Here's a one-of-a-kind pinball item. This is the original concept artwork that was created for the playfield of Bally's EMBRYON pinball machine. Hand drawn by pinball artist Tony Ramunni, who also created the artwork for Williams' BLACK KNIGHT and SCORPION, as well as Bally's SPECIAL FORCE, ELEKTRA, HEAVY METAL MELTDOWN, EIGHT BALL CHAMP, MOTORDOME, and others. This isn't a reprint, a reproduction, a copy, or a one-off -- it's the ORIGINAL concept artwork which was created by Ramunni for Bally executives to view before giving approval for creation of the final, full-size playfield artwork. This concept artwork strongly resembles the final playfield art, which was also done by Ramunni. If you've been looking for a unique item to add to your pinball collection, this is it.
Original pinball artwork of any kind is rarely offered for sale to the public. This artwork was done in colored marker and pencil, and was drawn on thin white paper which was mounted on a cardboard backing. This artwork is now enclosed in a sturdy black wooden frame with glass covering the art. There are a couple of small rips in the paper, but these are not very noticeable due to the glass over it. The artwork is about 12" X 19", and the entire framed display is about 20" X 27".
I'm interested in trading for a complete and working pinball machine from 1978 or newer. Particularly interested in late 1970s and early 1980s Bally and Stern games, but would consider Gottlieb and Williams games from the 1980s and newer as well. No foreign pinballs, please. Depending on the machine offered, I might consider including another piece of pinball concept artwork along with this EMBRYON playfield concept artwork.
