    Well. I really got it last year while I was on my Chicago trip. My Uncle had this old Bally pinball machine in his basement. He said if I wanted it, load it up. So, off to Tennessee it went. Didn't have to ask twice. When I got it home I took it to a fellow that works on them and he went thru it and fixed a couple of problems. Got it working great. It took a while since he just worked on it in his spare time. Almost lost it in the floods that came in May. His shop got three feet of water in it. Luckily he got it out in time and got it on higher ground. Anyway, He just dropped it off and I'm playing that silver ball. It's a 1964 Bally 2 in 1. It was made in Franklin Park IL not far from where I used to live. I've had a few friends that worked for Bally over the years. Anybody else love these old pinball machines??

    That's the guy who fixed this one up for me. He had to close the store after the floods. This was in the shop and they moved it out the Saturday when the rains started. Glad he had the foresight to move it. It surely would have been lost. I hate he lost the store. He had a nice little snack shop with about 10-15 machines set up. He and his wife ran it. It was a cool place. He's still doing repair work, but from his house now.
