As this baseball themed arcade game was manufactured in 1948, it is in near pristine condition. The housing cabinet is superb with curved glass and has a clean interior field, containing two animated manikin baseball players- a pitcher and a batter. The player is given 10 pitches for every nickel and can receive up to 200,000 points. The objective of the game is to hit the steel ball into one of the 5 levels at the rear, the lowest level being a foul and the highest, a home run. The light up display is very active while in operation, moving the player from one base to the other. Unlike most baseball arcade games, the steel ball is not rolled but thrown overhand This game is challenging and fun but definitely requires skill. Thankfully on free-play for endless amounts of practice and amusement. Two keys are provided. This machine currently has a 1¢ coin mech. The cabinet may have had a professional restoration, but the interior looks to be in gorgeous, original condition. A holy grail title to all advanced collectors. Less than five known examples.
Condition: (Excellent).
Item Dimensions: 79-1/2"T x 26-1/2"W x 46"D.
