    I made this a Thread in case anyone else had anything they may sometime like a hand identifying..
    I'm attempting to clear and straighten out one of the barns and came upon this playfield. No idea where
    I got it, but just a little curious what title it belonged to. The relay bank on the backside looks maybe to
    be a Williams, but could be others..

    United Ramona - https://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1915&picno=3271

    United used a very, very similar playfield layout on many of their games.

    Another giveaway is the flipper design mid-field.

    You're Quick! If boxing, a 1st Round Knockout..

    It helps that I happened to see that Ramona is present on the bottom-most insert as well (familiarity with these games helps a bit, because you are often spelling the name of the game).

    If you come across others with relay banks intact (including paper) you can usually tell that way as well.

    For those who haven't seen them this gives you an idea how those impulse flippers work on another United game:

    Wuz gonna say, definitely a United.

    #7 3 years ago

    An United. Grammar counts.

    That doesn't sound right.

    Yea, you're right, but neither does "a". I think many times the word united is used
    without the need of an "an" (or a), but not in this case..
    I'll start another thread. "Grammar Class"

    An Umbrella sounds correct
    but an Unicorn does not sound correct.
    Difference is the Long U vs short U sounds

    Quoted from jrpinball:

    Ha, because it’s not. “United” has the “y” starting sound which is a consonant and therefore it’s proper to use “a” as opposed to “an”.

    Now I just need to figure out why the word “judgment” is not spelled “judgement”.

    Oh! This is new to me. I only remember an before a vowel, then again, I only went up to 8th grade in
    public school before getting my high school equivalency..
    Anyways, here's a Bally Bingo but no clue on the title. It's seems to be complete, and if anyone
    could put it to use, they're welcome to have it..

    Bally Night Club - one of my favorite games!

    If you're ever in Upstate N.Y. (Newark), you're welcome to have it if it's something you
    can use. Years back, I picked it up from the original old time vendor. It has the keys and legs.
    Glass is dirty. Playfield's not bad..

    Thank you - I'm not sure I'll be up that way any time soon.

    Aside from the minor adhesion problem on the backglass art, it looks pretty nice (especially for the price)!

    You have one of these already, correct? From VC?

    I did several years ago (already?), but sold it a couple of years ago. The only bingo I have left is the Multi.

    What happened to "Caravan"?

    #19 3 years ago

    That was sold last year to a young person who wanted to get a bingo pinball for his Dad.

    All of my bingos, save one, were sold to newly minted bingo folks.

    I kinda dig those United ones!

    Needless to say, this shooting gallery doesn't need I.D.ing, but hard to find information.
    Murphdom did a check with the Gun Machine groups on fb, and got one hit from Africa,
    and his machine's been buried for years. Back in the 90s, I picked it up from the original
    old time Vendor. Not sure if it's worth the amount of work it'll take, but I think I'll be saving
    it. If anyone knows of another, I'd like to hear..
