Hi, I just bought my first pinball and I am going to need some restoration help. The machine was bought "as is". I can easily get it working since in is primarily mechanical but I would like to restore it as close to possible to original.
The only problem I have is someone has stripped out the electrical components including I suspect the payout mechanism. Is anyone able to describe or point me to any resources that could help ?
Thank you
1933 ? .. .OMG
Most likely these were early low voltage and battery driven. My only experience with something of that age was a Bally Rocket I sold to a German collector via a well known New York auction house.
(Most people don't realize there were "B" batteries .. they just didn't catch on and went away)
Here is a couple of pics of the playfield and some sales adds. Nice looking machine, pretty old!! Cool!

I found a schematic at Marco Specialties...

Correction - that schematic is for a Keeney machine.
Try the Pinball Resource.
Nice help/finds Bill2626 ... I didn't dig/look that far .. looks like one of the old bagatelle pin machines like the one I donated to the museum of science and industry in Chicago.
Wow, nice forum community, thanks folks.
Yes, it was definitely a battery system. It does not seem like too much is missing (I hope) but from the looks of things it was converted from a payout machine to an amusement only machine a long long time ago, probably due to changes in the law.
