    Any opinions? The top is the original glass, the bottom the art work for a reproduction.

    Victory Roll - bowling game

    It's Skee Ball. What's not to like :rolleyes: My Girlfriend used to think I was waisting my time with all the pinball machines. She's not all that fond of them. But Skee-Ball? She called me at 6:30 this morning asking if she could bring me coffee to get me going on the Skee Ball.

    I will. But, as I dig into it, and now pretty much understand the workings of it, things start to get a bit complicated. Turns out, the train transformer powers the 4 magnetic coils. I tried momentarily powering each of the coils, and all 4 are shot....and they're SEVENTY years old. I don't...

    And sold the pinball to a museum...$100. So the Skee Ball, it's only 7' long and just over 2' wide.Looks like the manufacturer was Pan Coast Amusement Co. N.Y.C. Only thing I can find on them is they made a shoe shinning machine. Found a couple of coins under the coin box.

    Weeeeeeellllll. Things got interesting. They're GIVING me both games (free). The Wisconsin is pretty much trashed, as far as I can tell. No playfield glass, rusted everywhere. No keys so I can't see inside. The backglass though looks to be in reasonably good shape and should be salvageable...

    Victory Roll - bowling game

    I found it in Billboard too, but it was 1945 - 1948, with NO pictures and $349.00 in earlier years, $65 in later years. I thought that was too early for an electric skee-ball (based on the backglass, it has to light up), but I just found out some of the older, pre-electric versions used large...

    Is it mechanical? I don't know. It looks like there's a backglass that could be backlite. All I can find on the net is an add from 1945 (without pictures), which is earlier than electrical skee ball, but maybe this one is newer?

    Victory Roll. All I can find is it was made in 1945 and sold then for $325. Someone trying to pawn one off on me and I'm trying to find out anything about it. I can't even find a picture of one to know if this one is complete. Anyone know anything about these??? Thanks.

    FS Bally Trio parting out....maybe

    Picked up a Bally Trio that's pretty much a "barn find". Am considering restoring it, but also parting it out. Figured I'd see if there's any interest in any parts before I decide. If you're interested in any parts, let me know which ones, and what you're willing to pay for it/them. I can...
