It might be worth listing at MAACA as well, although I imagine the majority of people check here as well. Still it couldn't hurt.

FYI,
The figurines are (were) made by the Workshops of Norman Greene
Just as a curiosity I have sent them an email to inquire if Norman still makes these and what the cost might be.
Worst case, it would not be very hard to get a casting made of one of the remaining figures and reproduce 3 more... although they probably wouldn't be metal.
UPDATE:
$25 USD per figure from Norman.
Not too bad considering they are cast metal.

Go for it Ted. Like I said above, don't let me stop anyone from making an offer.
It would be awesome to restore this machine but I also have plenty of projects.
If she really loves it and wants one I'm happy with it going to a good home.

Just wanted to follow up and help wrap up this thread.
Unfortunately, it seems that there wasn't a whole lot of response to this game.
I received a call from the owner last week and was told I could have it.
With some great help from our own resident blogger, this 1960 Williams Deluxe Official Baseball has found a new home. Even with some of the reels not working, we managed to set it up and have a quick game. It was set for 3 innings and there were just enough working indicator bulbs that we managed to have a pretty decent game. We just had to count runs in our heads for player two.
Thanks Rob!
I still say it was a tie, but I guess we'll never know
Anyway, I'll be digging into it over the next few days and see if I can get it running 100% before I dig in for a proper restore.

For sure. The head comes off easily with 4 connectors and 3 bolts (which this game didn't even have). The cabinet is roughly a foot longer/taller than a standard pin, so that made getting it upstairs a little more work... but this staircase was Wong-approved
