great thread.
great machines. I don't remember your machine Ted (before my time I guess) - but it is very cool looking. I remember playing 'Slugger' For sure my favorite was "Pinch Hitter" - I loved that game! Max - that machine is absolutely beautiful!

The United's Super Slugger Pitch & Bat machines were not as numerous as Max's Williams machines.
Where did you play the BB pinball games ? Also, if you do a search on my machine, you'll find some great pictures of it. Best regards and will we see you at the Philly Show this weekend ? TED Z |

Ted -
I will see you tomorrow. I am looking forward to it. I played BB pinball in arcades in malls, hotels, amusement parks, and boardwalks. I think I grew up in the arcade era. They were everywhere.

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.
