Old Baseball Mechanical Pinball Machine

[RedRooster]

I have a 1933 Mechanical Standing Baseball Pinball Machine with original picture of umpire on it screeming playball. I have only seen one other. It was in a museum. The pinball machine did not have the billboard backing on it. The machine has small nails to direct the ball as it falls. I have done research and can not find any information on this machine.

This sounds very much like one that is still in operation (I think) at the arcade of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Lemme see if I can find a pic online..

I couldn't find one like the Boardwalks, but this sounds like yours. This one is a 1941 Play Ball machine by Evans:

Close. But the board on the back just has a picture of the umpire with 5cents on the right side of the board. It is flat with a glass cover like this one and it is a 1933 model. You deliver the ball up with a spring loaded pendulem and then the ball falls down into a maze of iron pegs with U shaped implements to catch the ball. It also has a loaded spinner in the bottom middle that spins if the ball falls into the correct hole. I am trying to get a picture of the machine on here. But this machine is very close. Thanks for the info and please send me another picture of older model if you can find one.

Thanks to all. I found out that it is a 1933 Rockola World Series Mechanical Pinball Machine.
