Great stuff, Ted! Such pride of workmanship and attention to detail... that is one spectacular machine. I can't think of anything that better defines the golden era of baseball (and Americana) better than that.

Thanks for posting...

Interesting post, Ted, thanks for sharing. It's hard to believe that the pinball-baseball machines pictured in this thread survived in such nice shape over the years.

The following is the history of my machine:

Circa 1955 to 1976 at a boardwalk arcade at the Jersey shore.

Then the previous owner had it operating in his parent's garage from 1976 to 1988.

I acquired it from him in 1988; and, it has been operational since then. From 1988 to 2002 in our
house at the Jersey shore. And in 2002, we moved it to our home in Pennsylvania.

Perhaps, it is still in pretty nice shape because it was privately owned for the past 35 years. And,
I keep it operational by doing periodic maintenance on it.

Nice game you have there Ted. I am just old enough to remember the old Atlantic City arcades with these and some other "pre-modern" machines. Pinball and similar games are really not out there much anymore-too bad, a couple of hours wasted in the pub with a pinball machine is not wasted time.

Thanks for the info.

I'll make a point of it, next time I'm near Pontiac, to check out the museum.
