No Reserve Auction * 1947 Bally Baseball Heavy Hitter Penny Arcade Coin Op Game

 

NO RESERVE AUCTION * 1947 Bally BASEBALL HEAVY HITTER Penny Arcade Coin Op Game  We are offering this baseball heavy hitter. Bally heavy hitter: nice easy restoration project. Backglass has some flaking but isn’t too bad. Playfield looks good with minimal wear.

Someone rigged the frontdoor with a steal plate and a free play button, and bypassed the coin mech with a wire (both can easily be returned back to original). Cabinet is solid and paint is ok. Backdoor is there as well as the playfield glass. Bally heavy hitter 5/47 (introduction date), made until summer of 1949 (this game was very popular), one player.

Small pitch and bat, 32.5″ long by 15″ wide by 55 tall with the floor stand. Backglass running man unit uses five 5/8 steel balls.

And one 5/8 ball for the playfield. Top glass size is 26″ x 14″ x 3/16. Heavy hitter was either a countertop game, or a floor game (using its metal stand, though for the first month of production, heavy hitter had a wood floor stand). Despite its small size (15″ x 27″ footprint), the 1947-1949 bally heavy hitter is a great game though at first i must admit i underestimated the game, due largely to its small size. It’s fun because of its very fast play.

The pitched ball is done automatically and quickly by the game, not by a player pressing a button to pitch (unlike the later 1950s williams pitch and bats). The bat is powerful, and can really kick the ball up the playfield (it is common for the ball to bounce and hit the top glass). There are two reostats inside the game to adjust the pitching power and bat power. Heavy hitter also has a vertical running man unit in the backbox. One of five 5/8 steel ball moves from base to base as a hit is generated.
When a ball moves from third base to home, the ball closes a switch, which generates a run on the lighted score backglass. The single 5/8 ball on the playfield goes into the hole scoring playfield registering the hit or an out.

The game does not allow for multiple inning; three outs and the game is over. This used a mechanism to pitch the ball out from underneath the playfield, using a.

008 thick spring steel flap to hide the playfield ball slot when the ball was on top of the playfield. This game is similar to gottlieb’s 1951 bush league and united’s 1948 tenth inning.
