If someone takes the lead to add the following listing, I can furnish good photos of these restored prewar games:

PAMCO Major League
Daval Chicago Express
Chicago Coin Rapid Transit
Chicago Coin Wing Lite
Genco Gridiron
Genco Official Baseball
Rockola trifecta
Bally Signal, Jr.
Bally The Pennant
Gottlieb Speedway

It's great seeing several prewar games on video. However, the event host ought to know that Genco is pronounced with a hard "G" inasmuch as the name derives from company owner, Sam Gensberg. The interviewer got it right and was too polite to make the correction on camera.

In any event, prewar game popularity has dramatically escalated in the last 5 years, with the last 30 years manifesting static or modest growth. It's fantastic that so many prewars are finding their way into exhibitions.

Quoted from cait001:

some videos found!
Bally "Airway" pinball
"Brokers Tip" pinball
Chicago Coin "Sensation Of 1937" pinball
Gottlieb 1934 "Merry-Go-Round" pinball !!!
Bally 1937 "Sprint" pinball
Genco 1935 "Criss Cross 'A' Lite"
Bally 1932 "Goofy" pinball

Perhaps you know how to have a game's photo become the thumbnail icon for that game? I don't. I have posted several photos of prewar games to "image" section of each game. While those images successfully uploaded, the actual game's icon remains blank. The games involved are as follows:

Chicago Coin----Rapid Transit
Chicago Coin----Wing Lite
Genco-----Gridiron
Daval------Chicago Express
PAMCO----Major League (the later model, with revised apron, has a blank thumbnail). The earlier model, with the cast apron, does have a thumbnail photo/icon.

This is complete

Good job, Jeff. The presence of a thumbnail photo somehow transforms the game from obscurity to reality. . .long overdue for these prewar gems, which planted the seeds of this hobby.
