Went back and looked through - only Bally's Gold Cup had a similar button arrangement, but it's not the same (http://ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=1027&picno=22843), so I have a couple observations:

Updated ad at seattle.craigslist.org link

1) This appears to be a hand-painted title. I am making that assumption based on the paint marks on the left side, and the fact that the lettering is not centered within the title area. Plus it absolutely matches the same area as on Victory Special. Too much of a coincidence, I think!

2) Cabinet doesn't match any known, but the stencil artwork is very good - the backglass repaint is very good as well - someone cared about this conversion. The left side stencil you can see where they gave up in the middle. The second horse was not completed.

3) Buttons - I'm gonna guess this is a giant toggle switch for 'holding your horses' or keeping your selections static. Makes the name make sense, would be fairly easy to implement.

Because of the above, I think this was probably just a nice conversion. Unusual to see extra player-friendly features exposed, if indeed that's what the buttons are for, but neat to think about.

Now, a question of my own: this is a replay game - where are the replays shown on these early games? A credit projection unit?

Quite possible!

Night Club! Great game, nice glass. Power cord replacement needed, in OR.

Palm Springs with a really nice backglass. Sounds like it needs a couple switch adjustments but pretty close to 100%. CA.

Go for it! Universal games have some beautiful artwork, don't they? They were a division of United.

Last year we brought a Turf King back to life and it is a lot of fun to play. They are both one balls. If it lifts 5 balls, 4 will not play. Or someone loaded 5 in there, but really it should only have 1.

$25 would be a steal. Let me know if you need parts and I'll see what I can find. Sounds like it should be mostly or all there from the description, and playfield looks like it'll clean very nicely.

Beach Time is the top of all Magic Squares games. It offers movement of every number on the glass along with 'stop and shop', which allows you to insert more money while the game is in progress to attempt to increase features and odds.

Beach Time is the only stop and shop game to allow for before fifth stop and shop.

This game has trim modified and backglass touched up, but otherwise looks pretty darn clean. I'd buy it for $100.

That's a good deal on a desirable magic screen game, note that one has incorrect stencil. Apparently modified to use hoppers with reinforced back corners? $200 for 2 is still a good deal.

Atlantic City is a very good game. No moving numbers, but there are three cards with multiple spotted numbers. Looks in reasonable shape, cosmetically!

What, no corners? Haha! Nice work!

That's a hard-to-find game with a crazy light show. Was lucky enough to play Butch's game at the last York show.

It's quite an interesting game, too. The only six card United made, and it has a feature no other game has: the ability to make a shot in the third row and earn an extra ball. You can earn up to three per game, but the feature typically doesn't light very often.

This looks like an early game before they went to the more clear 'Double' and 'Triple' verbiage under each card. Another very nice feature.

The machine really makes some crazy sounds when it is searching to add another card or find that extra ball feature. Love it!

Night Club... one of my all-time favorites. Very nice original glass, overall decent condition, $399 in Oregon.

ebay.com link: 1977 Bally Miss Universe Bingo Pinball Machine

This one is right up the road from me... so many unique parts, and I need a playfield for the Multi. This was Bally's only 18 hole game. Someone buy it before I end up getting it just for the playfield... $150 will likely take it. Also available on Richmond Craigslist.

Looks like some mice have made a home in the lower cab at some point - but this is a rarity - Beach Beauty is the only game to allow spotting of any number on the backglass through use of the 'Wild Pockets'. Very fun game. In the multi, getting that feature to light can take a little while, but it is so worth it when it does. Glass looks good, and has playfield glass, but no lockbar.

Looks like same seller has a second machine that is not on legs - perhaps you could get a 2-for-1 deal? Worth a shot. Hopefully second game in a bit better shape.

ebay.com link: Very Nice Bally Galaxy Bingo Pinball Machine

$67?! This is another oddity - I guess all of them are for sale at once - Galaxy is the only 24 hole game and has a similar concept to Miss Universe (but 5 ball and no rebound spots), also includes a ball return feature kinda sorta similar to Tahiti. Quite odd. Looking forward to getting this one in the Multi. Have a nice playfield but no unique ball r eturn mech.

In Alabama. Auction ends in 13 hours.

Wall Street - don't see this one come up very often. Guy is selling for $800 in Tennessee, but has a make offer button. Seems to be working, though in the photo he has corners on every card lit... that's probably not right.

ebay.com link: Miami Beach 1950 s Bally Bingo Pinball Machine

Miami Beach - the only game with 'Magic Curtains' - a card that expands as you put in additional coin.

Game is a project and has 'interesting' touch-up on the backglass. Good player, though, and you don't see them very frequently.

frederick.craigslist.org link

Rarity and really interesting game - Safari in Adamstown for $40!!!

It has a solid state feature for the 'animal game', a secondary game played to earn credits separate from the main game.

Spot-Em on Eastern Shore of VA - $1200

This is a different glass provided for Fun Way/Lotta Fun.

Oh man, didn't notice that. Sorry about that. Looks like someone else in the area already posted a reply ad saying they'd come get it.

That price is too good to be true. Looks in good shape.

Ok, found a really nice looking playfield on Ebay. Problem solved.... whew!

This... is a beautiful machine. Price is a bit steep... but love the backlit horses at the top of the glass and the excellent stencil. Universal games have some fantastic art. Not a bingo, but direct ancestor!

ebay.com link: Ballys Super Wall Street Bingo Pinball Machine

Super Wall Street seems to be a conversion of Bally's Bali. Hard to find in the States, but apparently falling out of the trees in Canada. This one's in Arkansas. BG looks nice, no other photos.

ebay.com link: Nashville Bingo Pinball Machine

A Nashville. First game with the Magic Numbers. Also in Arkansas. 6 cards, corners, super lines, rollovers - lots of features.

I've never been partial to the backglass/playfield artwork on this game, but it's a great player!
