The Professional pinball machine

[Mike Walsh]

Hey Folks,
Can anyone shed any light on “The Professional”
Pinball machine? Is there any value/demand!?
It’s an interesting bit of Canadian pinball history. I don’t know much but it was a conversion kit sent out to dealers/leagues for a nation wide tournament that was supposed to happen back in the 80’s. The tournament never happened. Details are hard to find.

Thanks Lucy,
Certainly doesn’t make it look super desirable.

 

[Mike Walsh]

Hahaha! Spell correct!!
Sorry about that Lucy!!!
I mean Luch!

 

[luch]

yeah when the original game is converted , it becomes less desirable , so would say pass on it

The Professional might be a conversion kit used for a few different games. Owned one that the playfield layout was Evel Knievel and the other one I saw once was a Eight Ball, both Bally machines from the late 70's
