Looks like a clone of Baffle Ball. It's worth what you're willing to pay for it. It's manufactured by Keeney, so that makes sense (they did contract manufacturing for Gottlieb, IIRC).

How many are there left in the world? The shooter looks incorrect, but if there was a better pic it would probably help.

Missing instruction card - text is on IPDB. Chunk taken out of wood near shooter.

I'll try to look it up today in the Mr. Pinball or PinballEric price guide and see what I can find.

Found the shooter rod! Knob probably broke off, did the wood damage and the rod itself sproinged up onto the playfield.

Shooter rods are commonly damaged or missing on pure mechanical pins.

Wood looks like it will clean up nicely, playfield should as well. Be very careful about cleaning the playing surface if you pick this up.

The paint can be quite fragile and something abrasive like Novus 2 will potentially be the end of it.

Pure mechanical and early EM games are quite fun. Seeing the evolution of pinball is quite neat in any collection.

I've got my books at hand at home, I'll post values here today. Those are ballparks for a good condition machine - price up or down according to whim.

I saw one of these in an antique shop in Illinois about a year ago. Visiting again and it was gone. I suspect it's the same machine as it's also missing the glass clips. If you look on IPDB you'll notice what I'm talking about. Neat machine. Huge for a pre-war game.

Wondered about that. Don't turn it upside-down.

$200-$400

You have to make what's missing - shouldn't be hard. There's not a lot.

175-250 or so should do it. Keen Ball isn't listed, but similar titles are where I pulled pricing, and from pieces missing adjusted down.

Cab looks good, glass is there, playfield should clean up.

I should mention that the Keeney version might be more rare than others. But they made a bajillion Baffle Balls.

When I saw it, it had a tag of $650 or $695 on it.

Good to know.

Well, the typical 'good luck haggling with an antique store' applies, too.

Again, op, it is worth what you are willing to pay for it.

Good luck, hope you pick it up.

Is this keen ball or keen-a-ball? A guy at work has a keen a ball that he may give me once its unburied, supposedly working but i dont know, not sure if its the same game or different, but if you do pick it up, i may be able to help with pics or whatever you need once i get it

Scratch that, different game

I ran across that same game when I was coming back from picking up a game in Illinois on Saturday. It looked interesting, but I don't have the space... I was wondering if there was supposed to be some kind of back board display? There were mounting holes on the back of the cabinet that looked like something should go there. Maybe just a light?

I talked to the owner for a while. He said somebody just brought it into the shop and he didn't really know much about it. Are you going back to get it?
