Picked up a Bank A ball by J.F. Linck Corp.
I think it is from 1932 since I have a copy of an advertisements from
3 different pages from "The Coin Machine Journal" from April 1932.

Yeah it is Jeff. The knob on the right side of the plunger adjusts the angle of the piece in the upper right side of playfield to bank the balls to the pockets.

Ryan,
When you insert the coin, it opens those pockets, lifts the bottom bar and lets the balls roll to the shooter. It was jammed in the pictures I took when I got it. Once the balls are released, the arms close and leaves a small opening for the balls to enter and to hold the balls in the three pockets (100, 200 and 300 points). The 2000 points they talk about in the instructions, are when you get a ball in each of the three pockets, you get a 2000 point bonus. I will take a few pictures with the machine unjammed to show.
Ryan,
I will not be able to attend TPF this year. I am trying to figure out how to get there next year. If I want to bring games, which is what I want to do, it is a long drive from Florida. I am sure you will be trying to steal away quite a bit to Jeff's booth to play those awesome games. What type of artwork do you do?
Jeff
