Re: Let's Play Pin!
I, too, love pinball machines. I used to have a really old one that was made in the early '50's. I can't recall the brand, but, I think it was a Bally. It had a cowboy shoeing a horse and whenever you scored 100 points the horse would kick the cowboy over the pen's fence. It was all electro-mechanical, using a ton of flat spring relays and solenoids. I restored it to 100% working condition, but, made the mistake of refinishing the outside, as well, making it a walnut stain. It looked very nice and that hurt the resale, although, I only paid $50 for it, I sold it for $2000
