***Update part has been Identified "1965 Gottlieb games - Bank-A-Ball is a replay game and Flipper Pool" unfortunately for some unlucky soul that will receive it.

Please post a picture and the most needy will receive it still free.

This was given to me by a friend of a friend that I do not know. I am told it is a family Heirloom passed down from Father to son and then back up again. This friend being the middleman, said the owner would not tell him what game it came from or how he got it and why, nor even what purpose it served. Very peculiar to say the least. As he bestowed this relic to me I felt an uneasiness settle upon me. Like finding the The Maltese Falcon, I knew immediately that many had been on a search to find this and would do anything to get it. I want NO part in this. If you can correctly identify this part AND you have the need for it. I will ship to you free of charge and pay Pinside a thank you donation as I will be Glad to be relieved from this burden that has been past down to me. If this Ad is still up...I may yet still be alive, to make the transaction. HASTILY NOW before I to pass this relic down to one of my disinterested sons...

Yes

Both are 1965 Gottlieb games - Bank-A-Ball is a replay game and Flipper Pool is the add-a-ball version

I think we have successfully identified the part in TRUE Pinside fashion within minutes of posting the image!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now the hard part deciding who to pass this accursed relic to from the more than worthy PM's I have received.

This is tougher than I thought not only has this thing been identified but there appear to be a lot of people that have all of the bank balls broken off and could really use this to restore their games. I have been offered money and shipping but as a man I my word I intend to give this away as it was given to me by someone from someone that just wanted it to be used. I never thought so many would need it. REMOVE THIS CURSE FROM ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have gotten many requests, that need this ACCURSED RELIC, as many many people have the game with missing or broken ball switches... must be part of the curse....

PLEASE post a pic on the thread of the condition of yours! I am requesting this to to see honestly who is most in need. I understand Pinball Resource has them but are very expensive.

I still intend to give away, as people have been offering money so don't try...not what I am really looking for just the most needy of my pathetic humor and altruism.

In all seriousness though, kudos to the OP for still offering this for free, even after a few people have offered to pay cash for it. Good on you OP!
Also; The curse! Beware the curse!

I think this is all a big scam to get a bunch of guys to post pics of their balls on the internet. I, for one, will not be participating

Maybe the sarcasm didn't translate in my last post . My (bank-a) balls are currently all present with a few 'low hangers'. Someone else could probably use them more right now.
