Was sitting here thinking about when I first got into pinball. I thought I only owned one Pin in my life which is a TZ until I remembered the Marx's Sweepstakes Pinball I had as a kid. I can still remember playing that thing with my dad in the 70's.

LOL! I was about 8 when I had that machine back in the 70's, just a toy but thought it would bring back some memories to someone. That was funny though!
Very cool. My mom picked up a pinball machine from a garage sale that was either a Marx or something from Sears in the late 70s. Different than that one, but I loved it. Then one day it was gone from our garage sale along with my comics. The seed was planted though. 17 pins later - oh my.
I was only cool enough to own the little smaller table top versions.
I have seen and played these but never owned one back in the day.
It was new and probably came from sears because that is the only place my parents shopped. Don't know the cost but was probably a lot for my father as he was a bartender and my mom was a house wife. I took those pictures off an auction that stated they go for $100 to $150 now.
Quoted from SunKing:I had something like that. It was a Race-o-Rama with TWELVE pop bumpers. Here's a pic of me playing it while my brother, dad and grandfather watch. Pic was taken Christmas morning 1976.

While we're being nostalgic... I think this is what first peaked my interest in pinball.

I was just watching this the other day. There was an updated stop motion version on YouTube that was really cool.
