1934-35 pinball machine

Postby JimK » Fri Feb 21, 2014 9:47 am

Hello,
I hope that I am not becoming a pest but here is another work in progress machine that I have. The pictures are not my machine but mine is exactly like it (mine is in a storage so I borrowed these). It is in very good shape but I am missing some stuff. Is there anyone here that knows about these and\or maybe has parts for the early pinball machines? I am really good at the cosmetic stuff but a little weak on the electrical\mechanical. If all the pieces where there I could figure it out, but some of it did not make it through the years.
Thanks again and as always Input and suggestions are always welcome.

JimK

I have an original un-restored Gottlieb "Big Broadcast" machine. It looks to be very similar to yours. Outside of missing the coin box door, are the internal parts of yours intact? You might be able to fabricate a coin box/door to make yours complete.
Here is a link to a few images of mine:

Slowly building a knowledge base on E2000 series Bally machines and J400 Jennings. Started with the antique Mills and Jennings. Getting there...

Thanks for the responses and links. As I said the pictures in the first post are not my machine. I "borrowed" them from the internet. However I found some pics of mine. They may take a few posts but this is what I have:

This is what is missing (not my pic). It is the base running mech. Any help would be a very much appreciated.

Jim,

I have this machine. It's a Pacific Amusement MAJOR LEAGUE.
What exactly are you needing?

Jim,

Did a little research. It appears your machine is the earlier version.
Take a look here for additional info:
http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?any=major+league&search=Search+Database&searchtype=quick

If you're missing the whole thing, I wonder if the later version of the game, like mine, would work in your machine.
This pinball game is a little on the rare side and I doubt you'll find the parts you need. You're probably going to have to build them your self.

Did I read you live in central KY? I live about an hour and a half south of Nashville.
I'll be happy to help you get your machine going.

I've seen two of these machines on eBay. They go for pretty good money.

Rick,
From what I can tell the base running arms, spring and solenoid are missing, I am betting with some decent pictures I could make the arms and a spring could be found. So I guess that a solenoid is what I need most. Then will come the wiring but I should be able to figure that out (he says with confidence) but I could use all the help I can get. I am just south of Lexington KY on hwy 27 in a little town called Nicholasville. Thank you very much for your offer to help. I look forward to hearing from you.

Jim
