My assumption is that an EM game would be significantly slower then a modern game with ramps, upper playfields and coil kickbacks.

Quoted from ktownhero:you'd have to scale the speed to something more comparable
Big toe speed?
Quoted from FatPanda:3 miles per hour = 52.8 inches per second.
Considering the length of a standard playfield is approximately 43 inches (even less so, since I just used the size of playfield glass) it would take a ball 0.814 seconds to travel from the very base of the playfield, (where the hangers are) to reach the very back of the playfield, where the backboard is.
Seems pretty quick to me. And that's just on the OPs game.
This seems like a plausible and realistic number for this older EM game. I bet there are games that are WAY faster though. F-14 tomcat comes to mind, I bet you could flip a ball the length of the playfield in 0.5 of a second, even faster if you snapped just right off the momentum of the kickback.
