Hi Jim,
I have a 1935? Rockola Big Bank Night...Both are games are likely Rare!
look forward to a pic to see the similarities, and differences.
I find Rockola to be ahead of the curve in the middle 30s, but not as Popular as Bally, and Genco.
Sure, Id like to own one, so would Jim nearby....he is amassing a nice 30s collection he brought to Freeplay.
You should have a line of people for it....
You got a beauty!
If you get into the game, perhaps you can share a picture of the unique innovation Rockola added to this game!
Instead of a Bell, which was a New Feature in 1934, when a Rifle shot was made here, there is suppose to be some kind of metal "whip snap"
to sound like the crack of a shotgun on the game!
Big Game hunting was still a Fashionable, Respectable, "Sport"...often attached to the Media attention to Teddy Roosevelt.
Must of scared quite a few people back then!
Its different in every way than the big bank nite I have.
I wonder if yours was ever offered in a payout version?
Mine was, although I dont have one built with the mech.
Not even sure if any existed..It was a debate with Dick Beuschel ages ago.
Hope you enjoy it!...First one Ive seen!
Quoted from jfried1399:Oldpinguy can you post pictures of the big bank night? The EM Rockola's aren't as collectible as the PMs but they are a lot rarer. There is a video of the Bomber on youtube.
Might take a couple months...Its buried under stuff as our house is a mess from the Hurricane, but will do.......
Quoted from jfried1399:Speaking of Big Bank Night. One of the big box machines. I have a flashlight in a similar box.
