Could be a physical Location....Capone was arrested in 1931.
Prohibition ended in 1933.

I asked his Niece, Deidre, about Pinball in her Uncles places a few years back,
and she said she remembered Slot Machines, but not Pinball.

The pinball in the 30s that were used for Gambling, could have been in the same locations though, as Capones, but with
Notoriety....

Great Game, Big Broadcast Though!

Sweet! Id love to see more pics of the scoring mech in the backbox.
Is it projection wheel scoring?

Never seen a game from them....creative spring bumpers!

That is amazing! Does it have a Payout mech?

The cost of the game was really high back then....doubt many exist...first Ive seen, and in amazing shape!

Nice Find!

Quoted from TopMoose:

I was notified of an auction this week, Northwest of Chicago, where some old pins are being sold. A beautiful 1935 Chicago Express will be on the block on Friday, with a ball lock mechanism reminiscent of Flight 2000.

There’s no way I can make it up there, but maybe a member of the Pre-War Team will snag it? If so, please post here. I’d love to see it in action.

Good Catch, and a Unique Pin.....Some other really nice arcade pieces too!

Sorry, I dont have mine anymore. Its somewhere here in Florida.

It was in worse shape than yours, so unless someone here restored it, its sitting as a "project" to do.

I can try to help, if I know something.....Whats your needs? Others can chime.....

I just Love the Playfield and History.

I use Renaissance Wax after a full cleaning. Any Paint and stain touchups.
Easy wipe on, protective coating, one can build up 3 layers for ball trial protection.
