECENT CONDITION. VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND THIS GAME IN A CONDITION WHERE THE LABEL AND THE GRAPHICS DO NOT HAVE TO BE RECREATED. THERE IS AN EXCELLENT YOUTUBE PIECE ON RESTORATION AND INGENIOUS PLAY OF THE BALLY SIGNAL GAME---JUST SEARCH \"1934 BALLY SIGNAL PINBALL MACHINE\". FIVE CENT COIN SLIDE IS THERE. BALL SHOOTER IS THERE AND SHOOTS THE BALL WITH GOOD SPRING ACTION. THE ELECTRICITY SUPPLY FOR THIS GAME WAS PROVIDED BY BATTERY(I THINK 6 VOLT) AND THE BATTERY IS OF COURSE NOT THERE. I HAVE HEARD THAT THE GAME CAN BE CONVERTED TO PLUG-IN FOR ELECTRICITY SUPPLY USING A BATTERY CHARGER BUT THAT IS UP TO THE NEW OWNER... ALL NINE SOLENOIDS AND SIGNAL FlagS ARE THERE ORIGINAL PAINT ON THE SIGNAL FlagS IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION.. ALL BOUNCE PINS APPEAR TO BE THERE. THE EARLY TILT MECHANISM IS THERE. THE BALL LIFTER IS THERE. THE SIGNAL BELL IS THERE. HAS ALL MARBLES, WHICH LOOK ORIGINAL(9 WHITE ONES AND ONE BLUISH-GREEN ONE WHICH COUNTED DOUBLE IN SCORING). A FEW OLD NICKELS WHICH WILL BE SENT ALONG IN THE BAG WITH THE MARBLES---I CHECKED THE DATES WHICH I COULD READ---THEY ARE NOT VALUABLE, JUST OLD. THE BALL CLEARING BOARD UNDERNEATH THE VISIBLE PLAY FIELD MOVES BACK AND FORTH SMOOTHLY BUT IS NOT ENGAGED WITH THE COIN SLIDE. A RARE MACHINE IN VERY RESTORABLE CONDITION. LEGS CAN BE FOUND OR MADE, OR THE GAME CAN BE USED IN TABLETOP MODE. SEE PHOTOS FOR REMAINING ASSESSMENT.. APPROX. 41 1/2\" X 19 1/8\" X 12\" HIGH IN BACK.
