Quoted from Colsond3:First solid state...and this one was apparently modified for HUO before leaving the factory. Cabinet is excellent with no fade, and everything is exceptionally clean.
Interesting. Apparently only a few of these were made. http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=5092
Quoted from ForceFlow:From what I've read and seen, there were a few more than just 2 or 3 of each title that left the factory like that. I think I can account for at least 4 distinct Rock On's configured for home use.
I wonder if the home models had serial numbers.
Quoted from o-din:It has been mis-stated that Six Million Dollar Man was the first and only six player game, but it is obvious it wasn't. And I think there was even at least one before this one. I would be more than happy to shoe that one into my short flipper, multiplayer collection.
Wish I was closer.
Yep. But there's only one of them out there somewhere. http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=3766
Quoted from MiamiRedSkin:With some help, picked up this oddball game today
Great game. I bought mine NIB for $200.00 back in the 80's. For some reason they did not do well on the streets and were closed out by the manufacturer. Warehouse Of Games in St. Louis had about a dozen of them. Wish I had bought them all! Used to get a lot of play at my home back in my party days. Only problem was kids leaving the game before it ended and having to listen to that awful siren noise playing endlessly.
Quoted from Colsond3:Serial #1131. Matching backbox and cabinet. It is a no stars glass. I knew/know about the stars vs. no stars glasses, but not about the different painted cabs.
Didn't come across a receipt unfortunately, just a few service receipts from the 80s, but it does have the original envelope (that I had to tape back together), schematics, instruction cards and other tech updates.
Also check to see if the playfield has the designer and artist signatures at bottom right and left. An unknown amount of playfields like that were sent out in early games. The one I owned was the only one I have seen.
More photos and info. are in the IPDB listing for the game.
Quoted from igo4rams:Pick up my 3rd and final Fireball, Fireball II is now in the line up. Thank you Cadillac Music of Cleveland.
You need one of these.
Quoted from hoby1:And no it’s not coin-op.
Well I guess I need clean cloths too
Reminds me of an ad that appeared in the Fall 1987 issue of 'Flashback' magazine and my ad in the next issue. Sadly, only four issues were published before going under. A great magazine and some of the funniest coin-op articles ever written.
Quoted from Damonator:Lol - that’s one way to put it on free play I guess.

Quoted from Phat_Jay:Got to play some maiden
How was she? 
Anyone care to guess what's in the box? I drove 1500 miles round trip from St. Louis to Morris, Minnesota and back in 26 hours. Left Friday morning at 6:00 and was back home at 7:00 Saturday morning. It's a treasure that I have been trying to buy from the seller for about two years. We finally agreed on a reasonable price.
If no one can guess the contents of the box, I'll post a few more revealing photos later.

