Gottlieb Baffle Ball
 
Looking for good resources on Gottlieb Baffle Ball pin ball games.
I have a 1931 Baffle Ball and looking to find out a fair value on it and if any parts might be available.
I've found some information but don't know how current & accurate it is.
Thanks for any help.

Price would depend on condition and playability

put a picture or two up

It's in very nice original condition & plays well.

$400 To $700 if it is like the one pictured if it said baseball on it it would be more

Baffle ball
 
mine is like the one pictured lacking the table & baffle ball sign.
Thought it would be valued higher though.
Are there any resources: books or websites which include these older pin ball games?

Deacon, great item.
You probably know all this already, but since you asked for leads...

The Internet Pinball Database is the premier source for pinball info.
Your specific game (Baffle Ball Sr.) is here:
http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=131
and more variations of Baffle Ball can be found here:
http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?any=ba...archtype=quick

Pinside is a pretty busy pinball forum with plenty of discussion of antique games. That's here:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum

Two excellent books on pinball and coin-op history, both of them loaded to the gills with big color photos, are:
Pinball! by Roger C Sharpe (1977, E P Dutton)
and
Slot Machines and Coin-Op Games by Bill Kurtz (1991, Chartwell Books).
Baffle Ball is mentioned and/or shown in both.

Sorry we can't provide any input on market value. The tabletop versions of Baffle Ball are seen fairly often,
but the Baffle Ball Sr. coin-op is pretty scarce, and we haven't tracked any auction prices for it.

We hope that's of some help.

Hunts has sold a lot of 1930's pinball machines over the years. Search pinball one word for best results

Thanks for all the information
