A really odd and presumably rare unit just showed up on my local Facebook Marketplace, Home Run Hitter from Coin Concepts of East Brunswick, NJ. Never heard of it nor seen it. No page here for it, and the IPDB page has almost no details either (https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=4761). No idea how it even worked until I found a 10 second youtube video on it:
So technically it's not a pitch-and-bat even though it's certainly designed like one, including the mechanical stand up figures in the backboard like classic 1950s era pitch-and-bats! What a weird thing. But I'm already up to my eyeballs in oddities and projects, so have at it if you're interested:
