I recently did a minor restoration on a Genco Hits & Runs. It's a fairly rare game that you don't see much. Less than 500 made in 1951.

The good:

- It's a baseball themed pinball machine. Very cool.
- Two large bells in the back of the cabinet sound great.
- Very nice artwork on the playfield and the cabinet. One thing Genco did right in this era was to give each game some cabinet artwork that fits the theme well as opposed to the typical square and diamond shapes.
- Two little baseball players move back and forth at the top of the playfied are neat.
- Rules are actually pretty good. Try and hit the lit roll overs to advance your batting average and runs. This will turn the kick out hole and side lane lights on and off. If you manage to roll over the side lanes or get your ball in the kick out hole when they're lit, you'll earn three "specials." EXTRA SPECIAL!
- With good rubber and properly set up this is a pretty snappy game. Superior nudging is a must.
- Genco shooter gauges are beautiful when polished.

The bad:
- The top center kick out hole is tough to save.
- Outward mounted flipper bats as opposed to inner ones
- Getting the ball in either side lane is VERY hard
- No replay knocker
- Finding one to play
