Working Jalopy Pinball Mach. from the late '40's to early '50's. Rack up the point and the Jalopy's actually race from one end to the other.............................
oh man......excuse me while I go burn all my stuff and start over.... that is a bitchin pinball. how long have you had it?
Thanks { BRIGRAT } that's way TOOO COOL! and I want it bad. Look at the racers. I'm #5, not so handsome, and my jalopy is pretty beat up. But at least I finished 1st! lol Ron....
There is a mate to this out there called " Hayburners" same machine with a diff. format, Horse racing. Be a good one for Squirrel!
Welp: you just blew up the internet for the search "Williams Jalopy Pinball machine" We never knew it existed, now the last few remaining just skyrocketed in demand. Very cool . . .
Very fun woodrail you have there. I have played its twin Hayburners and it's a hoot. I have a few pins, but all a SS and too new for the hamb. Pins are as addictive as cars any day of the week!
The bowling alley's were full of them back in the day, we would spend all day and sometimes nights playing pin ball and pool. We used to take the alley ash trays and put them under the front legs, wait for the tilting mechanism to "settle" and you could play till your fingers hurt on a quarter! I have one SS left, Paragon, love the phantasy art look........................
Cool old woodrail. Looks to be in really nice condition, too. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Works great, grandkids play it all the time! Trying to post a video but not having any luck................................................
What a great pinball machine! I've played a lot of pinball over the years, many of them at the bowling alley, too, and I don't think I've ever seen that one.
Just don’t buy a second one. They breed like rabbits. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
/\ what he said /\ I have 4 at the moment, and all of them need something done to them. They are worse than cars!
It’s a Gottlieb. If he doesn’t already know Steve Young at The Pinball Resource, he should. Especially since he needs a Gottlieb lock down bar, it’s missing in the picture. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Twinky is a Chicago Coin pinball from 1967. The graphics on the back glass show the likeness of a British model of the era known as Twiggy. Us older farts will recognize the name. Chicago Coin did not own the rights to call the game, "Twiggy", so "Twinky" was the next best title.
In Seattle we have a large pin ball museum full of vintage machines all for your playing pleasure. Yes they are all ready for play. There are 2 floors to delight even the most discriminating devote. On the 2nd floor there is what I believe is an earlier version of the jalopy pin. Next time in Seattle I will stop by and grab a photo. They advertise you can play with up to 75 machines on the floor anytime. Even though its advertised as a museum, all machines are there to play. You buy a wrist band for 4 hours of unlimited play for $13.00. or all day passes or a longer term pass. This is a fun place to take a bud nd spend a few hours. Can you imagine playing working machines of our youth????? just sayin' brasscarguy
