Intro story

Hi. Just joined the forum yesterday, 11/19/2022. I'm a retired fiber-optic engineer and enjoy trouble shooting. I came across this site while searching for info on a very old and damaged Amusment Enterprises Bank Ball machine. Irving Kaye Co. produced these Skee Ball like machines in the mid '40s. This one came into my hands via a long list of old friends of relatives and was destin for the dump. I couldn't let it go there. I noticed while browsing this forum that many old electro mechanical games use the same type control mechanisms as this Bank Ball machine. So, I'm here looking for general knowledge of these old games and replacement part options. Thanks, Bill
