Pinball Machines

I bought the machine a few years back and it has been in storage ever since. It came without legs and playfield glass. Today i set it up on a spare set of legs from a different machine and plugged it in for the first time.

Instead of the sparks and puff of smoke that i expected, it powered up without blowing any fuses. I set up a few games and most of the features seem to work. It will need some serious cleaning and the roto-wheel will need some troubleshooting. Playfield and backglass are fair (see the pictures) and all playfield plastics and bumper caps are intact.

I bought a set of replacement playfield rubber that i never used. I will include that along with the set of legs in the picture. Also, if i can find one around here iâll include a playfield glass. I have to keep the 8 leg bolts, though.

I donât have extras of those. Iâll break the machine down and help you load it. Update 8/28/2010 - i found a playfield glass for the machine and it has been installed.

Machine can easily come apart for moving in a van. I can assist in loading for personal pick-up. The games weight is approx. I can also palletize the machine for pick-up from the shipper that you choose (add $50.00 for this). I can work with that method and have it ready for such.

1973 bally âcircusâ 4-player em (electro-mechanical) pinball machine! Plays a game start to finish!

This game has been fully reconditioned/refurbished recently (07/10) by me (i have been involved in the amusement industry as a technician for 30 years). It has been done correctly & properly using the same method(s) i have been useing for years! Both mechanical panels were removed from the game then âsteam cleanedâ to remove old grease & dirt etc.

Playfield was stripped down, cleaned/waxed, posts/plastics cleaned-new rubber installed, new lamps throughout (some sockets were replaced with new under playfield-the problem ones) new mirror-glazed pinball. Cabinet metals cleaned/polished & legs were refurbished. Playfield action is strong & fast!
Rate this machine as collector quality-artwork condition wise. Cabinet is solid & does has its original artwork all around and shows its scuffs & scrapes etc. Normal for a 37 year old machine.
Game has its original scorecards in very good shape with plastic covers. Has all the original factory schematics & paperwork. Playfield i rate 8.5-9 and the backglass i would rate a 10. Game is set on free play. Match feature works (all players) & score earned extra ball scores exact to the scorecards on bottom scorecard holder.

I have been playing this machine now for a month with no problems… From here on, i will let the pictures speak for themselves….. I will gladly answer any.
Questions about this machine as well. Winner gets exact item pictured.
I cannot control how this machine is handled once it leaves my possession. The pictures say it all!
