Question
I have an old pinball machine. I know nothing about it. My Father bought it about 20 years ago. Here is a little discription, I will try to send a photo of it as well. It has a band playing on the scoreboard with a lady at the mike, she is wearing sprakly green bikini top with matching bellbotton pants. The sides are painted in red, white, and blue swirls, there are musical notes and a outlined guitar on it as well. Can you tell me what the make and model is? And possibly what it's value is worth?

Thank you,
Deserae
Hi Deserae,
The photo here, this time saved the day as I had no name or manufacture to go on, but the photo did it all, so thank you for posting one Deserae. You have a 1976 pinball made by Chicago Coin Manufacturing Co., and it is called "Sound Stage". This is a two player game and they originally manufactured 3,000 of these units. Todays value in average condition is $325.00 by the book, but this is a guide value so nothing stops you from asking a little more for it. I hope this has given you all the information your looking for on it. I aim to keep my feedback here as high as possible to if you have any other question about it, please just ask.
Thank You
Sincerely
Rodger Knutson

Expertise
I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience
I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
