1981 BALLY

This game was taken in on trade. It didn't work and I was getting out of the early 80's games as far as my collection. I would have kept this game just due to the condition. I really didn't like the graphics, but they are sort of cool, in a way. Back glass was in EXCELLENT condition. These were popular machines, so I was surprised to see how nice this on is. Anohter shot of the backglass is HERE Still another is HERE The game was not working when I got it. It also never left my truck. I had someone who had been looking for a Centaur and wanted this one non-working. It went from the old owner to the new one through me.

The playfield has a very odd black and white look to it. Very typical bally 80's pinball. The game has somewhat of a cult following, so finding one in this shape seemed to have some excitement when I posted it to the pinball newsgroup. Not too bad of condition. There is some wear around some of the inserts, but not like some other games of this era and popularity. Another playfield pic is HERE Still another HERE

Cabinet shots. Sorry for the crude, nasty, dark photos. The pictures were taken for the new owner the night I picked the game up. It went to the new owner the very next day in Detroit. The cabinet is in excellent condition compaired to other pins of that era. It hasn't been moved around much which is a good way to keep the cabinet nice.

The head folded down on this game. I am not sure when bally did this all the time, but this is sort of a first. Most games had the head come off. Folding it down is easy to transport, but it is heavy.

Coin door is nice. I even think the thrid mech was in there, so all you had to do is put a Susan B plastic in and you would have a three slot door. Hope the new owner loves the game. I probably should have kept it, but at least someone else will get to enjoy it.
