Question
Hello, I recently purchased a Bally champion pinball machine. Playboard is great, but cabinet is painted gray. What would the original cabinet finish be? Were there any graphics on the sides? It is missing the second coin slide. Where would a good source be to find one?
Thanks for your help!
Peter
HI Peter, Bally Champion was a continuation of the same type of pinball as Bally's first payout pinball Rocket. Getting a certain number of the holes would start the payout, then each succeeding hole would pop out another 2 coins. If you contact me at coinoplibrary@comcast.net I can send you a pic of what the cabinet should look like. Larry www.coinoplibrary.com
