Quoted from Dayhuff:That's pretty sweet and certainly something you don't see everyday in this hobby.
An original idea?

Do you have photos of the boards? I'd be interested to see what the backbox looks like.

Nice! Thx for sharing. Love the dude!
I will be taking some this week, they look like a normal set of wpc boards. Has different apron and ramps that I’ve noticed.
Quoted from lyonsden:Not sure if these count as rare, but pulled these tokens out of a game. German and marked with Bally. I think they are pretty cool and will probably use them as key fobs for my games.
Were they in a pin or a Bally WULFF wall-mount slot machine?
Quoted from MrBally:Were they in a pin or a Bally WULFF wall-mount slot machine?
In a pin (scattered in the cab and coin box). Didn't know that WULFF was a slot machine. They have/had slots in Germany? WULFF looks like an electronics entertainment company there: https://www.ballywulff.de/ If I recall, I got these from a Baywatch reimport, so something from the mid '90s.

Bally WULFF makes their own wall-mounted slot machines and they distribute many brands of amusement and gaming machines.
Quoted from gorgar007:This rug came with my Addams. No idea who made it. It's thin and has an anti slip coating on the back.
Damn it i have been looking for one of those for YEARS.
Somebody on RGP (back years ago) was making those floor mats until they got shut down. Research it in the archives and you can read the entire story.

I know a guy in my area who has a whole bunch of them... very cool. I’ve tried the $5 Chinese ones on Amazon.. you get what you pay for...
Quoted from rvdv:Unpacking & displaying some of my storage stuf, there is more
WOW VERY nice collection, I can just imagine them all lit up in Swap Boxes.
Quoted from rvdv:Couple more just taken out
Looks like Sting? Some nice backglasses. The one I recall is Miss World Captian Neo had at Expo a couple years back. Locomotion sounds familiar. Were theze Zacaria games?
Quoted from chad:Looks like Sting?
Yep. The people in the "Horror" backglass were stolen from the "Dune" movie, including Sting.
Looks like those are from a variety of small European manufacturers.
Really cool!

Locomotion & horror we’re Zaccaria games
Eric M sent me a signed Pirates mini playfield and a Pirates translite signed by everyone on the design team. Not only is it a Pirates translite, but in the nice letter he included he said it was literally the very first ever Pirates translite...it was his engineering sample and he breaks down each signature on the translite letting me know who each one is and what their role was in the game's development. It's being framed now and will take a place of honor on the game room wall.
Holy crap rvdv, I swear you have some backglasses that aren't even listed in ipdb for ultra-obscure Euro pins(all that are pretty awesome in their own regard).
Quoted from rvdv:Couple more just taken out
Don't forget, our state has a big shaker motor underground. You've gotta secure those things somehow. (Not that I've done a good job of securing ours...)

Bally-Wulff is a totally different company. And is not related to Bally(pinball) wich I never understood because they share kind of the same logo. But different story...
Here is a game I used to own.
Seems like your tokens are related to any Fun-Amusement game(wich my game wasn't)
Greetings from Germany

Quoted from Midway-Man:Bally-Wulff is a totally different company.
I thought they were a German subsidiary of Bally until the Williams take over in the 90's.
They were part of Bally Manufacturing Corporation from the Acquisition of Guenter Wulff Apparatebau in 1972 until Bally Gaming International (slots & German wall machines) was spun off in the early 1990's. Eventually, Bally Wulff was spun off from Bally Gaming in the 2000's with the Bally name being licensed for use with the name Wulff at no charge into perpetuity.
Thus, not directly related to the Williams aquisition of Bally Pinball.
Nice Eurotech machine there. The newest I have are Technik 2000's.

You need to write a book
I would buy it...
Here is a one-of-a-kind workup for "Mousin' Around" translight. It features gold cheeses instead of the production yellow ones. I have it because my name is buried in the artwork. The second item is the original layout for the never produced "BMX" flyer.
Quoted from LesManley:It's being framed now and will take a place of honor on the game room wall.
Whoa! Get that to Jack to sign as well...
Quoted from Pinthetic:Here's something I completely forgot about and it's hanging in front of me everyday. The Bally emblem from my old service truck from the late 80's. I took it off the passenger door when I got a new truck and framed it here in my game room. Glad I kept it.
That's awesome!
Quoted from Dayhuff:Anybody know anything about this manufacturer? I think it's supposed to dispense gumball's or maybe bouncy balls?
John
My buddy at work lives in Butler and has done a ton of historical research. The only thing he knew about it was it was built after 1963, because that is when they started using zip codes

Quoted from DennisDodel:hmmm....http://www.nytimes.com/1976/02/04/archives/metropolitan-briefs-man-guilty-in-shelton-firebombing-award-against.html
Probably sold the machines direct to an unscrupulous route operator (Believe it or not; there were a few.... thousand of them) instead of a Distributor. The op probably didn't pay for the machines so the brothers may have went to "collect".

There is an ad for the game and one other (with photos) in the Dec. 17, 1966 issue of Billboard, page 61. Upper left corner, under the company name 'Betco'.
Just an early version of gumball games.
Here's a link to the Billboard archives: http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Billboard-Magazine.htm
