Pinball Machines

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!

This is a very nice xenon! It has been home use only for the past 20 years. The inside of the cabinet is not stained like most from this era, very clean & solid.

Although no picture, the right side of the backbox looks good. The legs do need to be painted. The circuit boards are in good shape, it has a new solenoid driver board. The playfield has new rubber, new blue posts & new pop skirts. The plastics are in good shape. The flippers are strong & have new parts. Apron & shooter gauge are in good shape. This machine will light up a game room! Below is a link to this machine in action.

The playfield has been touched up in a few area’s, then clearcoated with automotive clearcoat. The backglass is very nice, just 1 very small scratch right of the player 2 display window. The lower cabinet has a few dings, the backbox has a small area of damage in the lower left front (see pic), i forgot to take pics of the backbox sides, they look like the lower cabinet, i can send pics if needed. The red paint has turned to pink like almost all fg machines. The circuit boards are in good shape, i can send pics of these too if needed. The squawk & talk has new caps installed. The playfield has new rubber, new targets & new pop skirts.

The plastics are in good shape. The flippers work well, but would be a little stronger if rebuilt. Here’s a link to a youtube video of this machine.

This is a 100% working pinball very clean great game to have. It has everything multi ball, a swinging ramp and shaker motor. Cabnit is in great shape with a couple scratches but nothing bad.

All shopped and ready to go. If you have any ?

This is a twinky pinball machine. It is in working condition.

Please feel free to send any questions.

A fun table with lots of things to do and shoot for. The big ramp in the middle is a blast to hit! Cabinet is in decent shape. Has some dings and dents for its age.

I see very little wear. All the plastics look to be in great shape with no cracks.

Flippers, poppers and kickers are all strong. Game boards look to be in great shape. The main mpu board has no acid damage at all typical on those data east machines, batteries recently replaced as well. The game functions properly with no reported errors. There are a few bulbs not working, easy fix.

Never mind the glare in the photos, its the sun or flash. Additional pictures can be found at.

This is a nice working 1957 chicago coin bowling league ball bowler! This is a great bowling alley that plays regulation bowling, lots of fun!

The alley is in very good shape as the pics show, & the cabinet itself is solid. The backglass needs some minor touchups (very easy & solid colors), but i did seal it to make sure it does not get any worse. Front coin door is wood & is rough (again, easy fix as its all wood & solid colors on the outside). This bowler is fully working, i re-did all the score reels, stepper units, bell (it dings great now), ball return…. Again, this is a working ball bowler. I did not bolt the 2 parts of the alley together as i knew it wouldnt be here long, but i do have the bolts. This is a 14 foot bowler but does come apart, the head comes off & the alley comes apart into 2 pieces for easier moving. Do a little scrubbing & woodwork & save yourself 500-1000 on a working ball bowler!

I did not shop this game, it needs a good wipedown & scrubbing. I did go through it & it works all the way, all 6 players, all score reels, i fixed anything that was wrong with it & thats where i stopped, you do the scrubbing. Game is set for free play, no coins needed.

What i can guarantee you is that the game will leave my place fully working as stated. There are companies like united van lines & that will come get the game, crate it & get it to you in one piece.

This game is a lot of fun to play & is very addivting & rates right up there with kiss, fireball & other top tier games of this vintage. This game has 3 levels, main floor, cellar & attic! The game is very hard & fun to play as it has a lot going on in the game: 3 levels, spooky sounds, many targets, eight flippers & 5 pop bumpers all over! The center “secret passage” on the main playfield looks like a target but its not, it folds back to let the ball creep down into the cellar, very cool feature! This game is in above average shape, compared to other games of this vintage its in very good shape!
The playfield is in nice shape with nice plastics, & minimal wear. Cabinet has all original graphics & its solid too. Everything works perfectly on this game, every bulb, target, switch, flipper, everything. This game has a brand new cpu installed, new connectors all around & all the ground mods have been done also on this game (was a problem for this game when designed), making it a very reliable game! Im constantly the cheapest in town, check out my feedback & prices, i sell a lot of nice pinballs to a lot of happy people! Do yourself a favor & see what a real shopped game plays like, you’re welcome to come by & play it (& other games i have). This game was not wiped down in the center & called “shopped”, look under the plastics & posts & you can see the game was cleaned all the way around!

Here is what was done to the game. Playfields completely stripped & waxed with 3 coats of shines & plays fast!

All screws & posts tumbled & soaked for 2 days. All new rubbers installed on game. Cabinet wiped down with high grade industrial cleaner (colors are much better now). Backglass sealed with triple thick sealer to prevent any flaking of the artwork in the future. Many games played to insure it all works well!

We have ultimately decided that we will sell our gnr project as it is a little too much to try and tackle at this time. We would be willing to transport it from salt lake to boise or seattle in the early part of june, assuming that it is paid for in full.

The shooter lane wire form has been configured to shoot the ball into the top right part of the slash orbit and then into the rollover lanes, it does not fly over the top of the r ramp, rather it is routed underneath it. The vuk wireform has been altered to drop the ball into the r ramp, rather than onto the shooter lane. The cabinet is rough and has numerous scratches, and there appears to be somewhat even fade on both sides. The siderails have some dents and should probably be replaced.

The gun handle shows wear, and you might want to re-plate it for a better look. The translight is held on by black electrical tape and the backbox lock hex key is missing. I could not find the keys to hold the backglass in the machine, so you will probably want a new one of those as well. The axl hole scoop assemebly appears to be slightly bent, and the axl hole looks like the wear would be covered by a cliffy protector, although i suggest that the hole be filled first. The two ramp entrances have jackpot plastic signs mounted at the entrances, which we have not seen before.

If you would like additional pictures, please let us know. The additional pictures show a close up of the axl hole wear that shows that a cliffy protector should cover the wear there. The new pictures also show all of the boards being present in the backbox. Final update: we pulled a known working transformer from a checkpoint and tested it in the machine. The display lit up (partially) and some of the insert lights lit up as well (as pictured), but the machine did not go through its complete boot up process.

This varistor acts like a surge protector, and although it is not necessary, we suggest that you have one in case of a brown out in your area. We also recommend that the translight be replaced as it has some damage.

This firepower received an extreme makeover! Most of the playfield was re-painted & then clearcoated with automotive clearcoat. Most of the playfield inserts were replaced with new ones.

The backglass has some touch ups, but looks very good, it has been sealed to prevent any more loss of paint. It looks much better than most originals. Some leds have been installed to give the backglass a better look. The circuit boards are in nice shape with some upgrades. The legs have a good shine. The inside of the cabinet is very clean. The playfield rubbers were replaced recently. The flipper bats are new. The bumper caps are intact & look better than most firepower caps. The pf apron looks very nice.
