[GoldenAge50s]

---that machine you have is a BEAUTY! Thanks for showing it! The others bring back memories too!

Having been born & raised in a couple of small country towns in WNY, pinball machines were not something I had seen much of growing up.

In the early '50's I went on vacation thru the midwest w/ my parents & we spent a few days in St Louis, staying at a real nice downtown hotel.

While looking around the lobby area I spotted a big ole' Williams Baseball machine! I was hooked!

Every nickel I could conjure from my parents I spent on that machine--every free moment I had I was there in the lobby trying to knock those little silver balls up the ramps & into the stands--it was the highlight of my visit to St Louis!