Quoted from BorgDog:kegerator? j/k I have no idea, but I did go to the university in Morris back in the early 80's. good times, what I remember of them.
Not a kegerator. Beautiful countryside up there. Very friendly people. Wish I could have stayed longer.
Quoted from Colsond3:A pinball game?
Quoted from finnflash:Elvira?
Nope.
Quoted from eagle18:We now know that’s what’s in the box is a Bally!
You are correct sir.
Quoted from Ranhorton:One of the last remaining NIB Addams Family?
Nope.
Quoted from eagle18:Is it a NIB 1977 Bally EK?
Nope.
Quoted from yfz450:champion pub
Nope.
Quoted from Ballypin:NIB Rapid Fire
Nope.
Quoted from yfz450:future spa or embryon? Looks like a wide body
No sir.
Quoted from Whysnow:ok, time to open the box and post some photos...
That ain't happening for a while. I have some ideas in mind. Might be just a bunch of bricks in there.
Quoted from pintechev:Whoa. A NIB EM?!?!?!?!?!?
Over 50 years old.
Quoted from Rondogg:Work slowly, take a lot of pictures. This deserves its own thread tbh.
That's the spirit!
Quoted from Pecos:Now you are really testing my ‘mental’ capabilities!
Congratulations Dennis! It couldn’t have happened to a more worthy bingo lover. All of your generosity is coming home to roost.
Thanks for the kind words. I figured I would lose a bunch of followers in this thread when it was revealed that it was 'just a bingo'. That's fine. I'm pretty much used to that. I suppose I could have posted the photos in the bingo sub-forum, but that would have made it too easy! 
One more photo with the game name covered and then I'll reveal what it is.
IMG_5541 (resized).JPGQuoted from Pecos:I’ll take a guess at the game name - Can-Can, Laguna Beach, Shoot-A-Line, Golden Gate or Silver Sails.
It's one of those. I would never buy a Shoot-A-Line.
Quoted from CollinT:We're waiting......
IMG_5524 (resized).JPG57 years in Nebraska and Minnesota weather. What condition will it be in? Most likely the backglass is shot. What else might have happened to the game during that time? Playfield splits? Rusty metal parts? Certainly gummed up, hard motor grease. Dried out leather clutches? What else? There does not appear to have been any water damage to the box. No rodent or insect damage present.
Hoping to end speculation over a few things that have come up over the years regarding new bingos.
Things that I have been told by old operators that have been disputed by some bingo enthusiasts over the years.
1. Bingo paperwork was not included with the games and had to be ordered through the distributor or directly from the factory. Most of us think the paperwork came with the game. I agree with this.
2. Reinforced bingo legs came from the factory that way. Some bingo guys dispute this. I'm 99% sure they came reinforced.
3. Bally shipped their bingos with 'Dead' rubber on the four red playfield posts. Some dispute this and think that dead rubber was added by "greedy" operators. I'm saying that this game will have factory dead rubber installed. (Probably ALL of the rubber is dead by now, but original Bally dead rubber is a grey color and should be easy to identify.)
Anyone have any other questions about this era of game?
I will probably take the game to the fall York show and open the box there. There is a bingo row set up there every year where Nick Baldridge brings his Multi-Bingo and others bring bingos to play. There is also a chance that I will open it at the next Houston show where Shawn Farwell is hoping to unveil his acrylic see-through Golden Gate bingo.
Thanks for playing along.
Not sure what we will find but it will be fun opening the box for all to see.
Quoted from Mopar:With it never having bulb heat, and if it had been in dry storage, I think there's a chance
that the glass isn't all that bad..
I hope you are right but I have a few nice originals just in case.
Quoted from egyptrus:Did you pay extra for the "door bell" mod?

1939 Bally Key Lite

Nice haul. Photos of the Eureka and Key Lite are needed for the IPDB. Please consider adding photos. I have notified Jay.
Are any of these for sale?
Quoted from Wmsfan-GAP:I was actually in the process of getting some pictures together for IPDB as well as here. They are not for sale.
Thanks!

I believe that the Eureka is the '38 version.
Quoted from RWH:That Bad Girls is a rare pin, I think they produced a little over three hundred of them.
2500 according to the IPDB.
Quoted from play_pinball:Is it floating or did you join the EM club when this fell out of the sky? What is going on in this pic?!
He's holding up the entire game with his right arm.
Quoted from AlexF:A couple classics arrived yesterday from a friend in California. Frontiersman and Skill Roll.
[quoted image][quoted image]
FYI: If you need plastics for the Frontiersman, Pinball Rescue just re-made them. Great game.
Quoted from Coindork:Tonight we had Domino’s delivered.

This is our fourth Spooky pin.
Was it delivered in 30 minutes or less?
Quoted from oldskool1969:Finally a wood rail, these are very hard to find in Australia. This one is very rough, but, it is a wood rail!

Belongs to my son. I wish he had the place 30 years ago!
Quoted from OldHockeyGuy:Do I see hockey sticks on one of the cabinets? If so, which game?

Here's a good explanation of play. http://www.pinrepair.com/baseball/cchock.htm
Quoted from PlanetExpress:First pick up in the new EV…. Two player Gottlieb fits in and ID.4, but no way you’d fit a dolly in.
(Yes, I was safely in park when I took the photo…. Safety first!)
[quoted image]
Game is in fantastic shape (underneath all the bird poo)
[quoted image]
What model is the EV?
Quoted from PlanetExpress:VW ID.4 (was the dumbest EV car name, but now Toyota took the crown with their new bZ4X)
Thanks.
